How many minutes do you really think Little is going to get next year ?
Yeah, more than Hoard, in whatever league for that team.
That's a problem for Hoard.

So, for the brief moment in between when he went undrafted and signed with Portland, Hoard could have come back to Wake, correct? Are any other undrafted players coming back to school?
the day after defending MKG...
Bilas on Cam Reddish: "He's only 18, 19 years old."
He turns 20 in September.
I kind of get it as a high ceiling pick especially if they feel like the bigs there are a reach.
......Bye Hoard, not going to miss you/enjoy the G league....He goes from "lottery pick" on NBA draft.net for like 14 months, to undrafted. Great.
Also, now the Blazers can put Nassir Little in at SF ahead of Hoard, and slide Aminu and Harkless down to the smallish/undersized PF roles that fit them both.
Dutch can't hold his jealousy of someone being young and successful.
Says the old gambler.....No, Dutch is fed up with the present trend in college basketball, and has a strong dislike for the NBA.

So I see that NC State commit and guy that bounced between class of 2018 and 2019 Jalen Lecque did not get drafted, but the Suns actually signed him to a contract. It seems that he has had a very odd path, given that he played for several high schools, seemed to bop between high school classes, was headed to State, and then blew off college all together. I have heard that he is a really good athlete but has pretty limited b-ball skills. It will be interesting to see if he can stick in the NBA.
It’s pretty pathetic but predictable that Manning is celebrating hoard signing a two way contract. The draft was not a good night for hoard. In fact it was a really bad night and the only thing that kept it from being an absolute shitshow for hoard is the two way deal he signed. The odds are long that he ever plays in a single nba game and even longer that he ever stays on a roster for a whole season and Manning is trying to use that as cause for celebration and a way to pump up his coaching resume. The only thing I take from it is 3 guys leaving early and none of them even getting drafted in the 2nd round. Wake’s first splash in the one and done pool is a complete failure in every respect . Wfu sucked with hoard on roster, hoard barely developed at all, Manning gets zero recruiting boost and is even in a worse position now, and the kid goes undrafted. Just a failure all the way around.
So 19 guys listed by Rothstein and Hoard can't even make that list. So unfortunate
Supposedly got a 4 year contract with first two years paying like $875k a year. One of the stranger contracts I’ve seen for an undrafted guy, but it’s the Suns and it’s pretty obvious they don’t know what they are doing. Good for JL though, he never wanted to go to college.
I think more and more teams are offering contracts like this for 2-way players. It is cheap for teams, most of them are like one year guaranteed deals with tons of incentives
But like you said it’s the Suns so...
Hoard had a good season. It would have looked better on a better team. He was set up to have a very good soph year. The things he needed to work on would improve organically w experience and strength.
I get being annoyed w the kid, but he probably makes a different decision w a fun program to come back to. Not only do we suck. We're not fun.
