    I said weeks ago that he just knows how to play the right way. He understands basketball. He does all the little things that good basketball players do. I really enjoy watching him move around the floor. He’s always working.

    lol I already believed in Hartenstein back then when @Williamson was a MCW only fan, perhaps even before that cant really remember now, as soon as i saw him in real game i knew he was a baller and was laughing at people for writing him off just because he was clumsy

    brings something different - more physical, better motor and screener. he can shoot the three decently as well, at least in the g-league.

    start him as power forward or center? or let him go out with Capela to play 2 towers like duncan and David Robinson, move tucker to small forward. As I know Sixers beat bucks are using tall man rotation, we can use this to win Sixers and Lakers. If both caplea and Harkinstein can get double double. tucker to guard Leborn and Gianns. Hope we can get back Ariza as backup.

    I want him to get 25 min. a game. Reduce Tucker's minutes.

    Exactly, he knows how to do the small things that keep the offense moving. He makes mistakes but he hustles which translates into more possessions. He's been rebounding better than expected.

    He’s playing so much better than last year. Excellent defense and better hands. Looks more athletic and less clumsy. Time to trade Capela. :D

    No way he can play 15 minutes at PF, he will get destroyed defensively. Harty needs his mins at 5.

    Let him have Tuck's and Tyson's minutes at Center. Set him up for success.

    He is so clumsy looking it is funny, but it works for him and he can rebound the ball and do lots of nice things(just don't give him a bounce pass on the run)

    There's absolutely no reason we should be running these stupid thin rotations at his expense.

    I'm not even that big a fan, but he should consistently get 15 minutes or so every night. He's a perfectly adequate rotation center right now, maybe he keeps improving.

    Not sure how useful he'll be in the postseason, but there's a long regular season to grind out first.

    I never gave up on the kid. Really glad he’s being better than expected
