    He’s got a ton of potential and a lot of the time you can see it. On average he’s a 15 and 9 guy with some decent D. It’s not brilliant but the FG% is. For $8 million he’s a steal but we will have to see how Luka likes him for the future. I’m not sure he’s the guy long term. But right now he and Hayes are a pretty decent tandem and it’s a position that’s well filled.

    I always wonder what Kobe would accomplish in different bodies

    insert him in Ayton, in Zion, in Bron, etc

    So strange that these athletes get to this level and the desire is not there

    One man’s “strange” is another man’s “PATHETIC.”

    In his defense a little here, he is a big man, they tend to get lost, if they don't touch the ball any. AD was like that at times too.
