Makes sense for Knix to actually have one SF who can play defense ...
If nothing else, could be useful situationally when you need a stop.
I haven't seen MKG much in the last 2 years.
But he's a hard worker.
Probably could use a more coherent team than the Knix to try to get his O on track.
But the op is there, since he just needs to beta out Knox really.

MKG couldn’t find offense in Dallas. It doesn’t really get more coherent than under Carlisle in Dallas.

MKG will be very useful in showing Knox, Obi, and Randle where they need to cleanup their games so they fly against good individual defenders.

It would take a move that causes shakeups to open up a floor role for him.

Does look like we got Bo's first rounder for free, doesn't it (MKG = Okoro)?

And still get the offensive talent.

Heh.

Leon over Bo.  But it's early

Just strap MKG to ObiT's back and turn them around as needed.

Okoro wasn't my choice at all.
And if Okoro is only MKG, then he went way too high.

I still don't get the Toppin pick.
- a one position guy in a multi-position league.
- a weak defender who can't switch in a switch-everything league.
- our one legit starter is basically the same player, an offensive PF who plays one position with poor D.
- also 22 which means that he's not the raw risk Franc/Knox were, but also less ceiling. 
- Lastly wings and G's and shooters are where the action is, and you can pick up a solid C cheap and a decent PF relatively easily.  But valuable 3&D switching wings and scoring PG's are golden and harder to get.


As for Knox, there's a player in there.  But he's young and maybe it's a Euroleague player.  At least MKG will push Knox in practice.  Knox needs to be more physical.  And more alert on D.  To me, it's pretty clear Franc isn't a PG and isn't a starter.
Knox still could become a starting SF.  But he has a lot to improve on.  Needs to take a step forward this year.  Maybe all the Kentucky love will help him.  Might be a 2nd contract guy at best.   Kind of an enigma for now.

Yeah.  May have been C Stern that was more bullish.  My bad.  I rushed that one.

Looks like the trump admin thread got locked somehow. Must be making way for the Biden admin thread now all the election challenges have failed.

Does Taj have a team yet?

Fac-I thought I got locked out as a punitive measure.

Josh seems to enjoy pontificating knowing he won't get any blowback.

Well, I went there once, and 80% of posts were from Chamaco Cartero.
Never went back, I enjoy laughing at Chamaco, but he's enough in small doses and that was one motherfucker overdose.

Out of jail & back on tour! I might have been in your splash zone, Banks. Rudest thing I did all day was a low res animation.

Seems Pope Josh needed the last word after all.

He closed the Trump Forum with a final post chastising me for not being sufficiently rigorous in his faith, and not ascribing to his covid conspiracy theory.

Praise be
