    Wow...he's got some EXCELLENT footwork in the post.

    Love those spins and pivots, and good soft hands for finishing.

    Why was he drafted so low? What are his weaknesses?

    Turns 20 at the end of July, better hurry up and get his potential in before he caps out as a player.

    I like this kid, you can see the potential there to carve out a role in this league.

    Nice to hear you say that, I value your opinion. I was thinking I like the coordination, variety of skills, footwork and shooting form better out of Kuzma, but then balance that out with Bryant being a bigger and stronger guy who can play center and hit the 3. Then again I could see Kuzma maybe being able to play 3 as well as the 4 depending on matchups, if he doesn't go Anthony Brown on us.

    I think at one point his entire answer was "you know" repeated 5 times.

    I like him though. Seems like an earnest, intelligent young kid.

    He was certainly nervious a little and hard being the 3rd person to answer the same question. I think he's got the most personality (maybe not Josh) out of the group. Infectious smiles and gentle giant like flow to him.

    He's honest about himself, says he knows he's got to continue to improve his game. Said he currently sees himself as a 5/stretch 5, maybe one day a stretch 4.

    he's kinda clumsy, but dammit, if you're that big and work hard, there's going to be a place in the league for you.

    I felt the same way watching him play but then I remember he's still just 19... His body has a ways to go. Hopefully his coordination improves.

    I missed the nervousness if there was any, but agree with you about the personality and vibe with him plus he's actually the best speaker of the 3 guys, but Kuzma and Hart were fine.

    I like this guy, big man bias for me, but yeah he'll be in the Gatorade League unless someone gets hurt, hopefully not.
