Farewell From Charlotte: Arnoldas Kulboka (leaves team)

I don’t know mate - a LOT of his pass attempts seem to be more flashy than fundamental!!

And I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that he’s into The Weeknd and Bad Bunny.

He might be an American basketballer wannabe wolf dressed in Euro pure basketball savant lambs clothing.

And his hair isn't nearly long enough

I think I spoke a bit too soon about Arnie. He's a train wreck on defense. But definitely still intriguing with his quick release and off-ball movement.

for those who watched SL this year, is Arnie going to be Euro Frank Kaminsky?

Interesting question.

From my perspective Arnie moves much better and with more purpose than Kaminsky did. It seemed to take Kaminsky time to wind up and try to do anything. There were times where it felt like Kaminsky would plant his foot and pivot for what seemed like an eternity.

Arnie looked like he moved with more purpose, more fluidly and he also showed some flashes of great creativity with his passing.

Arnie’s face is a lot less punchable than Kaminsky’s as well.

I think Kaminsky's biggest issue was his own confidence. He was actually good when feeling it but would miss lay ups when he was not. Ahh well.

He's in the Duncan Robinson / Doug McDermott / Davis Bertans mold. Tall and not very athletic but is smart and can shoot.

If he can average 8/3/1 in 15mpg that would be great.

His defense is some of the worst I saw in all of summer league.

His shooting, size, feel for the game give him a chance but teams are going to score at will against him and Im not sure where you can hide him.

He's kind of the anti-Simmons, can't defend but can shoot it from anywhere.

Imagine a world where the Swarm didn't lose every game :lol:

he just never found a way to fit in with the North American game. still has skills, but I guess he didn't have the athleticism to blossom in Greensboro. more time for Scottie Lewis, I guess!

Just in case he randomly blows up do we still have his rights?

Hornet Mania · Post #159 » by **Hornet Mania** » Mon Jul 4, 2022 6:01 pm

He was the longest tenured member of the Hornets if you count holding his rights as being a member of the team.

I feel like Brady Manek is a better prospect than him anyway. Actually somewhat intrigued by him, could be a good bargain basement rookie.

Kulboka's just not gonna be able to guard anyone...was fun watching an annual highlight video of him for those few years he was overseas. Have fun back over there sir.
