Weaver really likes them athletic. They should be getting 100 steals, 100 blocks/rebounds, and 200 layups/dunks a game.

Looks like he’s at least a good passer. Maybe this is a setup move for the Plumlee trade. Stewart needs a backup.

I hope he’s at least getting a 1st rounder for Plumlee

He’s played with grant and plumlee in Denver , he played for the thunders g league team when weaver was there.

I think if anything this puts pressure on sekou, not sure this really affects the trade deadline though. More seems like taking a look at someone’s development.

The parts of this article that doesn’t apply to playing for a super team makes him look like he’s worth taking a chance on.

In only 8 games played, he averaged

21 points, 10 rebs, 4 assists, but only 0.5 blocks.

If he really wanted that, he'd sign LaVar Ball.

he really seems to like hanging on the rim and shaking it after he dunks lol.

it better not cost him a tech because that's an easy way to get benched for a fringe roster guy.

In no way am I making an actual comparison or talking this kid up, but he plays like a slower less explosive Zion. He might have a rotation big possibility in the future. Lots of aggression to his game.
