He's perfect at the smallball 4, it's what the Hornets should have done with MKG years ago.





May as well start the Boogie or Davis trade talk now that team is DOA.





Core - Lowkey, yall got one.
:usure: Wait, wasn't you on my case when I said Brooklyn was going to be the surprised team of the NBA.

Having talent and actually winning games are two different things :leostare:
They will win games. Kenny got the system, the players who fit the system and depth.

Now, there starting five will get outplayed nightly but if they can only get outplayed slightly, their bench should be able to carry the way especially once Lin moves to 6th man.

I always loved his potential but I was worried about his frame. Almost all guys with his frame has flopped outside of Porzee.
Most guys this skinny who have a lot trouble have bad short area quickness like Daye,Ingram.
Isaac's short area quickness is insane. But he needs to get stronger to reach his full potential.

You mean first step. As someone with a terrible first step, it's hard to get past good defenses. 1 on 1, skills reign supreme but 5 on 5, you need quickness.

I don't even mean his first step. The separation he can get off cuts is crazy. When he attacks of the dribble he's not that fast or running on the break but in the half court 3-5 feet without the ball you can't stay with him.
Combined with his high release & solid footwork he could be a crazy good off ball wing.
This reason why he can stay with quicker player defensively & get to rebounds despite his weakness.
Ingram has to work so much harder just to get daylight for a jumper combined with bad footwork off the move.
