    Team going to have alot of highlights when we trade the old heads, and have porter, wood, martin and tate on the floor. Porter actually knows how to throw a lob pass in the right place. Weak side help off Wood should be a dunk everytime to Martin.

    I’m not impressed with guys that can just dunk. But the interesting thing about this kid is his versatility. The other night he was shooting well from long range. He can finish around the rim. He routinely blocks 7 footers. Seems to have a good b-ball IQ. I see a ton of potential with this kid. Very excited about his future. Seems to have a great attitude too.

    And he is doing these things with very little or no length, only 6'6 with 6'7 wingspan.

    But the kid has springs for legs.

    And NO FEAR.

    He and KPJr are buds - along with Lamb and hopefully Snipa Brooks (the next Lou Williams).

    I don't think being friends with Lamb will play any part in someone's decision to stay.

    Since he is not an NBA level player - he will be out of the league pretty quickly.

    See previous post from me - I don't envision it taking too long for KPJ to get sick and tired of this pathetically run franchise and demand out.

    KJ as short roller is crazy. Like he's taking off, runway not necessary.

    Dude is a veritable VTOL jet.

    Have to give credit to Stone and even begrudgingly to Tilman..

    draft day trade where his pick was bought by the til??? Surprising but we need to keep hitting on moves like this during our rebuild

    Man do you ever talk without b****ing? Whenever you post it's non-stop negativity.
    If people only realized that negativity leads you nowhere... :rolleyes:

    KJs hops lets him play with bigger 4/5s and always impact the game defensively. He keeps beating sht up around the rim like that then the intimidation factor starts to creep in with changed and altered shots .. if he can refine his offensive game or at least just develop a consistent jumper he would be a a nice compliment to Wood and Tate in the frontcourt.

    Pisses me off that he was stuck behind PJ for the entire year until recently. What could have been...

    If Martin can develop his jump shot and ball handling, he'd be a very dangerous player. He is already with his main skill being leaping ability, but right now he's weak in those other areas of his game.
