I know nothing about the NBA. How good is this for his chances to be on an actual NBA roster for the long term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he should have an opportunity to prove himself over the final stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good is this for his chances to be on an actual NBA roster for the long term? IMO the most likely scenario is he finishes the season with the Blazers (who are tanking) then they waive him because the second year is non-guaranteed. That said, he profiles as a 3 and D wing and NBA teams are always looking for someone to fill that role on the cheap. While he's playing with G-Leaguers on a tanking team, they beat a playoff team in his first game and gave another playoff team a run for their money in game 2. He is playing against legitimate NBA players and he's been active on defense with the 3 steals and 2 blocks (I also thought he had a block in the first game that he's not credited for). He's only 1-4 from 3, but he shot over 40% from 3 in the G League. Basically he's a 24 year old undrafted rookie, I don't think any team is going to commit much to develop him, but he's getting his shot to be somebody's cheap roster filler next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may end up in Europe for better money, but still pretty cool experience for his the next several weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But solid stat line with 16 pts on 8/10 plus 4 assists & 4 boards. Pretty solid start to his career thru 3 games, shooting 13/22 (59%) and 9.0 ppg. Making the highlight reels too.

MuchMany Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 He's going to stick on a contender's bench next year. Keep going Nate Will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird96 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Another start and another solid game for Jeenathan today as the Blazers lost. Shot 4/5 including 1/1 from 3 for 9 pts in 21 minutes. Shooting 17/27 (63%) in his 4 games with 9.0 ppg. Final game tomorrow vs Golden State, let’s see if he can go for 14+ and get that scoring average into double digits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird96 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Well, Blazers got destroyed but Jeenathan set a new career high with 17 on 7/12 shooting including 1/2 from 3. Finishes the year 24/39 (61.5%) and 10.6 ppg. See where it leads to next year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter, he performed well in his opportunity. Hope he catches on an NBA roster and continues to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
