r/NBA already counting them out. They'll be in the play-in.
I'm not counting them out completely, but not knowing their schedule over the next 9, if they're 5-20 by the time he gets back, can they go finish the season in that 36 W-21 L range with the Ja addition alone to reach that play-in minimum standing (based on last season Western Conference)?
Like some others have said, they're very lacking in big man depth. They're gonna have guys here and there miss time. Hell, they're gonna probably need to just let some of their guys rest too. They'll also have to overcome teams like GSW, NOP, LAC, maybe HOU, who will likely have a healthy lead just to make the play-in. I'm admittedly not much of a fan of the Grizz, but trying to set my bias aside, it's still hard to see that it's gonna be too easy.
I'll say this though, if Ja can singlehandedly inspire that squad to the play-in, he should get massive props from every corner of the media after all the negative press this off-season.
No lol
