Bam is still looking great. He already looks like he could be a decent energy big off the bench and the things he needs work on are very fixable
-Has to get a stronger base and use his lower body better to establish position. He reminds me a lot of Whiteside. He was used to being much stronger and more dominant when establishing position so he can get pushed off the block a lot. Good news is that playing against these stronger players has already made him smarter in the post and using more footwork to get past them. I'm also impressed by his patience.
-His motor is great on the offensive boards but he doesn't seem to be nearly as good as a defensive rebounder as he should be. I think this will improve with experience though because that knack for boards is natural.
Okaro is giving me Ennis flashbacks. I like the dude and he hustles but he just can't handle the rock. Too many turnovers. I remember I got on Justise's stiffness and "eh" footwork in last years Summer League but Okaro makes Justise look like Kyrie. Dunno if his defense is enough.
I heard his work ethic used to be shoddy but I still think Christian Wood is a better project. Or I'd like to take a gamble on Richaun Holmes. Kid turned from one of the worst rebounders around into extremely damn good by sheer work ethic.
Richaun Holmes Proving He Belongs in Philadelphia 76ers’ Rotation
Between Whiteside, Bam, Winslow, Johnson, and Holmes...we'd be top 2-3 defense easily and one of the best rebounding teams in the league. All them guys run the floor and play above the rim plus have tons of defensive versatility.

I haven't watched the summer league games but I like the fact that he's showing a variety of skill in those highlights. I saw mostly dunks and layups in those Kentucky vids. Cal must've been holding him back.
He's an FA? I wanted him that draft
Cal wasn't holding him back. Bam did it for the team because that's what they needed
No but Philly might be willing to trade him since they'll have a logjam of bigs. Maybe they want McRoberts for his veteran leadership and end up trading for him

They're not trading him anytime soon, they'll try to move Jah before Richaun.
I do think they may have to move him in the future as his skillset is going to command a lot of money.

he said we're trash and boston is some DOO DOOThe fukk do these nikkas be saying?
If we don't hear from Hayward by tomorrow afternoon we need to get rolling with plan B - lock in Dion, JJ + other FA's. He aint nobody to be waiting days on end for. The way the market going we might even be able to keep Willie
For real I give homeboy by 8pm5pm out west, take it or leave it dog.
