2017 NBA Manifesto
Bryn Forbes
SG, 6’3, 190lbs, 23 years old, 1 year of experience
Brought in to be a shooting specialist, Forbes never lost confidence in the shot, continuing to get them up even though he hit only 32.1% from three-point range. He might as well have done, because the effectiveness of his shot is going to be the only thing that can get him into the NBA. An undersized two with no great length or athleticism, who handles the ball little and makes no significant impact on the defensive end, Forbes needs to take shots, and he needs to make a lot more than that mark shows that he did. The 45.9% three-point shooting he shot on assignment and the 48.1% mark of his senior season with the Spartans suggest it is possible, but in being undersized, it is not an automatic translation to doing this at the NBA level. Other shooting candidates will be available.
Player Plan: Has an unguaranteed minimum salary contract for next season. Personally I would waive him and pursue someone like Jodie Meeks for cheap instead, but it would be inoffensive and inconsequential to bring Forbes back for that.
