He seems to be doing well, but they sure are limiting his minutes. I'd love to see him make it, but it's going to be tough.
When he was drafted by Memphis, his role was to be the next Zack Randolph. Rebounder and scorer off the rim.
I thought that his playing time would increase slowly, but he only lasted a season in Memphis.
He has to show the NBA something or he will soon be out of a job. New talent comes in every off season and if he doesn't impress people, he will be yesterdays news.
The reason why he lasted only a season in Memphis was because most of the basketball people there were against Stokes (Nikola Jokic was the guy) but they got overruled by Wallace/ownership.
Reason 999,999 to fire Wallace....
In another era, Stokes would have had a good shot to have more meaningful NBA career. Doesnt have range, length, or jumping ability to be a #5 today in NBA.
6 minutes lol . I mean, seriously? If he played 20 minutes he would lead them in scoring and be top 3 rebounding. Its hard to impress if youre not given the opportunity to do so.
the reason Jarnell Stokes won't make it in the NBA is that he is the same weight as Lebron James and 1 inch shorter. We thought he was a huge dude when he was here, but the NBA is full of huge dudes who can run like deer and jump like grasshoppers. He is too slow and not enough burst.
