Not really sure why we made this move. Doc will never put this kid in an NBA game. Why bail on a 19 year that was balling out of his mind?

I understand the Saben Lee signing, but I dont understand waiving Foster Jr.
6’9” forwards like one of those Raps players are pretty valuable in today’s NBA. While there’s a huge surplus in guards and bigs.
I was hoping we try to accumulate a lot more 6’9” raps type players, all you need is to install the siakam offensive package (attack hard right, spin to left when denied; push off; euro step) and they’re good to go

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

I actually think he has similarities to SGA at least offensively. His game is getting into the paint and has an array of moves to get off shots while creating contact. In college, he was one of the best FTr guards of the class. His vision is better than someone like Maxey and he's probably similarily good at finishing at the rim. He's certainly not as fast. Like SGA, coming into the league, his 3pt shooting was largely a mystery. His form gave concerns. Unlike SGA, he hasn't figured out how to shoot from deep. His form is still a bit busted and lacks consistency.
I can't really speak to his defense because he plays G League ball. He was mediocre to below average while at Vandy and I gave him a bit of a pass since he was the entire offense on a dreadful team. Seems like he's generating steals though, which is nice.
All that to say, he has the skills, length, and athleticism to be an NBA player, but his shooting simply stinks. If that can ever been average, then he'll be a regular contributor in this league.

On pure talent, Michael Foster shouldn't have been the one who was cut, but finances and luxury taxes obviously are guiding the decisions at the back of the roster. There is a 1st rounder at the end of the roster, who shouldn't be in the NBA, but he has a guaranteed contract, so he keeps his job.

Maybe he did figure out the 3pt shot. Small sample size, but this year's G-League numbers are off the chart for him. 47% on 7.6 attempts per game. Only 7 games, so that's 25 for 53. Not a ton of attempts, but it is more than Embiid has all year, and as many attempts as Shake and Tucker have this whole season - combined.
