    This body type has always been successful in the NBA. Essentially what Zion is. Explosive stocky players are strong, low center of gravity and hard to move. Coupled with insane athleticism and it's hard for them to fail.

    Cam and Amen played significant minutes at the same time as A-A-Ron Holiday and we won! Our draft prospects improve. On to the next one. We're streaking, boyz!

    Amen is the future point for this team.

    We still get a bunch of picks from Nets and it looks like high pick in the great chance
    Stone did excellent job in the Harden trade
    By the way,it maybe hears like arbitrary but we are definitely the big winner on the Draft Day in 2023

    If we can really get Cam to understand the game, sky's the limit for him. The guys a walking bucket and has all the physical tools to be a top defender. Need to inject some bball IQ into him

    Some sloppy play here, but got the all important W...We were hitting from downtown, and took control of the boards in the second half. Sengun easily working BKN's soft underbelly inside. ...Fred played well too. Cam and Amen with their best games yet.

    His BBall IQ is great, his effort on D is not.

    Cam is going to be ready sooner rather than later, they might push it back till they can get rid of some dead weight, but this time next season he's likely starting at the 2 and it'll make the spacing A LOT better.

    I want Holiday to spend more time on the bench.

    If Cam could become a better defender and could learn what the word passing means, he could be really good.

    I think the key to getting Jalen going is letting Alpi cook. He'll create so many open opportunities just by forcing the defense to collapse, and Jalen got a bunch of good shots--his shot is looking way better even if his percentages are ****. A couple of rim-outs too, so it is what it is.

    I've been really impressed with our team's ability to turn it on and blast past worse squads. The Nets aren't even that bad! But in a choppy, sloppy, defensive game, we're likely to always come out on top, especially if we get a few scoring runs to go with the defense.

    This was more like his summer workout shooting form, body was upright with the follow thru flick of the wrist, he needs to master this form
