MKG can defend at a high level and has the defensive chops to check elite offensive players. He can play. Some people need to stop fixating on where he was drafted.
Will Mike even play MKG after he bricks a couple of shots? Teams will probably respect him as we respected Roberson and Mike will be like "ok, let's try someone else"...maybe as a 5, but i don't know. Still, crazy to think this guy is still just 26/27 and has been around for almost 10 years.
It doesn’t necessarily, but you might have heard — we’re doing away using a traditional 5. The better question to ask is his fit with Westbrook.
Fack no to MGK. Let's go get my boy Cam Oliver back. Right now he's in the Australian league, on the team with the 3rd best record, 2nd highest scorer on his team at 17 ppg, 9 boards (2nd highest in the league), 1.6 blocks (2nd highest in the league), 1.6 made 3's per game. He's the only player in the entire Australian league to be averaging more than 1 block and 1 made 3 point shot per game. He averages more points them LaMelo, and is scoring it on 15% higher FG% then him too.
Let's agree to disagree. I believe that Dragan's guard skillset is more useful to Roclets new system than Harty. His versatility at 7'0 is intriguing. If he was an explosive athlete too he would not be available. Former 4th overall pick, Morey has been known to take chances on high lottery picks, see Thomas Robinson.
He's skilled offensively but he's one of the most pathetic defenders and rebounders I've ever seen. But he is very offensively skilled. He needs to get stronger
He's shooting 36% from 3 on 4.5 attempts a game over 26 games. Hey, I didn't know a Rockets hero from back in the day was playing in that league, Aaron Brooks. I read a column from last year on Oliver about a bad ankle injury that needed surgery that happened right about the time he was hoping for a 10 day with a team in the NBA. A year later, he's clearly recovered from that. Worth a look.
And he is still better than Harty! By the way, neither if your vids support your points but confirm how advanced, fluid and aware Dragan is on offense.
Probably whoever gives him the most money, but if I were him I'd be really happy being in Cairns lol, absolutely beautiful place to be in Australia. Right in the middle of the great barrier reef, the most northern (tropical) city on Australia's east coast.
