JaKobe needs to be on the floor the last 30 seconds of every quarter.

Walter!! He’s a natural man. Just needs seasoning.

Most impressive part of that play is the catch.

Yes..when Dick or Ja'Kobe lap him?

He'll be a fine backup SG/SF...even a spot starter..

Beyond that? I'm not buying it. But hey if he can get up to the level where his overall play is acceptable in a starting position that would be nearly a FVV level win for the team..but I'm not seeing it.

I think he currently fits the roster really well with his size and skillset. I trust his decisions on both sides more than most guys on this team. And he will make his shots.

Again, he’s not ready yet but I can see him turning into a Danny Green type role player one day.

I can see what youre saying

Is Battle more talented or a better player than Dick Jakobe Abgaji Martin etc? No

Is he elite in one of the biggest skill in the game today? Yes

Pretty telling that Chomche is already a better option that Castleton....

The defense is great but we already knew they drafted defenders… need to see offensive development. You can’t win games in the nba with just defense… pacers made it to the finals being primarily an offensive first team.

Chomche might get rotation minutes this year.

Chomche very nice solid minutes in the first quarter. He is a keeper and so young

Even after that terrible quarter, they're somehow only down 4.

Need to see CMB in at least one half court set he's a part of.

Shead still making dumb over aggressive fouls...i dont know about this overplaying defense, smart teams beat this easily with fakes and backdoors

Yea but the point still stands no?

Elite defence can still put you in a hole if your offense is not up to par

I'm not sure offence and shooting is something that can be developed for everyone
