    I think my issue with Kmart is, like I mentioned before, I don't know where he plays. His height and length scream 3 but I think he is presently a long way from being an nba wing. His jump shot and ball handling need lots of work.

    Similar to Tate but with more bounce + length, less handles/vision.

    A big in a wing's body.

    Vipers could not hold on to the W.

    Could have used Spalding.

    Or Brodric Thomas.

    Yeah, he’s the one. I think his dad invented it, but they named it after him.

    True, but he is devoid of a NBA jump shot.

    You are right but like I said Tate and Zach Lavine has 5 years on him so he has all that time to work on his game.

    He doesnt even need ball handling per se all he needs is open 3 pt shooting and he can already be a 3nD.

    That's a good point.. we should be developing what we want to see up in Houston. So that means defense.

    The only difference between him and Tucker at the moment is experience because Tucker three point shot is shot and his ball handling and decision making been terrible.

    This is what they need. A solid back up power forward. Now all they need to do is trade PJ Tucker for pieces, and get a solid back up Center.

    This is 9pts, 5rbds, 1blk 50%fg in the NBA if given decent PT.

    Spalding made me appreciate how elite Christian Wood’s hands are. Spalding looks like a fringe useful end of rotation NBA player, but the guy needs to be able to catch an interior pass cleanly. He only got credited with 1 turnover, but there were probably 4 or so possessions where his lack of hands either led to a turnover or turned what would have been a high quality shot into a bad one.
