So he'll work out for the two teams picking between us and won't work out for us because he doesn't think he will fall that far? That doesn't make sense man

Because that's not what I said. I said just because he doesn't work out with us that doesn't mean he's automatically off our board.

I referenced Vonleh's situation as an example which was different from Stanley who obviously sees that he might not get an opportunity here with all our wings in tow already.

I think Vonleh didn't work out because he thought he would not fall that far. Johnson knows he will (since he worked out for the Heat) he just doesn't want to come here. So screw him.

I never understood this. Why burn a bridge? Hypothetically, what if Detroit and Miami decide to go a different direction?

Says a lot about him in my opinion. I don't think some of these players understand what competition means. He doesn't have to workout for us. It only made sense if he was going to go top 5 but the possibility of him going after 9th overall is likely. In my opinion he is scared of a challenge and we don't need players like that on our team. The greatest player ever is our team owner and Jordan was never scared of a challenge. So we shouldn't take players that are in my honest opinion. Don't get me wrong I like Stanley I hope he becomes a great player but it's just sad to hear things like this that's all.

The issue with us is that he's going to be stuck behind MKG, and perhaps after seeing how Vonleh was marginalised last season, he might not want to come to a team that is not going to start him and give him a lot of minutes?

I agree that he shouldn't burn bridges, but some players want to try and control where they go, and I'm not surprised if Johnson doesn't want to come here. And to be honest, I think our sights should be set on a SG like Hezonja or Booker, or a big like Turner or Cauley Stein.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
