    Ya, KD still has the upper torso of a 12 year old boy. His legs look bigger but that's about it.

    Basketball players are skinny. That's who they are. Might take him a few more years for him to hit his grown spurt in that department.

    Cool. He has to become efficient spotting up; provided we have we have the type of summer we want and bring the type of personnel that controls the playmaking and prefers to operate with a spaced floor...

    It will also open up his game...

    20 points a game. Playing all 82 games next year is what I'm looking for.

    I still remember a tweet by mccollum I believe saying Ingram is gonna be a problem.

    All-Star in the making ladies and gents.
    Envisioning him and PG on defense with Lonzos length, all having high IQ...switch ability, If we concentrate on defense like we did last year I believe we'd have a punchers chance Vs anyone.

    Yes...but Ingram tends to catch, hold the ball by his midsection to gather himself then let it fly. Mind you, not as pronounced as it was earlier in his career. The follow through looks good.

    At this point, I value Ingram more for his play-making ability as a facilitator and heady defense. I feel the offense at 16 to 18 per is gravy.

    McCollum is a guy I really like.

    He should join the Lakers.

    I like ya’all points. Short, concise, to the point. Not all that fluff and stats to back your opinions up. So refreshing.

    Portland got bounced in the first round. McCollum doesn't scare anyone in the playoffs. In fact, he rarely shows up.

    Sure, but he's better than anyone we have right now. Next season could see Ingram pass him, but if we were able to add him without giving up Ingram/Kuz/Ball, I'd be interested.
