KBD might be our Achiuwa replacement.

I'm doing my research on the guy. He sees minutes guarding all 5 positions on the floor.

Thibs drafted him in Minny, he knows what he is getting. This FO is doing work!

Do we know if he’s healthy?

Per rotowire, he should be good to go by the start of training camp

I remember the Nets were asking for 2 1sts during the last deadline for this guy. Should be good depth.

Good depth. Basically one more guy Thibs can break before he has to release the Toppin

He shot 39% from deep (2,1 attempts) in the 22/23 season when he averaged almost 10 points/game.

This is bottom of the bench waste of roster spot. He’s already 28, not developing much more.

At least he's not Jeffries

They got Thibs his new Taj :lol:

Seriously though if you do a deep dive I think this guy Keita might break the rotation next year and gets minutes in both forward spots as a backup.

Seriously, the Nets had so many two way wings you could forget he existed.

He would be very serviceable if 3 or 4 gets injured. With OG's history, this is def a guy that can be valubable bench player

I could see him being Randle’s backup for 10-15 minutes a night and yeah if OG is out taking on more minutes at SF as well.

KBD is OG-lite!

People actually thought that Deuce was going out in this trade. Lmao.

If KBD is actually staying on the roster, his sole job is to make Super PAC Daddy's life a living hell in practice.
