What about his BBIQ? Is he just a big body or can he make the right decisions.

Word is he makes a mean BBQ, in particular pulled pork. He is big, so eats 3 or 4 servings but got the remote thermometer and Weber grill, so his decisions are most likely in line with that. (iow good.).

Ps - I had me some fatty beef brisket just last week

Do you think he is NBA ready? With iHart gone he may have a chance to play spot minutes right in the rookie season.

He's 22, so definitely NBA ready age wise. Doesn't seem to possess much offensive skill. But then again, neither does Sims

Hukporti looks better than Sims already. Let's see how he does in summer league & g-league. I'm guessing he's going to be putting up double doubles with ease.

Hukportapotty?

Seriously...watch this 2+ hour long film session if you want to see virtually anytime he's near the ball both good and bad. It may encourage you or dismay you depending on your expectations of the 58th pick in the draft,

Hukporti sounds like a Greek appetizer.

There is no word in Greek that sounds like this.

You know what, I think we found something with this kid. I don't see a raw prospect like what Sims was. He can rebound like a beast, run the floor well, can lockdown the paint and respectable in switches to the perimeter, has a pretty well rounded post up game and a little fader. I can't wait to see this kid play.

40 second mark.....

If Sims could get minutes as a rookie why couldn't he? Remember Sims was also the 58th pick.....

Well, Sims only got minutes in the last month, when the season was over.

There's some hope for Hulk Sporti. Compared to Sims, he actually has some basketball skills already like Dribbling 101, Post-Ups for Beginners and Baby Jumper Junior. Actually, that's compared to Mitch too now that I think of it.

His nickname is still evolving but, I think you're on to something here. Huktuah was a bit much. If he is terrible though, that one might stick.

If he bombs we'll flip it to Sporti Hulk so he can audition for the Spice Girls.

Lowry made the cut as Fatty Spice so anything is possible

I mean he was born literally in the corner of Germany in the port city of Stralsund. He is a Hick porter.

Just wondering, with a f---n French and a stupid German on the team, will they invade each other?
