Anyone else think the halfcourt offense by the starters looks like sh*t?

Transition looks good though.

The secret is you play 19 players and your chance of finding a gem in a rough increases



Averaged 9.5ppg in 28 games last season with the Nets, 6'7" with a 7'1" wingspan. This is the exact type of player you want on your bench and on a 2way.


Between Pacome, Kolek, Diawara, McCullar, Tosan and Huk, one of them becoming a roleplayer off the bench would do wonders for us in the short & long term.

Would like to see Mike Brown incorporate some post ups for KAT. The way he’s using him is like a wing instead of a big imo.

Just in his brief minutes dude's game is light years ahead of Pacome, and even Mcccullar Jr.


Player development was what the front office wanted so let's see if Brown can make something outta this kid. His length at 6'7 and handle really stands out here.


He's 4 years older than Dadiet, not that Dadiet will ever catch up. McCullars is already 22 or 23, right?

*edit: McCullars is already 24, same age as the Princeton guy.

That's his competition to make the team next year, along with Diawara.

Hopefully French Knox is already gone.

Not much to take from a game against one or two NBA starters. The Timberwolves game should be a better test.

Flurry of snarky posts deployed.

I need only two preseason games, not three, to be ready.

Hukporti is so fast that I confuse him and Diawara when both are on the floor. Both tall, fast motors.

It helps that you keep up the consistency during the off season. A true professional is always ready

Didn't see game (or boxscore - Espn tardy). Curious, anyone think we see Mitch take a 3 pt shot this season under Brown? (remember all those summer off-season vids of him shooting).

some nice flashes and spurts as the coaching staff threw **** at the wall to get a look. based on what i saw, my bench would be: brogdon/clarkson/hart/yabusele/hukporti

I think this should definitely be a wrinkle in the offense.
