    I-Stein, I-Hart, Zeke stein, Zeke Hart whatever we want to call him, I hope they assess how he does in the Summer League before they commit to sending him back overseas. Having another shot blocker on this team would be really good considering we were below average in points in the paint allowed. I hope he and Oliver beast in the Summer League and make it to preseason squad and beyond. It is interesting to see the Warriors and Spurs giving some of their youngsters non garbage time minutes as a way of developing them. Morey has rarely kept players he drafted after their rookie contract ended,I hope we strike gold and that changes.

    The chin is 4x bigger than the body actually.

    I really don't get your gripe? Wiltjer did nothing for the Rockets but be an enthusiastic towel waver on the bench.

    Would you be satisfied if Hartenstein was sitting at the end of the bench by the end of the season?

    If you want three stars on your team these are the kinds of players that you have to develop. Cheap players that you have control of for a while.

    I've thought for about a year now that Hartenstein has higher upside than Lauri Markkannen. Now we have Hartenstein.

    There's a bunch of East and South East Asians darker than many African Americans so what is your point?

    That type of posture alone strains areas of the back. It can be corrected with personalized training I hope.

    You Should Just say "contribute can mean anything, so I picked a random player on the bench, in order to prove that the 43rd pick isn't a championship caliber role player his rookie season."

    Thanks derp.

    I'm not African American.

    My point is that alleles that code for a particular skin color can mask other elements of a person's genetic make up. Therefore it is entirely possible that this young man has a significant amount of African ancestry.

    Looking at Hartensteins tapes, he really looks like a Kevin Love/Kristaps Hybrid. That is his ceiling of course.

    Could very well be a Len type guy

    Sure. That is his Dad and his mom seemed to be a blonde. He is lighter than Curry for sure.

    He seems more like a defensive and rebounding guy, not a great offensive player at this point who can score in a variety of ways like those guys. Struggles to finish in traffic and shoot from 3

    Contribute DOES a mean anything. Anything at all. Does he even have value as a trade piece?

    You just don't like that I have a point or what? Wiltjer actually does contribute something, it isn't very much but his value as a big man that can shoot from distance is a commodity. His experience in college helps him. In case of injury, you have a guy that can fill the stretch 4 role. And he's been able to do it from the second he was drafted.

    Draft and stash is bullshit. This team doesn't need help in 5 years. This league isn't dominated by centers. ANOTHER draft and stash center....is bullshit.

    The chance of that Is less than nothing. Super zero.

    Oh and hey, a guy who might contribute as a wing player, the biggest need on the team? Trade him off for nothing.

    I'd be satisfied if this team got better when the draft rolls around.
