Re: Zeke Nnaji
In a couple of highlight videos I noticed that Nnaji is pretty good at striping guys when they go up, he has strong quick hands. It made me wonder if Kmart is still looking to be an assistant coach? While he was a bit of an ass, he had a huge defensive IQ and knew all the tricks, even after he lost most of his athleticism. Not the worst mentor for a guy like Nnaji.

I'm hoping part of Millsap's $10M salary is to help mentor our bigs, certainly has to be something because his play has diminished quickly. Wouldn't mind seeing him added to next year's coaching staff.

Re: Zeke Nnaji
Looking to the near future.
Already looking to see if Zeke can play along side of Jokic

Is there a team better at drafting than the Nuggets?

Re: Zeke Nnaji
I like Nnaji's shooting form. I think he has a potential to be a decent midrange shooter. Got a lot of upside in defense too.

Re: Zeke Nnaji
First game didn't look impressive - in the box score. But on the court, he looked like a great fit. I do wonder though if he can be a center for anything more than 10-15 minutes of small ball. He looks like he might be a great fit next to Jokic.

To me it looked like he could be a long term fit at PF with our starters. He showed good defensive instincts, he also did well guarding on the perimeter, and was fast enough to get to the paint off the corner. while I never looked at the stats for the game he sure seemed to have a nice confident outside shooting stroke.
I know it is a preseason game but just what I saw from the game took me from mildly high on him to being as high on him as any of our young additions and you guys know I really like Hampton.

Re: Zeke Nnaji
Dude just continues to show he has an IT factor, wonder where he would've been drafted had he waited another year or two ??

Re: Zeke Nnaji
Would really like Millsap to work with Zeke, try to help him develop faster we may need him as soon as next year. With all the money we've paid him, this should be something PM steps up to do IMO. Same with MPJ too.

Fascinating article
Sorry WY, that's a hack site if ever I've seen one.....gave drafting the PAC-12 freshman of the year at #24 a C-...they must not think much of him.
