    It deserves its own thread.

    That music during the slow-mo is hilarious. #FuturePiece #TrustOurProcess

    KJ just hates giants wearing green.

    He was picked picked 50+ as long as he deserves his roster spot its already a steal tbh.

    I think his ceiling is a lot higher than Tate cuz he is only 20 with little exp vs Tate who is already 25 with international experience. Maybe he maxes out as a role player still but all he really needs is better exp, a refined 3 pt shot and a couple more inches of height to get to the next level.

    I love Tate, but KJ’s ceiling is objectively higher just by virtue of his crazy athleticism.

    I would love for our 20 year-olds to grow 3 inches. It occasionally happens.

    He is much more explosive than his dad.

    He should be a lob threat like Capela. KPJ and whoever is running with him needs to try and work on that. KM hit a three last night and has shown a solid foundation to build on offensively and his defense is already putting people on notice. I like him. Hope he's part of the nucleus going forward.

    I love what I am seeing with KJ Martin. I think he has more potential to be a great starter or allstar player than Tate

    I'm hyped.

    Once that frenetic baby deer energy wears off and he starts moving with greater purpose, look the f out.

    It’s possible. I remember hearing Lamelo and Tatum still growing

    We need more athletes like him and Nwaba who play above their height versus Tate Lamb and even Patton

    This is the guy we need to lock up. This kid reminds me of am athletic Draymond. Once he grows more vocal, stronger, and improves his 3pt shot he is our future 4. Wood -5, Kenyon Martin-4, Cade-3, anyone better than what we have at the 2 and kpj-1 is pretty fun and good lineup.

    I like it when he destroys the rim. Stupid refs always got to take the fun out of it.

    He's locked up to a 4 year deal.
