He's kind of a younger pg version of podz minus the defense. (And podz isn't a good defender). I think he'll run an offense just fine in time. And that's the archetype that is absolutely worth covering for on defense.

Feels like he hasn't broken any real news in years. Shame.

Him and Ira Windbag are useless.

well the dude has legit highlight reel material... but take away all the fancy passes, and circus stuff under the basket....and look at how fast he shoots or passes....he is the anti Tyler Herro, or anti Jimmy Butler.

I got a soft spot for dudes who pull the trigger, or get rid of the ball fast. So at least this guy has that going for him.


On the Down side...he reminds me a bit of year 3 Duncan...dude has a ton of company around him on the permitter. His highlight reel shows him hitting contested shots....but lord knows how many of those he missed. Do not see alot of "getting open"on the perimeter.


This should be a riot on Sioux Falls...he will get the ball in his hand and we should get to see him run a whole ton of offense. I was really hoping for Saraf...but I guess this dude is cool too.

If JJJ and Ware managed to snag a Rookie of the Month, I don't see why Kaspa couldn't either.

I dunno, Rex has been awfully cranky lately. I get the feeling he'd have preferred a swing on Jase Richardson or somebody.

A backcourt of Kaspar and Rozier will have Rex in heaven.

You can call them the Two Ghosts. One because of his name and the other because of his box score.

Kaspar is the reason we didnt want to give up the 20th pick.

KD?

Shoooot.

I know but tonight, 16pts 10ast 9 reb > 20 pts 4ast 5 reb Kas is moving on. Fears is out. I really like Fears though, but he seems a bit small. Not sure how he will hold up on the defensive end.


Similar concerns with Kasparas, except with foot speed on defensive end. And Kasparas is the one that seemed worn down by the college season over the back half. Great showing last night tho. Im a believer in his floor game, passing, and pull up shooting at the next level. Athletic profile TBD. 1 dunk on the season at 6'5 is at least a yellow flag
