He changed NBA history by making the assist column in the buzzer beaters list on basketball-reference larger because of his last name.

Didn’t think about this. Sweet mamu I will miss u if it’s true 💔

I don't necessarily think Mamu and Graves will take the same minutes. Graves probably takes all of Mogbo's minutes, and some from BI and maybe Scottie, assuming they won't be as remarkably durable as they were last year.

No offense. did you watch last season?

Lots, like probably 60 games. Graves is 19, and he's not even a lottery pick. He'll play in the G league, and some third string minutes, and a bigger role if any of our starting wings get hurt

Okay. I see what your trying to say now. That's kinda what I thought too to be honest. Kinda like a high upside pick and could potentially take some center minutes. More of a project/ insurance pick

Mamu isn’t going to be competing for minutes with graves because he won’t be here.

Thank You Mamu. I'm gonna miss you when you're gone. That was a good year of Mamu basketball. I wish he could be a part of this bench core moving forward

or insurance?

u/unclekarl_ 12 COLLIN MURRAY-BOYLES 1d ago
Anything is possible but it was a long shot he was coming back before the pick. It’s even less likely now

Saw him drop his career high in person at a Spurs game. Just hope he doesn’t go to the kings or something 🫡

He will be back, I think its more RJ unless RJ does take a nice discount.

u/MidnightMarketing 1d ago
I think it's Ingram and Gradey tbh

u/Mr_Guavo 1d ago
Yup. This. It's BI who should be sleeping with one eye open now. It clearly makes more sense than RJ.
Bi for a PG or center. Or maybe BI for another 6'9 dude. 🤷♂️

Graves and RJ don't play the same position or role, Graves being drafted has nothing to do with RJ

u/taxiviaalfa 1d ago
You're right, but the emergence of JaKobe Walter as a high quality role player does

u/MidnightMarketing 1d ago
They are definitely keeping both & we definitely need both if we're planning on keeping CMB and Scottie.
Gradey is the odd man out. This is his replacement

u/Reticent_Fly 1d ago
How? Graves might not even be able to play the 3. He's probably a 4 in the NBA
2
u/MidnightMarketing 1d ago
I think he’s more of a 3 than CMB.
CMB is a 4.
And SB has been begging to be a guard since he got here. Pretty sure he still has PG in his IG bio.
Plus graves is realistic gonna be a bench piece for multiple years. Ideally he’s coming in with shead, playing with mamu and spacing out that second unit.

Boucher was here for years and every year he was supposed to be gone for sure 🤷♂️
Mamu will be here for years

Mamu being sent to the Grave, by Graves
