In reply to: Pyeman WPBD 's message, "And I doubt very much sitting on the end of the bench and not playing much would be much fun" on 09:34 03/02/25 Mon

Imagine what you'd be saying to yourself year 1, if you'd turned down an NBA gig because you weren't willing to do bench time, but instead were running around in the middle of winter in the Williamstown gale in front of 142 people and slightly more seagulls.
In the unlikely event that he gets drafted, he'd probably be on a two way contract playing a heap fora G team anyway.
