Judah Mintz: Manisa Basket in Turkey

Some impressive stuff there. He’s both the same and also a more evolved player from when we had him. Looks stronger. He doesn’t fall down anymore. He’s got all the one-on-one moves. Still gets almost all of his points in the paint. A lot of stuff on the break. Can’t believe it has only been a year….
 
I don't know if he'll ever have a reliable jumper but that is probably the main thing holding his ability to get some run in the NBA.

I guess developing a high percentage mid-range jumper would be helpful to make up for the lack of a consistent 3 point shot. Embiid is playing hurt and should be shut down for the rest of the year to get started on the knee surgery that he needs to get back to form. He recently said he lacks confidence and not himself playing on the hurt knee. If he gets shutdown, the Sixers are going nowhere. This would be a good opportunity for Judah and other productive players on the Blue Coats to get a call up for a look.

Yea he’s only shooting 27% from 3.
 
JB's Army is returning and looking to go Orange. We have some great G league players. The new upright Mintz would be a great addition. If he could extend his range he would be with the big boys. So near yet so far.

These games aren't doing much for him. Day and night I would hire an army to fix my shooting and train it in game like situations

Second in the g League in points is impressive but no NBA team wants that from him

What are he and his team around him trying to accomplish?
 
he's been on a tear - with McCain out who have the sixers been running with Grimes and Maxsey?
 
Embiid is out for the remainder of the season. The team is going nowhere. There are rumors of Maxey wanting to bail, even though he signed an extension last year, and Stephen A. Smith is speculating that Embiid’s knee is in bad shape that surgery might not be enough and he should consider retiring. Now is a great time for the Sixers to bring up Judah and any other player performing well on their G League team being that the franchise looks to be starting from scratch. They also have a protected first round pick (6th) which they should make every effort to keep.

I’m surprised Embiid got as much mileage off his body as he has.
Injured as rookie and never got any healthier.
 
I don't think many would say Mintz wasn't a special talent while wearing orange. I think most, including myself, were just frustrated that he didn't do some things different because he was so gifted. He seems like he could have been a high level defender had he chosen. He could have also included others more - as a PG he should have. That all said, hopefully he will continue to improve and make it on a team.

I know nothing about the G league, maybe someone can help me understand the scoring system.

In college basketball a stat line of 14-18 FGs, 1-1 3PFGs, 10-12 FTs would mean that player scored 39 total points. Why does it equal 45 in the G league?
Expand...
A stat line of 14 -18 FG = 28 PTS, 1-1 3PFG = 3 PTS, 10 - 12 FT = 10 PTS = 41 PTS so he must have had what stated below:

One Free-Throw Rule: One free throw worth one, two or three points will be awarded in the event of any foul that would typically result in one, two or three free throws being shot under standard NBA rules; will not apply during the last two minutes of the fourth quarter or the entirety of any overtime period.
 
I'll try and get a better pic but here he is at Jazz Summer League.

Not a great first q, but his game has matured a lot. He's put the work in the weight room, looks a lot stronger, and he's doing a really good job looking for and setting up his teammates. Has an assist but missed on some others because his teammates missed the buckets. Got fouled near the end of the half and made 1 of 2, then was part of a good half court trap and got a layup to end the 1st q. He did have a turnover in traffic and air balled a three on the negative side.

3rd qtr he made some good plays that won’t show up in box score. Took a charge and forced a turnover. Also hit all his fts
