Buddy Boeheim: Thunder G League

[Dick_in_MI]

Buddy got brought up to the Pistons today. Played the last 3:30 of the game and scored 6 points. Was 1/2 from 3 and 3/3 from the foul line.

Crap! I get the Pistons games on my cable system and didn't see this. Will have to be more attentive.

That’s awesome. Of all the players we’ve had over the past several years, to have buddy freaking Boeheim be one of the very few getting NBA minutes is incredible. Dude is an inspiration.

Buddy got in the last 3 mins tonight for the Pistons. Missed his only shot.

Buddy playing in the 2nd for Detroit right now. They are getting killed by the Pels per usual. But cool that he’s getting mins

He has 8 in 12 minutes so far!

 

[dasher]

He also has 3 rebounds in those 12 minutes. He is like another Rodman.

He’s a better rebounder than Chris Bell unfortunately.

But that should give you hope!

Because Buddy was an atrocious rebounder, even for a guard.

 

[rrlbees]

3/6 from 3 with 3 rebs 3 asts so far.

 

[rrlbees]

All career highs. 22 mins, 13 pts, 3 rebs, 3 asts, 0 tos. Shot 4/8, 3/7 from 3, 2/2 FT. Only player of the 10 that played with a positive +/-.

There are a number of guys in the league who have made a ton of money doing what Buddy is trying to do like Hauser, Huerter, Korver, and Duncan Robinson, to name a few. Buddy might not be as athletic as those guys, but he certainly has shown some things this year in the G league. As importantly, nobody will outwork the kid, and he has a terrific attitude which are major factors in staying in the league at the end of a bench.

Korver is in a bit of a class of his own in that group. He played 17(!) seasons in the league, made an all-star game, and is 6th all-time in 3 pointers made in NBA history.

Not a guard but, best video ever.

He had the fastest release I've ever seen in person

My wife says I hold that record. I’m her Superman, faster than a speeding bullet is how she describes it.

 

[rrlbees]

Buddy just entered the game in the 2Q vs the Knicks and hits his first 3 attempt

 

[Jake]

His release is ridiculous. If he had just a little quicker footspeed…

 

[rrlbees]

Played 9 mins in the 1st half. Shot 1/3 for 3 points and added 3 rebs.

 

[rrlbees]

Buddy’s back in. For those in the NY area you can see the game on MSG.

 

[rrlbees]

2nd half stats were almost identical. 9 mins and shot 1/3 from 3. Didn’t get 3 rens though.

 

[rrlbees]

And in better news tonight. Buddy got 10 mins for the pistons and was 1-2 from 3 for 3 pts.

For those who say that Buddy was just patrimony, LOL.
