Musa kicking ass in the G-League.. love it. I think he will get more playing time with the main team after trade-deadline.

He's only 19.

Musa looks a lot like Doncic out there, if he can even be half of Doncic that will be a great great pick by Marks.

Musa was 205 coming into the draft so that's some decent progress.

Musa is such an intriguing prospect. He's a right hand shooter, but you watch his dleague clips and he seems to be more comfortable driving left.

yes, he shoots with his right hand, but does everything else with his left hand

i saw the other day kenny atkinson compared him to danilo gallinari and thats exactly comparison i used to make when speaking of dzanan musa... damn good comparison

Excited to see him on the big club. saw 2-3 games of his in the D-league but its so hard to judge... D-league is better then it was but still a terrible gauge... full of dinosaur okafor-like bigmen and super short gaurds.

I think the biggest thing for him will be his approach. Big part of why Rodi was so successful is because he plays like he belongs and has 0 fear. hopefully musa has some of that in him

I think most difficult part will be defense for Musa. Rodi had a motor and length defensively and it took awhile for Kenny to put him in there.

Musa will probably back later this week or next, but I'm not sure he'll jump Pinson or Creek just yet unless the lack of another scorer just really bites us in the upcoming games.

The guy is in my avy so I'm rooting for him. I hope he has some playmaking skills. If all he has is scoring, then he has to be a legit 3 point threat, or he might not get consistent rotational minutes.

Don't really think offense will be much of an issue he will him once he finds his groove. He'll have inconsistencies there, as most young guys do, but he's long, he can drive left and right, can finish left or right, can pass, and he can shoot.

The key for him is to have the motor to help rebounding wise and defensively to stay on the floor on the days his offense isn't going. He also needs the mental awareness to understand what is expected of him

heres dzanans highlights from last night, nice all-around game for him... you can clearly see versatility in his game, driving both left and right, cutting to the rim, running the fast break, shooting from perimeter, making plays...

Been saying how ridiculously skilled Musa is as an offensive player. When his body and experience catches up to that skill...watch out.

He looked good there. Wonder if he gets a shot at actual rotation minutes soon.
