I feel like hes a good defender and shooter. We could def use him.
Royce and Joe are ahead of him on the depth chart

I know, right...?!?
The hell's going on with Kessler, anyway?
To me, he was primed for a borderline breakout year, but it just hasn't shown up on the court so far.
Are we being unfair in this...?

We send him to the G-league earlier in the week. At least he will get some PT there.
Pro hoopers need PT just like a Lambo needs to be opened up on the road to keep it at peek performance. You leave it sit in the garage or the bench too long is asking for trouble.
At least Kessler is on a contract. DDJ is on a 2 way. I get a better feeling from them two then I did from Rodi and Musa.

Re: Nets v Hornets 7 PM
Yuta is playing hard and impacting the game where we hoped Kessler would've done....
I admit Kess had a letdown(in expectations) in summer league/preseason..... he needs to really be a knockdown 3pt shot in order to get a look.

I had high hopes for Kessler but he's not ready. Summer league + preseason were full of mistakes that are unacceptable at the pro level. Forcing passes into traffic. Not being able to dribble at all. Stalling the offense. His feel for the game just isn't there yet. It's night and day when you compare him to Yuta.
Kessler reminds me of that guy in pickup who's super athletic and naturally skilled but has no idea how to play 5v5 basketball.
I think he's a nice option to have in case of injuries or in case he actually puts it all together but I'm not mad at all that he's in the G League.
