Jeff Adrien to the Pelicans

[BigErnMcCracken]

Good for Jeff. Great kid who's proven a lot of people wrong.

No i didn't ignore ryan anderson. That entire front line is injury prone, so spot minutes can be earned ahead of perkins and cunningham, two guys JA could outplay completely. I'm also not sure what your point is; does jeff adrien deserve an opportunity to start immediately on an nba team? not really, he isn't good enough. sorry. neither was ollie. point being any situation in the nba is a good situation for these kind of players.

Agreed

He got waived, dude can't catch a break, I figured with all of the Pelicans injuries up front he would stick with them.

Zach Lowe just talked about him on the podcast and mentioned he could play. Hopefully that is a sentiment around the league and he will land somewhere else.

 

[Fishy]

He didn't really have a great shot at making that team - he was basically injury insurance.

He'll be in the D-League.

He is getting to the point where he might have to commit to playing overseas.

 

[Kitaman]

Just a matter of time until he's starting over Anthony Davis.

Most importantly, Jeff probably agrees with you.

I often wonder when it all ends would he be offered to coach our bigs.

 

[champs99and04]

I honestly don't get it. The guy has proven himself as an NBA player.

 

[James]

this makes little sense, as others of noted the pelicans can use all the bodies they can get. Adrien is proven and would have helped immensely off the bench.

The degree to which I would rather the Grizzlies have Jeff Adrien over Ryan Hollins is frightening.

ha.

I never quite understood why he isn't considered good enough. Does he get in foul trouble? I've seen pretty darn good numbers in terms of boards and very reasonable for points, given his number of minutes.

Agree. There are so many stiffs in the NBA signed to big contracts who simply don't contribute to their teams. Adrien always contributes. Always ready. He does GREAT things on the floor. One would think he would have a long career in the NBA but instead we get to watch Andreas Bargnani, James Young, assorted Serbs/Croats/Lithuanians, Henry Sims, dozens of Smiths....
