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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
