GR3 on verge of earning starting role with Pacers
May take the starting spot from Monte Ellis, who is currently injured. I know that naysayers of Beilein have been quite vocal about his guys in NBA so far flaming out. So I thought I'd throw this article out there for debate

We are still rooting for you Glenn ! Keep working hard.

Has been making some highlights plays with the Pacers.. Ant Wright on twitter does some simple stat tweets for former Michigan players and Stauskas, Hardaway and GR3 have had some excellent nights. Manny Harris is also going off in the D league.

Manny Harris is like the Westbrook of the dleague

What's really crazy is GRIII is a 40% 3 point shooter in the NBA after never shooting mid 30's in college.

Averages are affected by extremes. Could that be due to fewer minutes played?

Gotta love Larry Bird for eyeing GR3 and getting him on the cheap!

He is a Michigan career resurector. Jalen rose was doing absolutely nothing in the league before Larry really liked him and picked him up. Gave him the confidence and Jalen blew up in Indy. He sees the same potential in GR3, and has said so on numerous occassions.

Love me some Glenn Robinson. Hope he kicks ass
December 14th, 2016 at 7:17 AM ^
That's great, but how do you feel about GR3?

"Earning" and "taking" do not apply when the guy in front of you gets hurt. Good for GR3 but your title implies he did something to start over Ellis. Homers gonna homer.

By that logic, Lou Gehrig did not "earn" a starting job.
December 14th, 2016 at 10:46 AM ^
You are right!
December 14th, 2016 at 8:46 AM ^
It does when the guy comes back and you keep his job. Or are you the guys still pissed that Bledsoe isn't starting for the Pats.
December 14th, 2016 at 10:45 AM ^
lets wait until Ellis comes back then, shall we?
December 14th, 2016 at 10:00 AM ^
If he was garbage, he wouldn't be in consideration for the PT, now would he?

when did I ever say he was garbage? See, homers gonna homer...

The Pacers actually have experienced NBA vets with starting experience that they could have started over GRII. Rodney Stuckey is one of those players and CJ Miles. So I would still say he earned it.
December 14th, 2016 at 10:43 AM ^
position and is a starter by injury default. Got it.
December 14th, 2016 at 12:14 PM ^
And now might start even when Ellis is back. Don't be a dick AND be wrong.

Needed to stay another year. He's fortunate to have had this level of patience to develop. No doubt about his talent but Michigan tends to see guys leave before they're ready to impact the NBA. It's not just Glenn....the program has slipped because guys consistently leave a year before they're ready for the NBA. Caris was an outlier and Snake bitten.

The key is getting 2 full years of production out of him from this point. Livers and Poole look good as well. Definitely need more "bouncy" athletes. DJ is the only one we have currently and it shows against top competition. If you have to rely on gunning 60% from the 3 point line to compete... you don't have a competitive basketball roster.

Thank you for your very-relevant-to-this-thread post. Well done, sir.

With Ellis unavailable, head coach Nate McMillan moved Glenn Robinson III into the starting lineup against the Hornets and the two-year NBA veteran will stay in the spot for at least the next three games.I wanted to point out that two of those three games he'll start will be on TV for those of us in the Pistons broadcast area. Tonight the Pacers are on ESPN at 7pm EST, so everyone can watch. On Saturday night at 7pm EST the Pistons host the Pacers and tickets are always cheap, so you can take the game in on TV or in person.

is a bunch of homers who are horrible at reading comprehension. You guys also don't know the definition of some words, apparently...Ironic considering all the grammar nazis 'round here...

Don't you have a bridge to sit under?

GR3 being a consistent rotation player in the NBA continues to amaze me in a good way. Good luck to him.
