WCJ is our new starting C. He's so smart and always in good position.

MCW is embarrassingly bad.

I gotta go to sleep at half cuz work at 7. I live in deland and work in mt dora.

I like WCJ. He doesn't do anything exceptional as someone said. But he does many things above average. Bamba had the build of a unique center. Hit he's pedestrian. Bacon is useless.

My 1 half impression.

Even I knew he was going to pump fake. Come on guys.

To not be down by over 30 is pretty crazy.

So the center rotation is this...

Birch first 5-6 minutes of Q1 and Q3
Bamba last 6-7 minutes of Q1 and Q3
Bamba first 2 minutes of Q2 and Q4
Carter last 10 minutes of Q2 and Q4

It's just so goofy to play three guys at one position.

I am really not trying to be too crazy here but WCJ reminds me of Horford. Just really smart can shoot it. Defensively not there yet

This isn't the first time you've made this comparison and it's just not even close. Okeke's guide hand comes off the ball earlier than any player I've ever seen.

Klay's hand doesn't come off until about here, MUCH later than Okeke's. Okeke's guide hand is barely on the ball period.

It does when he releases it, or at least the videos I've seen of his shot.

I really don’t care if it’s goofy I just want to see Bamba and Carter play

Last Guardian · Post #175 » by **Last Guardian** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 3:06 am

Yea WCJ pretty much can do what Birch does but better and bigger. Bamba as the backup.

RookieStar · Post #176 » by **RookieStar** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 3:07 am

I hope that I would get to see a Okeke Wcj Bamba lineup and see if it can work

I think Carter Jr. will continue to win people over. I never saw him as a throw-in. He's already a good player who isn't far away from being a legit above-average type starter imo. Just needs to continue to build confidence and stay healthy.

He's going to be a really good player for us imo.

I need to remember this every time I see him blow a layup or clank a wide open 3... :lol:

I mean... almost every player in the NBA only has one hand on the ball when they actually release it from their fingertips.

But I've never seen anyone take their guide hand off as early as Chuma does.

He has the tools to be good, smart defender. Still new system for him.

As for the Horford comp, it's not lazy. It's what everyone was using pre-draft. I think it's spot on. Once he gains more trust on offense, and he can get more aggressive, he'll be really good for us.

He's also always in the right position. He can be a really good rebounder. Unfortunately, he's undersized, 6'9.
