PJ Hairston Appreciation Thread

This is what happens when you stay out of trouble. You earn your third Rookie of the Day Honor.

Hairston is averaging 17.2 PPG through five games, and was huge in the last two tournament games. Boy is impressing me so far!

His percentages have been pretty abysmal.

Its the SL so I wouldnt read to much into it.

SL or not, he's showing a lot of comfortability shooting the ball with range. Either you have it or you don't. And, Hairston does.

Never have I seen Hendo played this kind of basketball before.

Yea but everyone knew before the draft PJ had range and no issues letting it fire. 

 

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that has heard of PJ Hairston before.

 

Dude is legit.

He definitely has the stroke.

 

But if his shot selectionand decision making does not improve, his minutes in a Clifford offense will be drastically reduced.

 

Summer League. 

 

Nothing more than a glorified pickup game. 

 

Bad shot selection is the norm in such an event. 

 

I wouldnt read a whole lot into anything that transpires these 2 weeks.

The whole shot selection thing is overblown. When he is integrated into a actual veteran NBA roster it would not be like this, he will be given a role and told to follow it. Right now he is playing with guys fresh out of college and for his team are pretty terrible, you got to take the initiation to be the main scorer.

Exactly. Give credit to where it's due.

Hairston could be something great for this franchise. I think he's a legit 6th man this year. He could be Harden2.0 in his third year.

He's showing that nothing is too big for him. I love it.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
