    How is Bari that tall and still a tweener? Hopefully Tari takes a leap into the starting lineup and we can run with Fred/Jalen/Amen/Tari/Alpi

    Are y’all seeing Markannen?

    Hes the biggest dude on the court. He even has more mass and size than Sengun.

    Is he on steroids?

    Damn, imagine if we had him instead of Green.

    Nah, just accept that he's a switchable big that will have good shooting and bad shooting nights.

    If he's ever going to be an offensive weapon it won't be on this team, not as it is now, he simply won't get the usage here for that I think.

    So for now, accept that as a role player he's a great fit and its likely we won't have the money to keep him and he'll probably want to go somewhere with a bigger role when his contract comes up.

    I'm not going to stress over it, I think he still has a lot of potential but the usage just won't be there for him with Jalen, Sengun, FVV, and then you have Cam and Reed.

    He is supposed to be a stretch big who plays great defense but he is nowhere close yet.
