    Hate this. Feels like we’re settling for “good enough.”

    He’s a super solid big! No brainer IMO

    He’s fine when Nurk is healthy and he’s only playing 10 min a game. It will be a disaster when Nurk gets his annual injury. Not sure why we’re assuming that backup center doesn’t matter on this team with Nurk’s history.

    I'm ok with it - wasn't expecting a lot from this spot - just some serviceable minutes.

    I like his fit offensively. I don't love him defensively, but it is what it is.

    If Nurk goes down, who were you hoping to fill in for us?

    Way better idea than robin lopez who can’t move anymore. He’s overmatched as a starter but still put up good numbers, so as a backup he’s more than fine.

    roster sucks tbh. You can not convince that this roster is better (on paper) than the roster we went into opening night last year

    Watford is a better option especially against small ball lineups.

    I'm sorry guys but this roster looks like an 7th or 8th seed roster.

    don’t think the plan was ever to fix it all in 1 year, so I’ll give them some slack. Most important part of this season is to hopefully see huge jump from our young kids (Simon, Sharpe and Little)

    I was banking on him as well. But we still need that C/PF combo guy.
