We should stop putting the ball in Rillers hands and let Bouknight close.

Welp, if we're gonna forget how to play basketball it might as well be in the last 30 seconds of the game.

Just when I was thinking maybe Lewis can take Cody Martin's spot this year, he puts up that Q4.

That was the sort of cringe that I haven't missed.

Thor looks damn good, and Lewis preQ4 also looked really good.

Kai's worst game by a large margin.

I'm going to pretend like I'm not scared that Bouknight looks incapable of going ISO off the dribble, which I thought was his biggest strength.

Kai finished with 16 boards and still ended up a net negative.

I think he does well in ISO situations, however it’s his lack of strength that’s holding him back now. That is going to be a key part of his development.

I mean there were 3 or 4 times where he lost his handle against pressure. I thought he was all about going head down and beating his man, but he's looked shook against any sort of ISO pressure.

Dutch Gaitley might need to update his resume.

Scottie Lewis is also the dumbest basketball player I’ve ever seen.

Bouknight had a very weird few games. Sometimes he looked great, and other times someone could tell me he was undrafted and I would've believed them. He isn't as good a prospect as Monk was. His success will depend on what's between his ears.

Kai is...well he tries. I think he has good ideas, but he is out of control a lot. He really needs to hit the weights too. He had the ball under the rim multiple times yet couldn't make anything of it.

Thor has a shot to be a good 3&D player I think. Scottie...eh I doubt he is any better than Martin.

This is definitely a boom or bust draft for us. Not sure if I lean more towards boom or bust as of now.

I think its obvious Kai won't try any of the step back 3's and Iso drives in the regular season, he was just trying stuff out

I'm impressed with his ball catching and finishing ability, if he can do that and keep it up on defense, then he will be fine his rookie year in a rim running role
