Hi!

[pdub]

Hello.

[ousdahl]

This guy’s good.

Slasher wing who can rebound and run the break.

And if he’s got a j, oh boy

[NewtonHawk11]

Aye papi!

[pdub]

The thing is, we just saw some great stuff from Bryce in the first two. Harris has been a spark. I don't think Enaruna is out of the rotation yet. Grant-Foster may be.

We have pieces.

Just think he's a ballplayer. Very gritty, all effort. Going to win a ton of games here.

Good GAME FOR HIM TONIGHT

[sdoyel]

Enaruna better get going this year or I see a transfer coming.

Maybe?

The math there changes when we're playing four-out as a default, and occasionally no-big.

Wilson reminds me of Pierce. Some breakout stuff early. Then gels when the midrange jumpers fall. Veracity.

[ousdahl]

this got some controversy in the game thread, so maybe it deserves more discussion:


The heat check.


Personally, I loved it. Dude just hit 2 clutch 3s in a row, and - perhaps more importantly - zero hesitation, just caught it and shot in rhythm. I think it was a good shot either way.

After some of the soft, pansy posting, nomesayin type players we’ve seen, we finally got one going for the throat.

FUCKING LOVED IT.

No one was hitting, he hit 2 in a row. Caught it in rhythm and fired away. I guarantee that Self and staff loved it as well.

Wilson can ball. Braun can ball. Enaruna's defense is probably what's keeping him off the floor right now. Wilson and Braun play tough D. So does Harris. I think Thompson will get there. A little disappointed with Grant-Foster so far because I expected him to be a little farther along as a junior.

[ousdahl]

sooooo


so what’s this dude’s, like, pro potential?

[jfish26]

Modest?

[PortlandHawk]

I think his best case is three and d role player, millions of dollars. Sounds nice.

[pdub]

He's a freshman at Kansas and is leading them in scoring.
I think his pro potential is high if pro potential means landing a contract in the NBA within the next 4 years.

I took the question as potential within the NBA. And I think that's modest.

But hey, I also wouldn't have said Marcus Morris was going to clear $100mm.

[CrimsonNBlue]

I agree with the 3 and D take if he continues to improve his set jumper.

Good baller at this level. Garbage man sounds harsh, but he just plays his ass off and gets to the ball around the rim. Haven't seen yet being a playmaker or go to scorer from the perimeter--definitely has the feel of a role player at this point.

Drew Gooden with a perimeter shot plays a long time in the NBA.
