What? How does that mean hes gonna develop ballhandling skills? Ballhandling is a science, not many players just "learn" how to handle the ball at NBA level. It's easier to teach someone how to shoot than to dribble in traffic.
There's a ton of pro vet players that still can't beat someone off the dribble.. Sekou is only 19 and has only has played in his 15th or so NBA game so of course he's going to have to work on some things. Still haven't really seen a consistent jumper from Giannis and he's the MVP of the league. So is is Sekou a failure to you cause he can't beat someone off the dribble in his first few games in the league:francis:

I said he's not a "problem", didn't say he was a failure. He's just not going to be a notable player unless he develops ball-handling skills.

Also Giannis is taking over 5 threes a game at close to league average from 3. He's getting better there. It's just easier to develop a J than dribble, and being able to dribble unlocks the game for perimeter players. There's not many Klay Thompsons out there who can become all-star caliber players without needing to put the ball on the floor.

You sure about that:comeon: And yeah Giannis is getting better but he's in his 7th year in the league.



-plus Sekou is a PF first and foremost.. He might see some time at SF tho but you wanting to see a full complete arsenal at 19 years old and only a handful of NBA games under is belt is unfair. But I digress. Have at it

In other words, trade all them other niccas I didn’t mention
:mjlol:
Exactly.
If you not mentioned. You basically know you playing for your numbers not the nets team.
I'm sure their agent is telling them their focus should be their next contract.

LeBron, Kawhi, Embiid Named on Kevin Durant's List of 5 Hardest Players to Guard

While Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James battle for Western Conference supremacy this season, they can at least point to something they have in common.

They are on Kevin Durant's list of the five hardest players to guard in the league.

Durant took over The Boardroom Twitter account Thursday and was asked who are the five hardest players to guard. He answered LeBron, Kawhi, Lou Williams, Paul George and Joel Embiid.

Lou Will :ohhh:
