Ok, this is one of the filthiest dunks I have ever witnessed. Kai looks small to play the Center spot, and JSims still has more hops, but this right here is ridiculous:

Why not make just one thread titled "Waaaaah, we didn't pick ______?" Or maybe -- we create an alternate universe where we picked Jones/Johnson/Cooper (or Cam Thomas) and we post regret threads of Grimes/McBride/Rokas highlights?

Your response was on point. Nothing else to add. Thank you.
Sick dunk. He should be fun to watch.
I knew something was funny when you didn't mention his Summer League stats. 28 minutes a game, 8 points, 38% FG percentage. Knicks could have a had Kai, but ended up with a more impressive looking players in Sims.
1. Its summerleague.
2. We have Mitch and Noel. We don't develop deep raw talent in this regime. There is a formula. We'll miss some. Its the nature of the beast.
Who needs Kai Jones when you have THIS

Kai Jones dunk is still better, but Jericho got serious extension on that alleyoop. Some fun stuff happening in vegas

Can’t tell if it’s a dunk, or a really angry and fast jump shot.

No disrespect to Kai but agree 100% with the above. Plus Jericho does a lot of important little things like box out, set picks, hustle

Defies gravity!
Does anyone remember david Thompson from ABA days? Purportedly could jump put a coin on top of the backboard land jump again and grab the coin!

listen man, the kai jones dunk was plastic man extension and incredible.
I have been on JSims from the jump. I saw that Sims dunk, and it was spectacular. The elevation he gets on EVERY dunk is insane.
Kai jones is very raw. LIke Bismarck Byumbo raw. Jordan likes Uber athletic kids and perhaps they are are down with giving him some time to develop. Thats not what we are doing with higher picks. Is it because we wired on Frank and Knox? Nope, its a different regime. Kai Jones has big potential but he has not shown to be a basketball player.
In this era we would not gamble on a Giannis type real specimen. Most of the time they don’t pan out.
Draft night they liked it becuase they can see him catching lobs from Lamelo. We have Norlens, Mitch, obi and now sims if he even makes the team.

the hops from players on various teams at summer league this year, and the stunning shooting, is simply stunning
Remember when Nate Robinson was the sickest dunker ever in the 2005 summer league?
This guy Kai Jones might have Nate’s ceiling

Insanely raw player both physically and mentally who didn’t even play much in college. He’d would have been Frank minus defense here with even less minutes(if such a thing is possible)
Btw, the guy he dunked on couldn’t guard most of the posters on this message board let’s see him do that in a regular season game
