His 5 most recent games

Idk about all of you but I like him more than DFS.

Dude can score and hit the 3 and create his own shot.

Overall this trade is meh to me but I actually think he may be the more impressive get in the deal.

7'1" 230 lbs with frame for more and 7'5.25" reach .... 2nd only to AD on Lakers at 7'6". Athlete. Rim protector. Can guard on the perimeter. Sheeeeooooot!!! Surgical procedure is what took care of the blood clot issue according to this video. Turned 24 near end of June.



Report on him coming out of college before all that above in the Pros with the Raptors and 10 lbs lighter:

Mobile center with 7-foot-5.25 wingspan is coming off a breakout junior season at Arizona that saw him emerge as an impactful rim protector and make some real strides with his feel for the game on offense.

About Christian Koloko

Koloko is a long, athletic big man who turned a corner in his development as a junior not just emerging as a more polished rim protector, but also showed major signs of growth on the offensive end, too.

What prediction hot takes do you have for the upcoming season?

This will be a nice spot for keeping track of receipts and “see I told you so” predictions.

My prediction hot takes:

1. Dalton will be in the conversation for Rookie of the year. I think JJ’s going to give him the minutes he needs as long as his defense isn’t atrocious.

2. Austin will have a break out year. I think Austin will average around 20 per game and increase his assists drastically.

3. I think the Lakers will finish 4th in the West IF we get Vando back early in the season and no long term injuries to AD during the season. If not we’re probably 7th or 8th.

One shot that could have changed everything. It was reported that this was Jerry West’s biggest regret in his career. Probably b******* but it would make sense. Had Selvy hit the mid range shot, which he was a master at, at the time, the Lakers beat Boston in 1962 in Game 7 and maybe history goes the other way. Crazy what one yard, one at bat or one shot can do in the annals of sports history.

Frank Shelvy scored 100 points in a college game when he was at D-1 Furnam.

RIP Frank Selvy. Now he can replay that game in heaven and make it! Haha.
