Plays with a lot of swagger. Did a Melo "3 to the head" celebration. That should be a disqualifier lol.

Seriously, IDK if he can take that swagger from a gym to MSG, and produce. We'll see.

His footwork, strength and balance reminds me of G-League Brunson. Don't expect him to make the team, but it gives the Summer League roster a competent vet and it gives him more exposure to over seas teams.

I'm assuming Kolek, Dadiet, Hukporti and McCuller are all playing SL.

We should get a closer look at Beauchamp and Watson here too.

I’m guessing our starting 5 is Kolek, McCullar, Dadiet, Watson (or whomever we draft in the second round if it’s a wing/forward) and Hukporti with Nnaji splitting center minutes with him. Should be a fun group. Last year’s SL team was fun.

Douchey.

That’s my analysis.

He reminds me of ISO ZO

Love the confidence in that jumper. The only issue I see or question I have. Can he shoot and be productive off the ball? What does his jumper look like without dribbling into it? Other than that, he looks like a bucket.

NBL1 is the semi pro league for the NBL, "Gleague" development league for the NBL. Biwani puts up big numbers and might at age 23 be a sort of late bloomer? This is not the league that many get drafted from to the NBA.
He gets a change to shine in summer league and perhaps get a Gleague change would be my guess. Chasson Randle type?
Hope he is a revelation and the next mania to take the league by storm!!!!

Wow Dink Pate might be better than Diawara. Some sites had him as a top 40ish guy. Great upside signing. One of these guys will 2 way and other may be a stash - makes sense to keep Diawara in Europe and give Pate a 2 way and another G League year if we like him.
