GR3 signs three year contract with the Pacers

Post by TeamRicky [enjin:6648771] »

Good signing for the Pacers. They are pretty good at developing players and I think GR3 will have a good opportunity to become a decent rotational player in time. I wish we had a DLeague as I think he's the type of guy that you try to develop. Anyway, good luck to GR3.

I watched him in one SL game this year and he looked better than last year in SL by quite a bit. The Pacers are probably a really good landing spot for him based on the type of style of play they plan to play. Good luck to him.

Good for GR3. I hope it works out for him. He has to be excited to be reunited with Budinger.

I would have rather taken a flyer on Christian Woods. He would have been someone I would have used a second rounder on.

I was unhappy when we let GR3 go. I really liked his athleticism and his unselfish attitude. I wish we would have dumped AB a year ago instead of GR3, but oh well.

He wasn't gonna play over Wiggins and Bazz.

Given Bazz's injury history though he was a cheap, young 3rd option who we could keep at the end of the bench and fill in when Bazz got hurt. I wish we could have dumped Bud sooner to clear the space for him. I would rather have GR3 over Prince right now.

Neal and Hummel should have been gone before him since Flip said they decided to rebuild. It made no sense to play the other guys since they were not part of the plan.

GR3 is raw but has the tools. He still needs playing time to develop so I certainly would expect that this year he'd be behind Bazz. I wish we had him in the DLeague last year. But down the road, he certainly has a chance to be better than Bazz or be a better jigsaw puzzle fit for the team. He'd also be a cheaper option.

I was a fan of picking GR3 and would have liked to hold onto him but he wasn't getting any shot at getting onto the floor last year which had to mean they weren't liking what they were seeing to a certain extent even with the wing depth they had which was a ton ti they started dealing guys and had more injuries. GR3 had all the theoretical talent but he had the unselfish mindset of a role player and didn't have the length you would have expected. I am not sure what role he would have had here if we had kept him. It's kinda crowded the way it is. I'll be interested to see if he turns out to be worthwhile or not.
