Ayo did get some more playing time tonight but it was more due to Caruso being out with a toe injury.

c. The league expands and he gets picked up by the new Sonics team
Man... Really just don't undestand why Ayo isn't playing either.

Again. He only get expanded minutes tonight because Caruso was out. If Caruso was healthy, he doesn't see the court anywhere near as much.
I get it, but you still haven’t given a reason why! He’s hooping. He’s outplaying the other guards objectively.
Did you watch any of tonight's game or are you just reacting to the statistics?
He was terrific yesterday against Detroit. Huge part of their big 2nd quarter run. Excellent on both sides. Not sure what you're getting at.
I apologize for our over reaction to his 6/7 shooting and his consistent 55% FG percentage over the course of his career. In addition to his consistent effort and hard core defense.
Brandin Podziemski had 8 points in 1 minute, 16 seconds of garbage time in a game for the Warriors against Minnesota. That's not a typo.
He’s going off right now
Certainly seems like a talented NBA contributor. Crazy to think that the scouting on him just a year prior to Santa Clara was that he was getting burned on the defensive end daily and not going to be an offensive contributor. Either the Illinois scouts/inside info was way off or he had one hell of a legendary off season.

The Chicago Bulls are a mess. Again. Like most years since The GOAT left town.
In other news, the Chicago Bears are a mess. The Chicago White Sox are a mess. The Chicago Blackhawks have been a mess but are now becoming less of one.
Looks like Chicago has a lot of messes to clean up.
Right now, the Bulls are a terrible mix of players that don’t fit together. Time to book some flights for some guys out of town.
Just give the ball and minutes to Ayo and at least Bulls and Illini fans will have something worth watching.

Just wanted to bring this back up after actually seeing some of those courts the other night

Ayo's going to have ample opportunity for big minutes relatively soon.
Things went way, way south when Ball got hurt (more like got hurt worse...he was damaged goods when AK acquired him). AK should have thrown in the towel during the offseason, if not earlier. Gonna take a long time to dig out of this one.

I've watched a few highlights. He's got impressive court awareness. I think this one is going to sting for awhile. (and yes, I understand that many don't really care)Just when you thought the Podz posts were done:

Oh, it certainly did sting. He really took off.

Man, it would have been really awesome if he had done the same things at Illinois as he did at Santa Clara and the NBA, so far.
From a pure basketball perspective I love to see guys who catch fire and maximize their talent. Because more guys actually don't.
For Podz... while it would have been fantastic if his game had quickly developed for The Beloved... chances are it wouldn't have had he stayed. He needed new scenery and picked a perfect situation for his game to grow.
It also would have been nice to develop more of the Illini Wisconsin Pipeline had he succeeded in Orange... but maybe one of these days.

It’s crazy that Podz could get up being a better NBA player than Ayo & TSJ. How is that a thing?

Grit determination and very poor judgement on Brads part.

Or Podz heard a fair critique of his play at Illinois, heard he wouldn't be getting playing time, and decided to try his hand elsewhere while addressing the criticism and it paid off.
There doesn't need to be a bad guy here
