- Thread starter goatmane
- Start date
guess I spoke too soonAre you on his street team?? Lol. Stop quoting me. He had the better game. Maybe he ends up being the better player. We will see.
Hope he can stay healthy.
Looks like he got a little Kristops in him.

He was a revelation today. Really smart player, felt like he had a better understanding of the game than Chet did.
People doing that "Is he KD or should he be in the post" shyt, but watching him I honestly thought Dirk's game might be his ideal lane. Unless he gains a ton of strength then he's not going to have the base to really dominate down low. But as well as he shoots at that height he could set up 15 feet from the hoop and it'll be like shooting free throws for him. He needs to be all about those face-up jumpers and high post moves 5-15 feet from the hoop, keep perfecting that little hook and his turnaround jumper from in close.

He’s filling out nicely. Looks like he’s gaining good muscle mass. Gobert/KD hybrid. Dude might own the league one day

He’s more athletic and has better handles than most guys his height tho. And that’s really all that matter.

we saw johnathan bender at this age, breh.
i saw the greatest bust to never make it go to wisconsin and fail too.
in rashard griffith.
then jaime brandon bust as well.
if nikkaz like he not passing the eye test.
then maybe he not passing an eye test.
he is a euro so he lacks ferocity for the american soil based game already.
that if he never gains that and always lacks that.
he will fail.
so if nikkaz like he clumsy and a little too oaf'y.
it has merit because he is a euro.
yet he has pro pedigree to pace himself against older comp.
playing up....
so i feel his game is playing it patiently, to let it come to him versus older comp.
which is like playing up in junior tennis level dope.
at this point we have to see if he can gain ferocity and put on mass lifting.
if he does that..despite no lift jumping...
he has potential to be what if michael porter was a euro taller with no back surgey to rob him of his draft placement potentially at the height of seven three or more. considering he could have a growth spurt as well.
considering his age.
Casual? Don’t play with me
That move in the clip of the 7’3 kid at :53 second mark is nearly identical to the KD move at :27 in this clip from HS . I knew that before even going back to KD highlight mixtape from HS
your rant of this vid is offkey.
this kid makes a simple behind the back wrap around dribble to his other hand.
the move durant made that you suggested.
is the magic johnson triple threat move where he gave that work to portland in the third quarter with this move in like game three.
before slid on the floor and had to retire.
i know cause i took that move,...durant made that move.
this kid did not.
granted outside of that.
this kid does not remind me of durant at all.
this kid is young where they have not reigned in what his main purpose is as a pro hooper. which is fine considering he is playing up in age and his current age as well.

You can't teach height, nor can you teach height that's paired with a solid jumper that has range. Throw in his defensive skills and it's no wonder why he's already penciled-in as the #1 pick in '23.I am not seeing it. suspect handles, no crazy athleticism. he just tall.
he's also a foot taller than all the

I look at someone like bol bol, who appears to be of a similar build and height except with exceptional ballhandling and shooting skills compared to this dude.
Really makes me wonder why he's not starting...

u would think he'd get an opportunity with MPJ sidelined. but who knows WTF is going on in denver. I know he was on the covid list, but he should be good now.
