Kolek and Hukporti were really solid last night. Might be 2 future rotation players.

remember Huk was coming off a bad injury when we drafted him (torn achillies I believe) but was regarded as a top shelf athlete, a bit unpolished but not unskilled. Obviously there's a lot of work here but he's huge and moves really well.

Have not seen much of our French Wing but Kolek and Hukporti look great. Maybe getting a head of myself but give them the McBride run in the Gleague and I feel like we might have contributors come spring. Regardless its great cause you can really see their upside.

Kolek in the G League is gonna be like 30pts 15 asts per night. He's a rookie and there's work to do, but he's too good for the GLeague I think. Its preseason, but I didn't expect Kolek to be such a smooth/confident scorer. He was getting the basket nearly at well and we saw his pull up game from 3 in Game 1. 26 pts in 31 mins

thats OK. We saw McBride dominating there when his shot wasnt falling.

Really I think it comes down to Payne. I dont see Payne getting beat for the backup PG job... at least not right away.

This is way too early to mean anything but I have an agenda to push. Looks at Koleks PER.

Same as Durant. He did it 2 years ago and has had 1 professional season under his belt since. The Hulk has claimed he is full back but who knows.

I don't know about Juzang but I think Kolek can probably keep up this pace.

when does the hang your ass thread start? i know it sounds like bragging but i was incredible close the last two years (last year injuries were the excuse)


this year i'm offering my pearly whites for two tattoos. One if my still-yet-to-be-revealed prediction comes true. And two if we beat OKC in finals I'm getting one of traitor-Hart kissing my butt

And if we beat Indy I'm going to get Nalod's ass tattoo'd. Reggie Miller on cheek1 and Haliburton on cheek2

Love how the offense is starting to click but my only concern is that we are not crashing the board on the offense side of things like we did in the past

Who would? If he keeps that ass in mint condition he'll get a boat load of cash. Or maybe trade it in for some rare Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

This and the less then spectacular 3 point shooting so far.

They are releasing back on defense a lot.

on paper, we should have a much more efficient offense so less of a need to get extra possessions. And - one thing to have iHart & MR crashing the boards, another with Kat who is at the 3pt line a lot.

IF we are cellmates and you end up on top with me as your bitch, then have at it.
Im a bit creeped out.
