Is Quinn earning big boy money yet?

[jimsumner]

About time for Amile Jefferson to show up in a real NBA game.

In my humble opinion.

Humble and correct! His numbers are incredible...

The Warriors seem committed to getting him the most money possible under a two-way contract.

[awhom111]

No Quinn of course, but Michael Gbinije had 4 points in 29 minutes as Santa Cruz lost to Texas 111-95.

Marshall missed Wisconsin's 109-103 loss to Canton as he was with the big club although neither he nor Miles got to play, denying us the chance to see them against each other.

Amile had 4 points and 9 rebounds in 34 minutes as Iowa beat Salt Lake City 112-102.

[awhom111]

Marshall continues to be with the big club. If there's one thing that the NBA needs to do for year two of two-way contracts, it is definitely having an official count of days used publicly available.

[awhom111]

Amile had 27 points and 18 rebounds in 35 minutes as Iowa beat Sioux Falls 121-116.

Matt had 4 points and 9 rebounds in 28 minutes as Reno beat Mississauga 101-96.

[awhom111]

Marshall is still with the big club. There's no official tracker of days, but they will probably get him the max before the free days kick in next week. The Warriors have done the same with Quinn. If only the Timberwolves did the same.

[awhom111]

Marshall missed another game to be with the big club.

Matt had 33 points in 41 minutes as Reno beat Salt Lake City 123-106.
http://gleague.nba.com/games/20180323/RNOSLC/

Highlights:


Amile had 23 points and 17 rebounds in 34 minutes as Iowa beat Santa Cruz 112-101. Quinn was with the big club so he avoided having to wear the special jerseys. Michael Gbinije had no choice, winding up with 12 points in 29 minutes.

Matt now heads to the playoffs while the other teams are done. Obviously, Marshall and Quinn have been with the big clubs since they have had enough days to make it through the regular season. Hopefully the Timberwolves now take the chance to get Amile into a game before the end of their season.

Quinn finishes as the league's second leading scorer and has the first 50-40-90 season in league history. He was also fifth in assists.

Amile clinched the rebounding title.

Quinn finishes as the league's second leading scorer and has the first 50-40-90 season in league history. He was also fifth in assists.

That's even more impressive considering the number of games he missed while being with the Warriors.

Hopefully the Timberwolves now take the chance to get Amile into a game before the end of their season.

Unfortunately, this is a side effect of signing with a Tom Thibodeau team. He's notorious for riding his main guys into the ground. The team's first round pick, Justin Patton, has yet to appear in an NBA game, and with the Wolves involved in a very tight playoff race, I'm not sure I see Amile getting into a game barring a crazy blowout or the team being locked into a seed before the final game. FWIW, the star-tribune reported that they expect Jefferson to be recalled with the G-league season over, but he has been up before and hasn't played

Matt had 11 points in 40 minutes as Reno had their season ended with a 126-109 loss to South Bay.
http://gleague.nba.com/games/20180403/SBLRNO/

That ends Matt's first professional season. In theory, he could sign overseas with a team that needs a short term player, but this is probably it. Now it will be about finding a summer destination to audition for next season.

Award time:

Quinn was named to the First Team and probably would have gotten closer to winning MVP if he played more games.

Amile was Second Team, All-Rookie Team, and All-Defensive Team.

Here is the other big news:
http://gleague.nba.com/news/nba-g-le...8-2019-season/

Salary tiers have been eliminated so I guess there's no salary cap anymore. The full season base pay is now $35,000. The league seems to be stepping up its PR efforts too.
