Gilly in the NBA

As soon as they take Gilly out, LBJ drives right to the hoop and scores... Coincidence? I think not.
 
Watching these games, I am suprised teams aren't trying to exploit Gilyard's size on offense. Maybe they don't need to because the Grizzly's defense is really bad anyway.
 
It's definitely helping Gilly's shot at an NBA career to be playing behind so many injury/trouble prone guards. So happy to see him making the most of this opportunity.
 
Thanks!

The other “steal” is also there. Which was him at halfcourt catching a desperation, falling out of bounds heave by LAL. Not exactly a theft.
 
And here was the one where Gilly was trying to interfere on a fast break and LeBron threw a bad pass:

 
NBA website has all these plays - pretty cool. On the box score you can click on any stat and it shows the video that led to that stat.

Pretty wild to see the play where he was credited with a turnover though...

 
Yeah, unless Gilly slathered that ball in butter first, that one's on Ziarie.

Hit him in the hands that were directly in front of his chest! Plenty of time on shot clock. Maybe they ruled Lebron got a fingertip on the pass. tho it looked he missed it and just distracted him.
 
Reminds me of a super bowl prop I once lost bc a WR dove for a terrible pass and bc he got a fingertip on it, was credited with a drop. Illogical scoring mechanisms.

No wonder guys don’t try the halfcourt shots at end of quarters when stats rigidity rules the day.
 
Desperation shots don't count as FGA attempts in NCAA (unless they go in), but yeah, that's not the case in NBA.

I'm not sure about the turnover rule in the NBA.
 
In addition to still being 7th in the league in A/TO ratio after that TO he was charged with that clearly wasn't his fault, Gilly is also 10th in 3PT% at 48.0%. He's 17 spots ahead of Steph.

Qualification is based on one make for every team game, and he is 12-for-25 through 11 Grizzlies games. (He has played in 8.)

 
He'll need to average almost 2 per game (1.79/game to be precise) in next 39 games to qualify for the season since he is limited to 50 games on the NBA roster.
 
Memphis has some real roster decisions to make. Biyimbo is needed bc Adams is done. It would be a good move to move Adams in a trade, his contract expires after next season and zero guarantee he’ll be back in form next year after such a huge layoff.

Memphis is basically toast with the competitiveness of f the West, their ceiling is prob road team in a play in round. Brutal schedule upcoming too.

Point of this post is that while I’d love Gilly to get a full contract the shape Memphis roster is in hamstrings them at present.
 
Rose listed as questionable on NBA injury report so as of now Gilly not included in player props. Vegas obviously will know and adjust as the day goes on and Memphis makes a further update.

The new ESPNBet app does it seem have Gilly props … Not seeing on BetMGM however
 
Looks like the grizzlies have decided to go big for most of the game to try to stop the spurs. Seems to be working, but it has left Gilyard on the bench for most of the 2nd quarter and all of the 2nd half so far.
 
Yeah, the Grizz were getting destroyed with the Spurs' size and racking up fouls all over the place. Gilly had a quick 3 fouls in his 12 minutes. Swapping in Aldama to start the second helped, and the Grizz have turned a 19-point deficit into an 11-point lead.

Rose came off the bench, but he's only played 14 minutes as the Grizz have gone without a real point guard for significant stretches.
 
makes sense, I was sporadically following the pbp online and early on it did not seem to be going well for Memphis. Sochan plays point for SAS and he's 6'8" and is a guy who posts up, so not exactly a great fit for Memphis to go small. Gilly did go 1-2 from 3 and did not turn the ball over. Glad Gilly got another win tho, take em all no matter how many minutes played.
 
Rose is sitting out tonight, but the Grizz are again going bigger against the Celtics, so Gilly isn't starting.

Earlier today he was at the Hustle game to watch. (Cayo didn't play for the second straight game.)

 
Tight game coming down the stretch. Still just the one triple for Gilly, but he's up to 5 dimes and 2 steals.

Ha, that's pretty bad, but he was owed one from the Lakers game, so I guess it all evens out. Who was that meatball he fed for the dunk??
