We need to make a big splash in free agency or trades. Chad Ford is right. We didn't get better last night.

Masai is signalling Raps are standing pat. Get ready for another 1st round knockout.

Does he remind anyone else a little of Jonathan Bender?

This is going to be fun if they get the Open Gym crew following him. I think he will have a fun personality as he adapts to Canadian and NBA life. Maybe his English will be poor, but I can't wait for the behind the scenes training they could show.

I don't know how much development can happen over a summer and training camp, but I can still see him stealing 10-15 mins come the regular season. We need to approach things a bit like Milwaukee and just let him have some court time.

Give this kid a nutritionist, personal trainer and personal chef ASAP!

It's pretty clear making the playoffs this year has done jack**** to whatever long term plan Ujiri had in place.

there seems to be a camera near him in those pics.. and NBAXL producer tweeted a pic with #OpenGym.. so I am guessing it will be made into a special!

What if this kid turns out to be better then Wiggins, Parker in 4 years... Like everyone I was surprised with the pick, I didn't like it at first, but I trust Masia who has worked allot with basketball without border scouting and Barbosa's scouting then Kelly and BC... So I'm giving this kid a chance.... Besides 6'10 7'7 reach for small forward is insane ...

I kind of like the wait. I don't know if you're old enough to remember the rawness of T Mac in his rookie year. He never saw the floor, but just watching him in warm ups you could see he was on another level athletically. Watching him develop from a teenage athlete into a phenomenal basketball player right before my eyes was a lot of fun. Should be fun again this time.

This. I was on the T-Mac wagon early. I remember thinking he outplayed Vince in our first ever playoff series.

I hear ya. I remember Vince's rookie year. Me and my brother always said T Mac was the better player. A lot of writers and commentators said the same. Vince just had so much more hype. Anyway, it's cool to have a kid on the team again who we can watch grow up. Hope he's the one who finally stays.

Not agreeing it'll happen but Wiggins and Parker could flop and be career bench players. In that situation Bruno would only need to be an average starter to be better, so it's possible :wink:

Do you like the pick?
