Geometry: The Frank Kaminsky Thread

Y'all need to stop throwing Jordan in this fire despite what them media hicks wanna make you believe to make it more interesting. This is all Cho. And it's honestly not that bad. It just make the previous two lottery picks look bad.

He was the only prospect I didn't want us to draft. The ONLY one - and we had to go ahead and draft him.

I would have rather taken Winslow (obviously) or reached for Grant, Turner, Booker, Payne, Oubre, Portis etc. Heck, I would have been more comfortable reaching for Upshaw at #9 than taken him.

But, I guess he's ours now so I have no choice but to support him - until he does something that allows me to vocally bash him.

So this is the last time I'll say it - I hate, hate, HATE this pick.

That said, all the best III.

Agree with that other than the fact that he's already done something for you to vocally bash him in his douchey twitter comments a year ago and refusing to work out with Charlotte. Screw this guy and screw this front office.

Go ahead, don't be shy, be more specific. Say the name.

They gonna pin this on MJ knowing damn well Cho make the decisions on draft night. MJ damn near wanted to strangle Cho for wanting Zeller the other year and ended up firing one of his best friends to let Cho run the show. They just refuse to believe that Cho not who they thought he was. Lmao

We better finish in the top 10 in 3s made next year. and top 15 in 3pt %. We better play fast and score a bunch, because we are not getting stops at the end of games.

I've been emailing Tom Sorenson back and forth through the draft.

He said tonight's column was easy to write.

Nothing boring about this pick. Lol. Just look at the hysteria.

Nobody wanted that nonshooting Dukie. Lol. I'm happy with Frank the Tank.

Sorenson said the rumor is MJ loves Kaminsky but I don't think Sorenson really buys it. Cho was at that Wisconsin game and is obsessed with Big Ten prospects.

Is Frank even better than Hawes? Our backup bigs are going to be Frank/Hawes. Actually, look at our second unit right now. Roberts, Lamb, Hairston, Frank, Hawes. That is seriosuly embarassing.

The constant dishing out the pu pu platter is wearing down their taste buds.

Frank the Tank is like General Tso chicken and white rice.

Exactly. We all knew Kaminsky was Cho's guy. They tried to trick themselves into believing Cho was there for Stanley Johnson. But nope.

Without Biyombo there to hold it down it is, if we let him go it will be the last straw for me. I'll be going over to the Wizards.

Hawes was a lottery pick a few years back. He wasn't a bust. He's a solid fringe starter good backup big. Frank the Tank gonna be better than Zeller for us in his rookie year. Bank or bet on it.

Big time denial over their savior, Cho. Johnson had a great run on the board early this summer. I vomited a few times. And yes Winslow can't shoot and I hated the fanfare for him as well but I would have preferred him to Tank.

I remember when we picked Cody. I didn't like him all that much, but I thought it might work out. Not too many options then. I HATE the tank pick. Winslow will be a heck of a player, a guy everybody but Cho idiot wanted. Cannot stand this guy (Cho). He passes on Winslow because he traded for his gay buddy Nic and doesn't want anybody getting in his way. When GM's or coaches reach backward for players from their old days and teams, you know you're near the end of the line.

Kaminsky will prove to be too slow to defend, run the floor, or hang with the newer NBA style of small ball 4's. He has skills, but they don't translate. Supposedly we missed McRoberts so much we're seeing Frank as replacing him in this year's team. They tried like crazy to deal Cody, so he probably comes off the bench. We may score more, but I fear we won't defend well enough to close games. That will translate into a worse record this season than last. MJ will fire Cho and Cliff, but the damage will be done. We'll lose Batum to free agency cause he won't hang around for a rebuild. The future seems darker tonight than it did this morning.

I couldn't resist joining in. Frank is OK but you can't pass on Winslow at 9.

I still think that bad offensive choices by Cliff will result in poor 3%.
