[cuseattle]

Watch the Buddy video...En fuego!!

Great highlights. I liked the Josh Pace push shot floater coming down the lane. He's been working.

That’s one of the quickest shots I’ve ever seen.

 

[Ragman2000]

The quickness with which he gets his shot off now is unbelievable. Wow.

That’s one of the quickest shots I’ve ever seen.

I know these guys are professonals and getting paid but no one is in the stands

 

[rrlbees]

Wow. Buddy had 38 tonight with 8 rebs, 3 assts and 3 steals. Shot 13/23 including 7/12 on 3’s.

Yet the Pistons can't find a use for him

Complete joke there is a rule blocking him from signing with the Pistons but not everyone else. What a pathetic organization to not give him a second 2 way deal and then go be the worst team in the league.

Why can’t they sign him? That’s ridiculous.

What rule is that? The Pistons currently don't have any 2-way contracts available to offer, but I'm unaware of any rule that would prevent them from signing Buddy to a 10-day or full NBA contract.

There's a video on Twitter. Let me see if I can link it. He was ridiculously hot!

His release is ridiculous.

 

[IthacaMatt]

His release is ridiculous.

I was impressed by the improvements in his driving game. That second basket, where he goes between 2 defenders, drives and then goes up-and-under with his *left hand* to avoid the attempted block with a reverse lay-in.

Kid is maximizing his God given abilities.

Can never say he didn’t work hard enough.

We lost Buddy, JoeG and Cole for their 5th years and they were all criticized enough while here when actually it was the absence of a point guard and a versatile forward that we lacked. We certainly didn’t lack great shooters. I can understand trying to groom JoeG’s point guard skills if he wanted a chance in the NBA but we needed a true point guard to even help tutor him to use him as a backup at times if that was the plan. Just an uninformed opinion by an uninformed person.

Any NBA Team can sign Buddy Boeheim to a 10 day, one of their 2-ways (if a spot is open), or an NBA contract. His contract is with the Motor City not Detroit. As far as I know there is no rule saying the can't sign with Detroit. but maybe I am missing something.

Despite the recent good games his stats for the year are just decent / fairly good by G-League Standards. There are a lot of potential NBA bottom of the roster level guys hanging around the G-League

The good thing for Buddy (or any G-Leaguer) is from now to the end of the season when "injuries" get stretched out, more 10-days are offered. But getting those spots can be competitive.

 

[rrlbees]

Buddy went for 24 pts and 10 rebs today.

 

[CousCuse]

Can a player come back to "college" now if he has eligibility? "College" players are paid, is there a difference?

So what does that mean? NBA contracts confuse me.

Each NBA roster can have two young players on two-way contracts, which means they can have those players play for both the NBA team and the affiliated g-league team. So Buddy will get to develop in the g-league and also get some real NBA minutes when called up for certain games.

Is he allowed to shave now?

 

[Cheriehoop]

Good for him, he’s worked hard for it. Hope that Cole, Elijah do well too.

This reminds me I've been meaning to ask: what's with our guys having that heinous chin hair patch? I feel like for several years 75% of our guys have had that same little patch.
