    Harden and CP3's prime years are essentially forcing Zhou to develop more quickly..... I just dun see many chances for him.

    If we end up with Melo too, then players like Qi have a chance to contribute. Great players take pressure off others obviously, so Qi - even while he's skinny - could end up being a situational spot up shooting C this season.

    We're also going to have to take some chances on the bench because you always need insurance. It never works well when a contender totally ignores that they have crappy/no picks and are not developing any serious prospects behind the scenes. Ian Clark is a good example, Patrick Mccaw is another. These are not stars, but they could develop into role players that can give them tens of millions in flexibility in terms of letting vets walk or investing money in different positions.

    Guys like Onuaku, Qi and Troy are in a good spot and we should not hesitate to make them 10th/11th men on this squad over vet min signings.

    For him being so long he needs to get in the paint more and develop some kind of hook shot or something forget the three point shot

    Dude
    He’s not going to stop jacking up threes
    He jacks up threes in China and summer league and the d league and regular season

    Everyone who says he’s like Cappella rookie year doesn’t understand this
    They are making excuses for the performance

    Likely dealt at the deadline in an effort to acquire another rotation piece.

    Doesn't mean he's a bum.

    Maybe he won't develop maybe he will.

    Still like his potential.

    Nah - it was funny. I'm cracking up because I didn't see the game and was foolish enough to think Qi might have had a big block - I mean a broken watch is right at least twice a day, amirite? So yeah...let's trade Qi for a broken watch.

    Not yet - still mad about that Boston game. If I had watched tonight I probably would have had a broken TV, a chair sized hole in the drywall, and a vase shaped hole in the living room window.

    Kevin Johnson’s only highlight in that series

    Qi scored zero points on 0 of 3 three pointers
    And 0 of 2 free throws

    Based on other posts it looks like schadenfreude to me.

    He's not supposed to replace Capela either. He's supposed to replace Anderson.
