When Kira grabs the board and races down court to throw a lob to Mitch or kick out for an open 3 to RJ or Bane you won't be worried about Vassell's form in Sacramento.,,,,and you will like it.

The rookie is already a better shooter, passer and defender so not sure how he will beat him out unless he comes back improved in all those things.

If we aren’t trading for Melo then just trade down or try to snatch Levine. Maybe we can peer him with RJ and Mitch.

Looks like the Spurs will have their guy available at 11 after all.

If the Suns do indeed grab Kira at 10 looks like Phoenix will be indeed be your team out West. :lol:

The same as it was in college. Guys can get into better shape and add weight, but they’re not gonna become a dead eye shooter during this break. Methinks some of these Twitter scouts need their report cards brought out.

The scouting report has been updated. He’s a good mid range shooter.

6+ months is a lot of time to work on your shot

look at RJ for example, his forms looks different than it was last season. Vassell too, unfortunately for the worse. RJ Hampton, for the better

theses players are putting in work to get ready for the NBA and boost their draft stock. w/ shooting being the main concern with Okoro, hard to imagine he hasn't made that a priority in his workouts
