    When he runs he reminds me of a thick Wayne Ellington.

    It's his wingspan. It's so disproportionate in a good way. He'll be a solid defender with his size and length and the position.

    reminds me of a guard version of barkley. his physique is like older barkley right now, though, so, again...gotta work on that. but i could see him playing a point forward type role despite only being 6'3" or so, sort of like pj tucker is a 4/5 at 6'4". as long as you can't be exploited defensively or on the boards.

    I have a young, great it appears to me new draft pick from the "Talent Evaluating Capabilities" of our FO in place now and going forward ..... to root for again. The hits just keep on coming? Crazy how good our drafting decisions have been. There have been so many over these past 4-5 years. I loved Kuz the first night I saw some college highlights on him. Hart. 7 or 8 others. TNT looks like a lot of fun and promise yet again in our future from in house. Plus 3 or 4 on the SB Lakers. Well done FO.

    And from what I’ve seen in 2 D league games is he is not afraid to shoot. I hate the timid player in general.

    Hide him until after trades are made. You know he would be requested in a package.

    Hand size: 9.5” long and 9.75” wide
    Wingspan: 7 ft 1

    His physical stature is amazing for someone of his height. If he has nothing else going for him, he's certainly still a freak athlete. Bigger hand size/wingspan than LeBron James at 6'4.

    He’s not losing that fat. He’s Charles Barkleyesque in that way. I accept that. Now find him a spot on the Lakers bench.

    Chuck’s butt is the X factor though. That’s where he stored the excess.

    Speaking of fat .... Jokic is built like TNT it seems on TV. Zero definition.
