Welcome, Noel!

Good pickup at a position of need if we're serious about competing. He's on a 10-day, so who knows whether he sticks. If he can, and if he can get back to his former self, he brings defensive upside to our 2nd unit.
Some people really have a way with words. Other people... not... have... way.

Move typical of our reactionary front office.

Who said we were tanking?

No, it looks like Ben's knee and back will keep him out longer than initially expected.

Yall are gona hate this man very soon.

The good, he can get flashy blocks but the bad is so overwhelmingly bad. He can't rebound to save his life, he can't box out, his hands might as well be stone, has no offensive game.

You'd be better off getting someone that can rebound. I'd prolly take him over Hartenstein tho, he's so completely useless.

hopefully at 10-15 minutes a night (at most) he won't butcher things worse than we already are with our small ball lineups :lol:

Not expecting him to set the league on fire with his ability, but I am expecting him to be serviceable at a position of need. If he can give the team Ben Simmons type numbers defensively we gucci lol.
OKC Thunder fan, too.
