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.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
