    We need to play him. Period. He's better than Troy Brown and Lonnie Walker imo and he should be the first big off the bench, not Wenyen.

    With everyone back, I cut Gabriel and Lonnie out of the rotation.

    He's not a SF, C, or a SG though, Lebron is going to cut into his minutes on one hand, and Jarred is a much better defensive player. I would be intrigued in seeing a small ball frontline, of him, Lebron and Jarred though. Another option when AD sits, I also like AD and Wenyen playing together against some teams.

    I don’t think he’s as good a defender and certainly not the deep threat Troy is and Troy also like Rui has some other offensive moves. Troy’s played damn well for us this year. Not saying I wouldn’t like more minutes and no DNPs for Rui though.

    Only 6 & 4, but I liked his effort and energy out there in his 16 minutes. Don't think the box score accurately paints it.

    Ham, do not DNP him again.

    Best D as a Laker. Bothered KAT.

    This is what happens when you have appropriate size and they play inspired ball.

    Never thought Rui would be able to lock down KAT but he did, props to him for that.

    Agreed, his D really blew me away tonight. So focused. Let's see more of that going forward and our squad will be pretty monstrous.

    feel like there are ways to get his minutes into the 20s instead of the teens.

    It’s just a “shopped” photo showing Hoochie Mama standing cool, collected and handsome kind of looking over his right shoulder while KAT is dribbling in forward crouch with pained exertion on his face bumping into HM the immovable force. You’re welcome.

    Been saying for weeks, that he needs to play more. I hope this isn't an "accident" on Ham's part.
