    Not saying it’ll happen, but I can see the path to him being a star. Let’s hope he hits his ceiling bc he could be really good

    He’s stringing together good games, and when he’s playing with confidence his defense and motor skyrocket as well.

    I like what I’m seeing (and I also like that he’s pretty unselfish by nature, like when he passed up his own three to swing it to Jalen, even though it was a miss)

    You are telling me he's not the worst player on the team or comparable to James Wiseman?

    He is starting to learn what a bad shot is. He doesn't need to launch a bad shot every time he gets the ball in an awkward position.

    Another great game

    Really looking forward to seeing how he does next season. Expecting a big leap in production from him, as often happens with big men with his raw talent level.

    Another solid game from Bari. Keep it up, Bari! We gonna beat those "bust" allegations and reverse the generational "I'm related to Kwame Brown" curses.
