Trying to temper my excitement 

But we may have hit on our first lottery pick in awhile.

 

Dude has shown flashes on D, with athletic blocks, running the floor well etc

 

Oh and he's 8-15 from 3 point range in the 3 games.

 

 

We wanted Kawhi, the best 3 and D in the league.  Well we may have drafted another really good one to be coached under a guy who coached Kawahi

This gentleman looks legit and I think it's fair to say it's not too soon.  

If we start by giving Miles, Malik, and Willy all over 18 min/gm min, they will be as effective as the starters and we could rack up some wins this season.  Would love to see Graham in sprinkles by mid-season if Parker is showing his age.

I feel like he's been everything that we always hoped MKG would be

Full disclosure...  the similarities in scouting reports was the exact reason I did not want to pick him and was extremely disappointed when we did, as I thought due to our history with athletic, defense-first, hustle-until-you-develop guys would dictate that he wouldn't pan out...

I am happy to report that I am ecstatically eating heaps of crow as I type this.  Miles is the real deal.  I remember talking with one of my friends who is a NYK fan, and he optimistically said he thought Bridges could end up like Larry Johnson, while our history led me to skeptically point to Anthony Bennett.  So far, he looks a lot like LJ...  First rookie to be really excited about in a long time.

Also, I wasn't super excited about Borrego's hire either, compared to some of the names that were out there (Fizdale, Stack, etc.), but man, I think we got that move right too for the first time in a long time (or ever).  Just hearing his strategy, philosophy, and views about the team presently and moving forward (including playing the best players and getting shots up in the first 8 seconds or so of the shot clock) just gets me hyped.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
