Like cmon now. If this is what we're truly working with, then outside of Fultz there isn't a prospect I'd rather have had than this cat right now.



I still don't think we have seen his array of tools yet.

He was put in a box for a year, he has to figure out what he can get away with against pros.

We knew he was a freak combination of size/strength/agility... and to have him be a Heat type player....it's going to be fun watching him find his NBA identity.

We are so blessed to have Bam and then to be able to put him with such amazing guys like Zo, UD and JJ.

If you watch a gaurd play like a guard.... he does great, maybe it's him, maybe it's the competition

You watch a 19 year old PF run coast to coast and euro step somebody.... maybe he is just badass

I've been impressed by young Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole, it's best to temper expectations until something real materialises lol.

Bam has really impressed. Shown alot more than he showed at Kentucky. Which is great for us.

The more I see him, the less excited I am about the Kelly signing.

I actually feel the opposite. Bam will be on his rookie deal for 4 years, right? Once it is time to pay him, Kelly will be off the books. So instead of having Kelly for 4/50, we have both Kelly and Bam for 4/62. That seems so much better to me.

Summer league or not Bam is a lot more impressive than Id thought he'd be at this point. Kentucky Lottery picks really are solid.

I was cool with the pick from the get go because I knew he was a good player.

However, I didnt know he had some skills that he's been flashing. Glad he's with us and hope he can make some teams regret passing on him.

Something else that's impressive about Bam is that he hasn't turned the ball over a lot in SL.

How about fouling? He's had a couple with 6.

You get to foul up to 10 times in SL per game, doubt he'll be a frequent fouler.
