    Sean got 17 minutes and 5 points last night in a win against the Thunder. Sean is in the rotation due to the continued absence of Desmond Bane (ex-TCU) who has been out for personal reasons. He has been making the most of his opportunity and his stock is on the uptick.

    Grizzlies only had 10 men last night, so McDermott got 21 minutes in. He scored 9 on 3-5 and had 4 rebounds, an assist, and a block. Apparently 2 of those points came on a putback slam, but I wasn't watching at that point. For the 5 or so minutes I watched with Sean in, he was pretty active and played good defense. Tyus Jones was terrible at point and Gorgui Dieng is a good backup center all things considered but once the ball goes into him it's not coming back out. The offense was essentially just Jones and Dieng two man game but Sean was able to hit a 3 and apparently create his own opportunity with the putback.

    And they just announced that McDermott is joining the G-League bubble down in Orlando. Without checking I think the bubble is just about a month so he will get a lot of playing time almost daily before rejoining the Grizzlies. He definitely looked the part last night as much as he could, but that Grizzlies team without Jaren Jackson, Kyle Anderson, Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen, and Brandon Clarke is about as bad as an NBA team gets. Hard to stand out.

    Pardon my ignorance...

    He did well. They are missing a bunch of guys and need bodies. So that = sending him off to the G-League?

    What am I not understanding?

    They had 3 or 4 guys out so needed him. They are back now. So they would rather him get to play every day and develop. Bane, Allen, Brooks, Clarke, Jackson were all out

    Yep, last year Kelan played quite a bit in the G league and had several 20+ point games. It also boosts confidence when you can get that playing time, albeit against lesser competition. Think if it like the practice squad in NFL— Sean can always get called up to the main roster if they get short handed.

    Probably a contractual/$$ thing ultimately. But as estar20 said, the Grizzlies were missing a bunch of players.

    I think the games part of two way contracts was waived and there’s just a fixed salary this year regardless of playing time.

    There is a fixed salary this year (a bit under $500K) but there's still a limit on time spent with the parent club, it's just a lot more permissive than previous years. Instead of 45 days total, two-way players can be with the NBA team for up to 50 of the 75 regular season games this season.

    I'm guessing he was sent back to get more significant playing time, but the game limit might also be in the background of that decision.

    Oh interesting. Seems like they’d want to keep as many guys intimately prepared to play as possible. Having a limit at all seems to work against that.

    Hopefully Finds a home.

    I feel like he showed enough to be in the nba as long as this last o just didn’t change to much for him

    Not sure what his inclination is in playing overseas, but I think he could log 20 minutes a game in Europe or Australia.

    He resigned with the Grizzlies last week. The blurb I read didn't mention it being a 2 way contract.

    He's on an Exhibit 10 contract.

    And an Exhibit 10 contract, for those who don't follow the NBA closely, is a 1-year veteran's minimum deal that is not guaranteed. They're largely used for players the team is inviting to training camp and not making any further commitment to yet.

    Memphis waived McDermott today. I think it was largely expected based on their contract situation and he's likely headed to their G League team. Still, I was hoping it might work out that he'd be on their roster Day 1.
