It's clear Kai does not have it, despite how many videos he posts of himself in the gym on Twitter and Instagram jumping really high.
It’s been two seasons and we all knew he was a project before he was even drafted. He has shown flashes when on the court with better players. I’m almost certain the org will plan on using this season as his final evaluation to figure out if he’s got a future role on the team or not. They will probably do the same for Bouk too, but I don’t believe in Bouk’s attitude and while he’s super athletic he doesn’t offer anything else special like shooting, size, defense or basketball IQ.
On Kai, throwing a first round pick in the trash after two seasons when everyone knew he would take two seasons at minimum to get real minutes would be something else.
He's a third year guy that got torched by summer league UDFA's. He's not worth wasting a roster spot on at this stage. He's not going to magically get better. He's going to be the next Marcus Haislip.
I think it's a bit of a mistake to judge any of our players too heavily based on this train wreck summer league.
