Jalen Adams, NBA prospect

[Matrim55]

I've been watching a bunch of the G-League games and he's been very, very good. He was really good last year as well, and it's starting to get him noticed:



He always had clear NBA potential. Just wish he'd been born five years later and could've spent his time in Storrs under the current coach.

I'll always be rooting for Jalen.

 

[Marat]

I'm rooting for him to get called up. I think he could definately spend some at the next level.

He's certainly better than the guards at the end of Boston's bench.

Hope he gets a call up.

Was just saying the other day that Boston could use him. What is there to lose with giving him some of Teague or Edwards’ minutes?

Brad loves Teague, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for him to be shown the door. I do think that both Edwards and Waters (who's on a two-way contract) will be gone after this season, and to be honest Jalen's a better fit than either b/c of his size and length.

Both of those guys have been significant net negatives on both sides of the ball in the NBA. Jalen has good size for a PG and could probably even defend up against some SGs because he's got a 6-foot-7 wingspan.

I would watch and root for any team that signs Jalen on League Pass for as long as they have him. Dude deserves a shot.

Another team that could use a scoring PG is the Orlando Magic, who once gave Rodney Purvis significant NBA minutes. Their guard rotation has been decimated with the injuries to Fultz and Cole Anthony. We all know Jalen Adams can hit big shots in that arena too...

 

[Ratso]

his shot has matured. he’s def a solid nba backup guard )

 

[navery12]

I'd take him on the Knicks and give him all of Elfrid Payton's minutes in a heartbeat

 

[Palatine]

I watched him play in the g-league the other day. He looked great. But the g-league is a sloppy, high scoring mess. Hard to tell someone talents from that hot garbage. All the best to Jalen, love to see him get called up.

Still only hitting 32% from 3. He could get a look, but NBA GMs aren't rushing to bring up guards making less than 35% from 3.

One of my favorite all time UConn players and definitely one of the more talented guards to have played here.. I would have LOVED to see him in the Calhoun or Hurley era.. really felt like he was done a disservice with the incompetence around him his last few years here

Can you give us a link on that? I just checked on this the other day and he was hitting 39%. Did he go 0 for 50 last few games?

This is what I see.

Looks like he was 0-8 over the last 2 games, but tonight went 3-6.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The dude could get a bucket more easily than almost any UConn player I’ve ever seen

 

[Ratso]

boatright sez no fukn chance

 

[methodology]

He had an nba type game at UConn always felt he would get a chance and could stick as at least a back up. Hope he seizes the opportunity

 

[Palatine]

At UConn he had a weak left hand and his handle needed work. I sincerely hope he is working on both. When I watched him I really didn't notice if they had improved.

That'll do it, especially when you only played 8 games before your 0 for 8.
