Huk is the perfect backup big for Thibs to mold. I think we got a good one in him. He fits Thibs needs as a big real well.

I like Huk way more than Skap. I love his defense. He can score in the paint. He rebounds. He can pass a bit on the inside.

Hopefully Kolek did not pull anything. He got up limping and holding his leg a bit after falling on a wet spot.

On the five count, players should throw the ball off the opposing players foot!

Between Sims, Hukporti and Skapintsev we have 3 centers who can be really quality backup centers. The question is will one of them become a legit high level backup, or are all of them just 3rd string caliber ?

Haven’t really watched game but Dadiet’s cutting points to a lots of good potential for me. Can’t put a finger on it but he has that inking of very good IQ matched with pretty good physical ability.

Could only watch 3 quarters, surprised that Skapintsev didn’t get any praise tonite. Was very active on both ends of the court. It’s SL, but he looked like a candidate for backup center if he plays like that in camp and preseason.

His screens are so clean. Will that translate when the speed of the game (the players bigger/stronger/faster) quickens?

I think he probably needs to get stronger, but he played down the stretch and was great on both sides of the ball.

Dadiet had a much improved game yesterday. Still can't hit 3's but his cutting made him still able to shoot a decent percentage.

Can't teach Kolek's court vision and feel for the game. He's going to be a solid pro.

Skap can play. Maybe it's this summer heat wave making me see things but I see an NBA player who can give you 12-18 mpg off the bench. Skap sets good screens, grabs rebounds in his area, has a nice touch and he's an underrated passer. Had 2 nice dimes last night.

I haven’t watched enough of either, but the game I did watch was the one where Skap had 19 points,so right now I am Team Skap.
