    Some time down in the gleague would be beneficial versus sitting on the bench as a victory cigar

    Somehow I think Cam will benefit greatly from playing with Sengun. If he is willing to cut like KMJ did, and if he spots up, Alpi will keep finding him, and he will get tons of free buckets.

    Yeah, Can is not a SF but a shooting guard. I think he is a better shooter than Jalen.

    Good thing the contract is only 4 yrs. Can't stand 1 yr of Brooks on the bench and Cam starting? Wtf.

    NBA body
    Can shoot
    Defensive instincts
    Explosive athlete
    Chip on his shoulder from being 20th
    Decent handles

    This kid can easily be an all-star as long as he learns the game the right way. Development is key

    I think he’s naturally a better shooter too. He needs to get the shot selection cleaned up a bit but once he does…watch out!

    No reason at all for this kid to fall to 20, but I’ll take it

    I guess that means Sengun is coming off the bench with him then? Interesting

    See you all in the “Dillon Brooks appreciation thread” thread this time next year after we dump him with 2 1sts to clear playing time for Tari and Whitmore.

    No, Sengun will play 48 minutes per game!

    I think it would take WAY more than 2 firsts for another team to be willing to take on Brooks contract for 3 years.

    the fact that GS got of poole for nothing gives a little hope, it doesn't take as much draft capital these days to dump money. Granted brooks is a bigger cancer then poole, but they are both trash

    Well he can't pass and he can't dribble but he's awesome at everything else.

    My thoughts were that Cam will be assigned to the GLeague and will be our first round pick next year
    No need to rush, he’s young
    At this rate however, the way he’s performed he may be a rotation player year 1
    The draft picks can play and if Udoka is true to his word that it’s a clean slate, cream rises and competition will bring out the best of everyone
