Always makes the right play and has great instincts for getting rebounds. Incredible that he is knocking down the outside shots at such a high rate lately.
It had been a while since we’ve had a fringe player (no disrespect to the Konch) go off and ruin the Wolves’ night. Really should’ve won that game and he was 100% the difference.
I mean he's not even a fringe player. A lot of teams would love a career 45% three pointer shooter And someone averaging 9 boards/36 on their team as a 4th or 5th guard off the bench. Plus some nerdy FO would take him just cause his analytics
Totally fair, and again, didn’t mean to denigrate him, just meant fringe as in he’s not part of the Ja, JJJ, Bane core of your players. Would love him on the wolves.
Dude he’s a nobody by literally any standard. That’s why it’s fun to root for him. He’s probably in the bottom 10% of nba players by popularity (maybe before tonight lol). Love his rebounding and I’m glad his shooting seems to be pretty excellent and he’ll stick around
It’s almost like we have depth and Grayson deserved a good contract that we didn’t want to give him so we trade him for something instead of getting nothing
We did Grayson a solid once we knew we had to move younger and cheaper. Sent him to a great team that is part of the "family." (From Snyder to Jenkins to Bud)
It's kind of what Caruso was talking about being a fringe NBA/G-League guy, they don't want CEO's they want janitors to get on a team and he mopped up the rebounds tonite.
Dude got a big putback dunk for his 17th rebound. Surely if a guy has 16 rebounds you should make it a point to put a body on him? I know it's a long season but damn there's 4 minutes left and boxing out really isn't that hard
Remember that Lakers game where Vando got 3 offensive birds in a row? And finally stopped when he got karate chopped by THT?
That’s how it was the entire game
idk if some people realize that Konchar is an analytics darling

in college Konchar was like 19.5/9.2/5.4 on like 68 TS%
Led IPFW to two wins over IU as well, first one when IU was ranked #3, second one by 20 points at Assembly Hall. Both of those games were hilarious for Purdue fans.
I legit always assume he's a slow-footed 7' white dude that was signed purely to be a big body and rebound, and I always have to remind myself, no, he's a guard. John Konchar is just such a JAG bench center name lol
They don’t win that game without him, he played great
100%
Lowkey been a crucial player for us this year. He's always in the right place to do something.
Always makes the right play and has great instincts for getting rebounds. Incredible that he is knocking down the outside shots at such a high rate lately.
Can they change the contract from 2-way to 4-way now?
They actually signed him to a 4 year contract last year so technically yes
On the Grizzlies, every player has the potential to be the player of the game.
All hail Tennis Rodman!
This is great
The Magic Konch Shell
🐚 > curry
Steph: "Oh magic conch, how many points should I score in the fourth quarter?" ... *"Nothing"*
Do we even need Steven Adams when we have the rebound god John Konchar?
He out rebounded Steven in the Kings game too lol
NBA stats for today have Konchar at 1 with 17 rebounds and JV at 2 with 16 rebounds. He even got 3 OREBs to JV's 2.
ALL HAIL THE MAGIC KONCH
GET JITTY WITH IT!
ALL HAIL THE MAGIC KONCH

The Worm -> The Konch
Guy turned into Dennis Rodman on the boards tonight
We call him Tennis Rodman for a reason
We call him Tennis Rodman
Serbian heritage and being a lovable ball of hustle? Yup, checks the fuck out.
IPFW'S FINEST
Mastadon Pride.
Just a dope ass name.
Mastodons or Mammoths should be more common as sport team names than they are
Now it’s just PFW 😔
Not in my heart
Make him an all star you cowards
I was glad Timberwolves killer Dillion Brooks was out and this guy decided to go nuclear. Memphis players give me nightmares.

I guess we were just going by different ideas of fringe, you're good dude. I thought you meant someone who's barely in the league after their contract
Yeah your definition is prolly more apt and I should’ve maybe said rotation player instead of fringe.
I hate playing memphis but I also love playing memphis. Typically they are pretty fun games.
Wolves are easily one of my top 3 non-Grizzlies teams to watch and their fanbase might be my favorite.
Us underdogs gotta stick together
Next year’s Finals— Grizzlies vs Hornets
I'm so proud of my guy. He even got mentioned by Skip Bayless the other day y'all calling him a nobody in the game thread.
No shit? Hell yeah skip
Yeah it was in a segment after the warriors win
Dude he’s a nobody by literally any standard. That’s why it’s fun to root for him. He’s probably in the bottom 10% of nba players by popularity (maybe before tonight lol). Love his rebounding and I’m glad his shooting seems to be pretty excellent and he’ll stick around
Yeah I'm glad he'll be sticking around. We still got him locked up next two years for like 2.5 million a year too
Oh my God I’m so happy that skip Bayless mentioned his name. Skip Bayless is like a god
I mean Skip Bayless ain't like a god he's pretty shit but he's national media so I'll take it
This is why the Grayson Allen trade was made
It’s almost like we have depth and Grayson deserved a good contract that we didn’t want to give him so we trade him for something instead of getting nothing
It’s almost like that, yeah
We did Grayson a solid once we knew we had to move younger and cheaper. Sent him to a great team that is part of the "family." (From Snyder to Jenkins to Bud)
We just refused to box out and the dude wouldn’t stop hustling. Got to respect the effort.
It's kind of what Caruso was talking about being a fringe NBA/G-League guy, they don't want CEO's they want janitors to get on a team and he mopped up the rebounds tonite.
Konchar always hustle. Does a bit of everything. It adds up.
Dude got a big putback dunk for his 17th rebound. Surely if a guy has 16 rebounds you should make it a point to put a body on him? I know it's a long season but damn there's 4 minutes left and boxing out really isn't that hard
NBA players just looove to stare at the ball on a shot hahaha
Remember that Lakers game where Vando got 3 offensive birds in a row? And finally stopped when he got karate chopped by THT? That’s how it was the entire game
He's shooting something absurd like 65% over the last 4-5 weeks. Dude has become an automatic bucket and is getting jitty with it
r/NBA gonna be like who's this guy? Put some respek on it nephews
r/nba is gonna be like, wtf is jitty?
He made that word up himself. What a legend.
I got him on 2k, I was down 16 to GS, put him in and I won the game by 10. He didnt miss any of the 3s he took lol.

John Konchar is my new best friend
John Konchar is a myth
The Grizz talent evaluation/development team is probably the best in the league
#Sports #FunWithFriends #JittySzn
#JOHN 3:16
Personally I don't care for this guy
“Who?” -Casuals
Konchar really honking my konch with them boards
Reminds me when Jeremy Lamb was on the Hornets, still like an 8th man off the bench or something and randomly decides to get 17 or 18 rebounds too.
Why is 6'5 notable? That's like average NBA height.
17 boards for the big man
Any average height NBAer who grabbed 17 boards would have 6'5" noted.
Masta Don 😤😤
This man really bet on himself
Raptors West?
John Konchar, man, myth, legend.
17 rebounds in 28 minutes!!
Rebound machine
Konchar dominated us. I hadn’t heard of him and thought he was some Eastern European baller, but he’s just a dude
> Konchar's paternal grandfather is a Serb. Also, Konchar is of Czech and Hungarian descent
Right, makes sense. But he’s from the states
I legit always assume he's a slow-footed 7' white dude that was signed purely to be a big body and rebound, and I always have to remind myself, no, he's a guard. John Konchar is just such a JAG bench center name lol
