It would’ve been a gamble, but it would’ve been a pretty bad one. Last two seasons he’s been a ~30pt player and had two pretty bad playoffs. Going for term with Nuke early I get, but 5.5 for everything prior to this season would’ve been insane.Yes it's hindsight, but it's also gambling. Joe gambled on JTC. Nuke wasn't putting up the numbers he did this year, but he was playing like this effort wise. He has been our hardest working, and most effective forechecker the entire time he's been here. If you think the numbers will come, you gamble.
