    He looked pretty good today, both with shooting and finishing.

    He's going to be good: he's got the size and athleticism plus the way he can score.

    he reminds me of guys like Ray Allen. Some guys can just get their shot off so easily and it looks good even when they miss. Doesn't need a lot of space to get the shot off. Like a young Ray Allen he got some nice hops man. Doesn't shy away from trying to put you on a poster or get contact.

    I think he can get significantly stronger as well so despite the age I don't think he's peaked yet athletically

    Considering he had his growth spurt like, 2 years ago, indeed, he should have more room to grow atheltically.

    Those squared off shoulders. He’s really put together to be a physical player with the hops added in.

    :rock: :cool:

    He was projected as a top 10 pick, so he has talent, I want to see how he plays in Vegas, when the intensity ramps up a bit. 20pts on 18 shots isn't exactly smoking, but he has good form on his jumper.

    I think he's the type of player that will improve his efficiency playing alongside Bron, AD, DLo and Reaves who command more attention and can set him up.
    I think he starts ahead of Max in the pecking order for the 2nd unit

    Me too with the pecking order ahead of Max. Max better be working his A** off or Dalton will take what would have been most of his minutes.

    I'm sold. Begun the Knecht Era has. He strengthens our bench by allowing Lebron to come off it.

    "He just doesn't know it yet"

    :Fishwink:

    but let's be real. Lebron will retire before coming off the bench behind some quota kid.

    If he was 4 inches taller, he’d be almost as good as Kiki Vandeweghe

    He had a really nice game, probably the only NBA player on the roster

    Getting old just makes you more creative. I asked my bikini batista girl to go kayaking. She looked at me like I might have a heart attack so I told her I just rode my bike 20 miles yesterday. She was impressed, I left out the part that I had my daughter take me up into the hills and drop me off and that I coasted all the way down riding the brake.
