    Thinking we landed a gem. Perfect piece to put around LBJ/AD and post LBJ.

    Moar please. I'm hooked and have barely seen him. He's strong with crazy long arms for his not bad size and strength and is herky jerky quick with a shooting touch and can handle the ball plus reputedly play good defense.

    he does need to get in a little better shape, but the tools are certainly there, physically and skills-wise.

    why did he slip in the draft again? i remember seeing him mocked as high as late lotto.

    the injury he had that kept him out of SL, pre-season and up till g-league, I dont believe he worked out either during draft time, he got a shot most likely due to his solid showing at Iowa st and of course being a Klutch client didn't hurt

    Well he showed he can get out on the break and hit 3's. If he can play D that's pretty much all you need to fit in next to Lebron
    May need to call him up now with both Bradley and KCP out

    won't get looks that clean in the real league, but yeah, encouraging that so many are going down for him, even there.

    long-term, i think he has potential value has a ballhandler/distributor, too. lots to like in the clips.

    A good thing about him is he’s still only 18, about to turn 19 this month, there’s time to get into NBA shape. Bynum is a good example of how quick you can improve your physique when you come in with a not quite NBA ready body. Kid definitely looks like he has potential.

    He looks freaky weird, which can be a good thing. I Like that we have another youth to follow his growth, but without needing him to advance quickly to save the team. Prior to his trade, I was watching for Bonga to develop into something special out of nowhere.

    I don't know why but I have this vague impression from the limited footage I've seen of him .... that he is a southpaw player who shoots right handed. Yeah that makes sense.
