He's Raw but the physical talent is enormous.. He can develop into every night Highlight film with Melo and even a allstar if he can get more technically sound with his post footwork  and ball handling.. Smarter defensively and keep making that outside shot (3 pointer) a reliable weapon..

He should've been playing with the big boys all year and getting minutes.  Instead, JB gave us the usual heaping dose of peaked vet in Plumlee.

No point in saying should've, could've, would've. He will get minutes next year along with Thor and Bouknight. Assuming none are traded.

Positives  He's quick as hell.  Appears to be a good defender.  Lots of potential.

Not saying he is Giannis but Giannis wasn't very big his first couple of season.  If Kai can bulk, with his quickness he could be a real find. 

Negatives

Kai's not going to dunk that this in the NBA.  The majority of his highlights are dunks against players that probably won't ever sniff the NBA.   It's nice to see him make a couple of three but those seem to be far in between.  Anyone know is 3 point percentage.

He needs to beef up. ALOT  He'll get pushed around by quality NBA big men.

He's improved a lot through out the season and it can be seen even from the highlights (it is way more visible when watching the full matches). I need him to be seeing the nba court next year to get more nba experience. Plus he's got a hell of a motor, improving really isn't a problem for him.

 

BTW it would be much appreciated if y'all go and give the video a like 🙂

Just going back and watching some of his full game highlights, I think Kai has the ability to make us all forget about Miles.

He really got better in the GLeague. So much so because of his height, defense, his put back ability, blocking, ability to run the floor, his scoring ability he should be in the running for starting PF this season.

I'd move PJ to the 3 to let him dominate smaller forwards. PJ can guard those guys and he does have the feet to keep up and enough length to make it difficult for a 3 and he doesn't have to guard bigger guys night in night out.

I'd put Bouknight at the 2 and just let him play, you've gotta let him get some run. Terry could back up the 1&2. 

Melo 6'7"

Bouk 6'5"

PJ   6'9"

Kai 6'11"

Williams 7'2"

I love the potential size and athleticism. My only disagreement (which isn’t really a disagreement because I want Bouk to play way more) is I can’t see us sorting Rozier on the bench. He’s too good to do that to him. But Bouk needs more minutes. I could accept trading Rozier because I think it could make sense. But I have a hard time wrapping my mind around not starting him if he’s on the roster. 
 

Everything else I’m with you on entirely

They overpaid an undersized 2 guard who should be playing his natural position PG which is Melo's spot. Smh.

Instead of wasting money on bringing in Kemba or IT. Terry should play that role.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
