Not sure if that would happen in today's NBA or any of the major leagues. But Robinson had a Hall of Fame Career so it was the right decision to wait the 2 years. Crazier that the Navy put David Robinson on a submarine. He served on the USS Buffalo btw. 2 1 Quote

We don't know what the development plans and expectations were for Olofoshio when they selected him in Round 5 last year. No one knows how long or how short his rope is with the team. It seems a pretty common practice around here for Day 3 Drafted players to be led to the gallows by posters after only one season if they haven't made an immediate impact as Rookies. When it's unlikely that they will, being Day 3 Picks. I'll never forget multiple respected posters on this board calling for Khalil Shakir to be cut for Andy Isabella after his Rookie year bc "what has Shakir done to earn a roster spot?". Long story short, he could be cut. But he could just as easily be given more than one season to see if he develops. It all depends on what they're seeing with him behind the scenes.

NickelCity Posted August 20 Posted August 20 I also think he's a lock for the practice squad. Flashing repeatedly. Looking forward to seeing him in the next preseason game Quote

Looking forward to seeing him in the next preseason game I'm a sucker for a LB who likes to hit and isn't afraid to throw his body around. Jimmy seems to understand what his meal ticket is right now. Let's see if it pays off for him. 1 Quote

I don’t think any one called for Shakir to be cut. They probably said he may be cut, because when you are a nothing player as a fifth round pick, it gets progressively harder to make the team without proving anything. Which is also the case with Olofo 1 Quote

I can just as easily see a scenario where they expected he'd take a year or two of development and/or they like what they see in Practice and in Meetings. This board has zero patience for players who aren't lighting the world on fire as a Rookie. It wasn't too long ago Terrel Bernard was declared a bust after Year 1. 1 Quote

He reminds me of Buffalo Joe in just his hustle. If he makes the PS, it will be because of that high motor. He may make the PS. We’ll see. Quote
Pete Posted August 20 Author Posted August 20 (edited) 3 hours ago, That's No Moon said: He's slower than Hamlin. Yes. No he is not. Ciarlo ran a 4.56. Damar ran a 4.6. Damar is 6’1 195 Ciarlo 6’ 229 Ciarlo has an elite 3 cone score. Damar had 18 reps, Ciarlo 34 Edited August 20 by Pete Quote

This seems like it, likely a PS candidate with a chance to make the team next season. A good story and an easy guy to root for regardless. Quote
