    Daishen is too much for the GLeague.

    Love the kid! He reminds me of Wes Unseld reincarnated as a PG...

    We need to make a move or two and get this dude back up from the JV. He needs some NBA PG minutes ASAP.

    Yeesh. I like KPJ's progress, but gah-damn this dude might take his spot. He is like Jason Kidd mixed with James Harden and a can of peanut butter. Ayyyo, what's up with that bulge in ya khakis?

    Sheesh! Not everybody has the court vision required to see that guy let alone the ability to actually deliver a pass there.

    I just had a crazy thought. How weird and ironic would it be if Nix ended being the best player we got out of this draft and he was undrafted? This is me still expecting big things from Green, Sengun, and Christopher while being cautiously optimistic about the pushback king Garuba.

    He looks like a franchise PG. If there really was a re-draft, I bet he'd go pretty damn high based on his age and rapid development. Ready to see him snag 18 minutes behind KPJ... (Let's see If he can push him out...)

    I think Nix is ready to run the team at PG, should be backup PG right now...

    Nix would provide some precision play. He is a true point guard

    lol. Y'all are goofy. He does look good down there, though. I'd still like to see him back to his old shape. He still looks like he's carrying a few extra pounds. Also want to see if his inside scoring translates to the NBA and if he can be a respectable 3 point shooter, as well. He looks like his passing skills from high school are still solid despite the uptick in league talent.

    He is in the argument as possibly the best player in the GL, at 19 years old.

    It ain't everything, but it is something!

    (Watching that FT percentage closely. I hope that starts to rise too, along with my penis...)

    I liked both these posts on the strength that this is the hype train thread. Franchise PG? Ok, speak it into existence then lol. Wouldn't mind having another fat franchise PG. This one seems like he wants to actually play defense.

    I may have to turn over the controls and make you the conductor of the hype train lmao.

    We have a history of getting excellent value out of undrafted or low 2nd-round players. It's our first round players that tend to under perform.

    Queen is actually Vipers best player IMO.

    But Nix would be upgrade over EGo or Augustin at backup PG.
