Naji was a great individual player. I liked watching him play because if you just watched him at times he made some great plays and was going a million miles per hour. With that said, he turned it on and off and was not engaged at all times and his play also hurt his team. There were a lot of times that he would start doing his thing and everyone just watched because they knew they were not getting the ball, Naji ball. All year if felt like something was missing and I think what was missing was a team playing as one. Playing for each other. I think there were a couple of guys that just played for themselves and not for the team. Naji scored a lot, he also shot 28% from 3 on five attempts a game, and turned the ball over a lot as well. If anything, I think next years team will be more of a team, will pass better and shoot better. Now I don't know what that means for wins and losses, but they will play different. My biggest concern is how the defense will be and where the rebounds will come from. They will have to rebound as a team. The good thing is I think the guards are all capable to rebound as well too. All tough, athletic type guys.

No it won't. I'm not making the comment hoping he comes back I'm just saying what I saw on the court. Let's be real the man is going to get paid good money to play a game. It's just not going to be at the highest level. Not saying he won't get there eventually but IMO it's not going to be next season

Right now I think there is a chance that the NBA might not even have a draft this year. Sounds crazy, but I can't see them trying to have work outs, interviews, etc with everyone as usual. Summer ball is likely off. They might not even start the season at normal time.
Europe is in the same boat we are. In fact, lockdowns are even more strict, so I bet the smaller basketball leagues are in real financial trouble if they can't attract fans to games.
Marshall might not be playing hoops for a while.
