Someone on Reddit said CMB gonna join this squad like KD joined the warriors :lol:

Im okay with being bad, just as long as the vibes are immaculate. I miss when this place was positive.

He played with poise and is impactful on defense. We should be giving him minutes and putting him in the GLeague in spurts. He's going to solve the back up C problem for us. He's better than the French kid drafted from the German league.

I thought he looked very good too but I would leave him in the g league for at least the first half of the season. Let him dominate the g league first and gain confidence.

A Florida Gators fans posted on reddit a while back and said Martin is liable to attempt to dunk on five guys at once every 3-5 games.

Had that on the back of my mind coming into this game and boy did that feel great.

It's like those random 24pts 14rbds 2asts 4blk on 10/11FG Poetl games you used to get every 7-10 games while he was with the Spurs.

Anyways! Everyone looked GREAT! I don't think we attempted or successfully ran a single play. We basically scored 90+ pts on defense without CMB who is coming in as our best defensive prospect.

I'll always cheer for the team that has every guy mauling every guy on the other team at all times and refusing to let anyone dribble.

And just think, we are adding a top 10 pick known for his defense to this terror squad.

Chomche looked as good as he was just before he got injured for the 905 last season. He was having games like that (with more blocks ) consistently in the second half of the 905 season and they were winning. Then he got injured and the 905 went free fall in the standings.

Thats exactly where he'll be unless Poeltl or Mamu get hurt, Castleton is getting cut

Chomche looked really good tonight. Only 19 which is crazy. That's extremely young, especially for a center. Imagine how good he'll be when he's 23-25.

Now imagine our defense once we trade Dick for Lively.

Martin with handles and PG skills would be an all star. I hope we put time into developing him.

Mogbo looks like a good wing player on defense. He'd excel as a back up C though.

Chomche is ready for 3rd string minutes. He will improve faster that way. We should rest Poeltl against weaker teams and give Chomche run.

Martin was great....He will be 24 this season though so he needs playing time soon...We can't spend time developing him Like we can Chomoche....So lets hope he can carve a role soon....Problem is we are stacked at SG and Martin looks like an undersized SG atm. If he were a PG that would change alot in terms of playing time.

We got far too many wings. I need to see Battle in the rotation next year but no clue how thats going to happen with our current roster.

IQ/ Shead/ Martin
RJ/ Ochai/ Walter
Ingram/ Battle/ Dick
Barnes/ CMB/ Mogbo
Poeltl/ Mamu/ Chomche

Ideally, Ochai would start with RJ as the 6th man but that won't happen unless we struggle out the gate.

I thought this coming into the offseason. Sadly there haven't been enough stars demanding out this offseason.

That's an awful idea.

Chomche is still learning basketball. Let him get lots of minutes with the 905 where his mistake don't matter near as much.

Plus we are in no position to be assuming wins against any team with talking of resting our guys lol.
