A couple weeks later and it’s closer than you think.
In all seriousness Frank is a veteran at this point and can find his way out of this rut and hopefully soon. We need better play from our PF spot.

It's not. Frank is tougher, quicker, smarter and making the right plays on both ends of the court way more than not. No way you'd say any of that about Bender. He's in the G-league (like Jackson).

You can try to watch Shaqtin'A Fool. There is an airball FT in almost every 5 episodes.

I guess you've never watched the NBA.

Frank considered to play for Serbian national team. His granpa is also serbian. How you guys think he will fit with bogi, bjelica, jokic.. Probably mentioned somewhere here, Kokoskov is a new coach

Considered in the past or is he thinking about playing for Serbia now? I have not seen news about that.

Kaminsky is similar to Bjelica IMO. Both can shoot the ball, solid passers and are usually smart with the ball on their hands. Both have serious problems to finish around the rim because their lack of athleticism and are mediocre defenders at best... not rim protectors at all.
I think he can help Serbia. Solid player.

I think he's pretty good around the rim. He missed some bad ones last game, or maybe last couple, but he was very good before that...but he's at around 65% there.

It's obviously no Ayton, who is excellent there at over 73%, or Towns at 71%.
But like Saric is under 54%. Oubre you would think is solid, but he's under 65%. Bridges, incidentally, is at 64.5% at the rim. He should probably cut even more for now.

Re: Welcome Frank Kaminsky
Thats a deceiving stat... you eyetest this Shank, and he is not your go to guy in the post. Very mechanical, sometimes awkward, never dominant. He might abuse a mismatch, but belly up with a like sizer and he is mediocre as H.
Whatever... I pretty much just watch the Suns... so I hadnt seen that in a long GD time it seems.
I can hardly watch the TNT boys anymore. They are getting desparate for laughs and the hams are trying to entertain too much. Last I looked, they had yoga goats on.... WTF?

Re: Welcome Frank Kaminsky
I have a ton of respect for Kobe (as shown in my post in his thread) and what happened to him and his daughter is a horrible tragedy.
That being said, I hope every player that has changed and will change their jersey number in the future because of him does it based on their preference and not outside pressure. I personally can see both sides of not wanting to wear the jersey # out of respect for him and then wearing the jersey number to honor him. Kinda like how LeBron wears #23 for Jordan.
Honesty just knowing the mind of competitor that Kobe was, I don’t think he would’ve cared all that much about these jersey #s swaps and jersey retirements (besides the LAL one) and things of that nature anyway.
