You guys will love him ! A lot of experience, when he left France for Mega (former club of Timothee Luwawu before the NBA) everybody was surprised but he did absolutely great this yr !
Great defender, he'll give options for the bulls for sure !
Super happy for him !

I can’t wait to see him in the championship game for the WCB

A lot of draftniks thought he was a draftable prospect, has some 3/D potential.

I know Spencer (Knicks mod) had him on his board.

6'5 with a 6'10 wingspan, good athlete, really high effort defender.

As we know, 2-ways are largely inconsequential but he's young and he could develop in to some cheap depth for us.

I wonder what we're thinking about Lemon and Sampson. Neither could have really played any better than they did. Hope we think about giving one of them a two-way deal.

Great use of a 2-way contract.

Lost in the shuffle like Etwan Moore, Spencer Dimwittle, and Noah Vonleh ?

He looks fluid, strong and athletic. He played good defense, made a few nice passes and generally looked more composed and skilled than I expected.

Looked like he has a good, instinctive feel for the game. Left a positive feel that he may become useful, but didn't stand out as something special now.

Nice to see that !! He def has a chance to get a spot ! Who's in front of him in the rotation ? Harrison ?

we are fairly deep...which is odd. I said this earlier but the thing I am most interested in going into training camp/the season is who is going to fill those end of the bench slots. There should be some pretty good competition

TLC Mokoka = most dynamic duo next yr in the NBA

I watched the game and he wasnt noticable. Maybe I was focused on our lottery pick and 2nd rounder, along with Hutch.

Yeah he didn't force the issue but he did look like he belonged and had some upside.

I'd like to see him shoot a bit more next game.

He isn't a super explosive athlete, but he looked really good to me. Moved his feet well defensively and made some really nice passes in the halfcourt in a limited amount of time on the floor.

Raw prospect but this is a good 2 way contract signing after striking out completely on last seasons. You can pick up and build quality role players with 2 way contracts.

I liked his play. He's still raw and a year in the GLeague should definitely help him. He looks like he could develop into a Nwaba/Harrison hustle-type player with better decision making.

As far as I know you get 13 spots plus 2 two ways.

I thought it was 15 players , 13 active per game + 2 inactive + two ways.

if they are activated we still have to do the 13 Max playrrs active any given game.

Honestly I'm not sure so I'd like an opinion on that

That’s the way I believe it is as well, but like you, I’m not 100% sure either.

As for this new guy, I don’t see how anyone can be upset with this signing. He’s got good size for the guard spot, great athleticism and has potential to develop into a really solid reserve. That’s exactly what we should be doing with two way deals; signing young guys with athleticism and potential. Some people are acting like we waived Markkanen to make room to sign him or something.

He gets up high. The shot does not look hopeless.
