Michigan '13 NBA Reunion

Isn't McGary like a semi professional bowler now? It's sad, I thought he had the potential to be the best pro from that group

mitch was like a 22 year old frosh. he peaked in that tourney run

I wonder what would have happened had he remained healthy. When he was on the court, he played pretty well initially. Constant injuries buried him on the depth chart, then he got suspended for violating the NBA's drug policy a couple times...boom out of the league.

I think the drug test failures did him in. Don’t get me wrong, I smoke everyday yet still maintain my life well and handle my business. But if you’re an nba GM, and you’re looking for an undersized center who can’t stretch the floor to nba 3 point range, you’re probably gonna go with the guys without the drug test failures. It’s not that he’s really a bust, but couple the drug test failures and the injury issues, not many teams are willing to give guaranteed contracts on a guy who might not even get to play for u if he gets hurt or fails another one. Like I said earlier I’m the last person who would say “weed is the devil!” lol, but yeah the combo of the tests and injuries sullied his rep around the league quite a bit. I have no clue what he’s doing with his life now, but if he played well overseas for a year or 2 he’d get another legit shot. Hope it works out for him

The best out of that bunch and what-in-the-world made you think that?
January 16th, 2018 at 12:48 AM ^
Idk, I thought he could've played PF in the pros. Had high energy, could shoot a little, good distributor, could run the floor. Just seemed like he would have been able to take advantage of some players who couldn't match his energy. Was way wrong about that

McGary was surprisingly good for OKC for a stretch during his rookie year iirc, but then like at UM failed a drug test while injured.

Knicks fans seated next to us were excited to see Trey join the team. He spent a good amount of his time on the bench seated next to Hardaway. Whenever Trey made a play Hardaway was the first one up from the bench cheering. At one point Trey was guarding Caris and Nik was covering the 2.
The game ended with the three of them on the court. They gathered together and spoke briefly. Hardaway was still at the Knicks bench and missed it. Good to see them together though.

"The numbers don’t tell the story of Burke’s outing. He made his first shot, notched five points in eight minutes with two assists. But he penetrated in all the nooks and crannies, pushed the pace and had the offense humming when he oversaw the Knicks’ lead climb from three to 11 points in a matter of three minutes."

THJ was out because he's coming back from an injury so they're being cautious with his minutes, not "because NBA".
January 16th, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
I meant not injured, held out as a precaution. In his situation, 2nd of a back-to-back, just returned this week, the DNP is more understandable than most.

In school. His career would of looked so much different and better for that matter w a degree.
January 16th, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
Not sure who you’re talking about but it doesn’t matter cause you’re wrong. Two of them were lotto picks coming off PoY seasons and the other 2 were also first round picks and are actually the better pros than the lotto guys. They can all get a degree whenever they want
January 16th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
Did you read the OP? He said THJ sat "because NBA". He's actually being brought back from an injury. It's normal for teams to rest guys coming back from significant time off, especially on back-to-back games. THJ played 33 minutes in an OT loss to the Pelicans the day before. That's why he sat.
