    Christopher is supposedly the nephew of Shaqs first wife. She lives in Houston.

    Watched Usman and Josh on ESPN film study, really like what Stone did with the draft. Every player they drafted is noted for high motor, high athleticism, high character. Had the potential to be something special if they’re able to develop together

    getting a real wholesome locker room guy vibe from josh. He’s going to be a personality you’re going to want to root for.

    Very impressive young man. I'm glad we have him. Now, I see, said the salamander...

    I like his highlights and scouting report. Looks to have plenty of ceiling.

    I like when Stone compared Josh to Jrue Holiday.

    His film study with Mike Schmitz is very impressive. I have high hopes for him as a flamethrower sixth man.

    I’m all in on Jaygup. He’s probably not ready right now, most 19 year old rookies aren’t, but I like his game, his attitude, and his personality. He just seems like a really good dude. Super positive person, good sense of humor and he’s the youngest of 5 kids that all play or played basketball.

    He has all the measurables and physical tools he needs to be successful. He’s going to get after people on defense and have a lot of highlight reel dunks and passes to Green sprinkled in here and there. Highly ranked coming out of high school and had he not gotten injured, he may have been a lottery selection. I think he’s going to end up being a good player for us eventually.

    Same! You can't overestimate the fact that he has a brother who was a pro. I think he will be a good influence on Green and even KPJ. His movement is very fluid and he can push the pace. He does not seem to be afraid of contact either. Summer league should be fun.

    Lucas III (Josh's personal trainer) was his daddy's ear to draft his client

    it all makes sense

    One thing the Lucas family does not know, evaluate TALENT.

    Hopefully means a shift in culture. We have the chance to grow something special over the next few years. A reset on the culture. Stone seems to be doing a solid job, I just really really hope the Fertitta's don't become impatient.

    It's hard to build a good team in this league and just have to remain patient.

    fermtites easily gets impatient simply b/c his hospitality businesses heavily rely on financial liquidity, n he get used to judging things based on a short-term ROI formula, which could hardly work in sports/entertainment buisness.

    Wow, I was skeptical about this guy until I watched two interviews. Can't see this kid not making it as a rotation player, at minimum. If he's excelling on catch and shoot, he certainly has the explosiveness to exploit tight defense. Draft keeps getting better as the details emerge.
