Here are a few things folks might not be aware of:

Keon Ellis has been starting for the Kings
Clowney has been getting minutes with Brooklyn
Kira Lewis Jr was traded and is getting sporadic minutes with Utah.
Bediako is back with the Spurs G League team and is occasionally getting minutes.
Reese plays for Rip City in the G League. That's the Portland affiliate
Shackelford plays for the Oklahoma G League team.
Primo starts for the Clippers G League team.
Petty appears to be out of basketball.

JD Davison on the Celtics roster. Braxton Key on the Nuggets roster. Herb and Miller of course.

eta. Bediako has a torn meniscus and was waived by the Spurs in December. Haven’t seen any news since.he’s still on the g league roster though.

On Miller, Herb, and JD, I figured folks knew about them.

On Bediako, that's why I said he was back with the Spurs G League team and getting minutes. He's been back for a week or two.

Anybody keeping up w/ Sexton?

A couple years ago it looked like he was on the cusp of being a major superstar w/ Cleveland.

I played NBA2K19 all the time back then and nuked teams with him....lol

Looks like he had a bad injury and missed a season and is now with Utah and putting up career low scoring numbers off the bench.

Has his ability diminished or is he more of a sixth man now or just still recovering?

I just don't keep up with the NBA like I use to.

his scoring on a Per basis is the best of his career. 18.8 ppg on 26.6 minutes per game. He's 5th on the team in minutes per game, and he's a starter. I think the Jazz have some depth at guard so he doesn't have to tote the load like before. Also, I think his defense has improved.

Oh okay cool that’s good to hear.

I checked his Sports reference page and they only had him starting like 15 games this year so I thought he was coming off the bench.

He was carrying a ton of dead weight a few years ago.

On NBA2K19 I had to score like 50ppg with him to win …lol

You’re right. For some reason when I looked on my PC earlier the last year that showed was 22-23 and I didn’t notice.

Now on my phone and 23-24 shows up.

Weird.

But anyway I’m glad he recovered from his injury and is in a better situation w/ Utah.

Josh Primo is the guy that I really think should have stayed at least another year.

If the goal is the NBA why go so early that you have to play in the g league?

Cause someone with a personal agenda convinced them it was in the players best interest when they were trying to look out for themselves.

PS, Primo did play for the Spurs some as a rookie. He bounced between Spurs and GLeauge....just like Clowney has done this year.
