Buddy with 1 point in 6 mins last night.

Buddy with 1 point in 6 mins last night.

I watched part of the game but missed the free throw. How did he get one free throw attempt (which he made) with no made field goals? Maybe I am having another brain fart but I couldn’t figure out what type of play ended up with him being 1 for 1 from the free throw line with no made field goal. Am I crazy questioning this stat? (You won’t hurt nor shock me if you say I’m nuts or just stupid). Thanks.

Isn’t there like a 1 free throw bonus in the NBA?

There was a technical foul and Buddy took the FT.

Ok that makes sense. Thank you!!

 

[jncuse]

One other possibility I thought of that could cause that (although this case was a T)

What if one of your own teammates stepped in the lane during the FT attempt voiding the shot. Does that count as an attempt/miss? I would assume not.

OKC has so many guys - tough to get run. What kind of deal is Buddy in line for?

My guess is that he chose the potential G-League team that would fit best for him system wise / roster wise / development and give him the best chance of getting back to the NBA via a 10-day or future contracts.

If we are being real, he has almost no chance at an NBA contract or 2-way this offseason. Teams are going to go younger for 2-way prospects (not players in the 3rd year out of college)

So strategically he probably chose the G-League team that worked best for him, knowing that he can be signed by any team in the NBA out of the G-League.

Buddy plays at 7 tonight on NBA TV.

Buddy played 9 mins and was 0-3 from 3.

Buddy only played 4 mins tonight and was 0-2 from 3.

Minutes are dwindling, time to get those big checks in Europe, maybe he can play close to his brother.

Playing hoops in Europe with your brother and parents travelling around here and there has to be a dream.

He just has a training camp deal with OKC, easy to get cut

I think players dream about playing in the nba.

I think players dream about playing in the nba.

Like Fran Fraschilla says, the NBA is an exclusive, elite club for the best of the best in the world. A lot of good players will never make it or even come close. That is why Europe, Asia and other places are teeming with ex-college players from the U.S.

And once the dream is over time to pivot.

He played in the NBA, you want him to play 20 minutes in the G League for peanuts waiting for an opportunity that isn't going to happen?

how much do G-League players make? I wonder if it's comparable to Triple A in MLB?

I know they bumped it up in the G league but I'd guess Jimmy made more last year than the average G league guy.

Didn't baseball raise their wages among a bunch of other things recently too?

I looked it up quick and some website said $34,500 for G-League and $45,000 for Triple A were the maximum salaries. I don't how accurate, reliable or up-to-date the website was.
