I'm watching the highlights like :patrice::jbhmm:


- For a very thin 7'2" guy, the only advantage you can have is if you can play like Ralph Samson or Marcus Camby. Athletic and Fast. He doesn't play like either of them at all. He's not fast enough to blow by bigger stockier centers, and he's obviously doesn't have the size to defend them either. And he's not a leaper at all. He will struggle with legit big men in the paint. I can see even a power forward like Sabonis abusing him

- His selling point is that he plays like KD. What good is that if he's slow footed? Do you know how easy it would be for a smaller guard to strip him and cause turnovers whenever he puts the ball on the floor? I can imagine him going against Dejounte Murray or Marcus Smart or Jrue Holiday and it being a nightmare for him

- He can shoot 3's from time to time. Cool, that isn't an amazing attribute anymore in modern day NBA

- Nothing against the young breh himself, wish him nothing but the best. But you know how ESPN and the media will overhype alot of players to fatten their pockets

I’ll take him number one but a lot of rockets fans are skeptical about him because they remember how Yao and Sampson career ended. . But man that big rotation of Jabari, Sengun, Garuba and Wemby :whew: Only Silas could fukk that up

It would be a damn crime for Victor to be on the Rockets. NBA needs to intervene and send him anywhere but there and Detroit.

Luka is a 6'7" 230 pound point guard
That would get burned if he actually had to defend point guards on every possession. He’s not a point guard he’s a point forward. Give the yute a chance to develop, he’s only 18 and still in the G League lol.
