!!!!!

We have enough fire power so its not needed from the Ariel if he even makes the roster.
Can he defend the position reasonably? Kid looks like he 30 years old! Does he have the motor, the twitch, cuz our dudes rebound, get offensive rebounds, and hustle. The need not get points. WIth our starting 4, there will be plenty of openings. Our centers need not be great shot creators. Just catch the ball and finish!!!

Ariel assault — consider it a Nalod spelling

OT: you have more than filled the good joke void created w ToddTT’s recent grumpiness

I do like the big mermaid though.

Me...I'm looking at "Hukpo," "Incredible Huk," "AHuk," and things like that. Ariel Assault is actually pretty good, but the Ariel/Mermaid connection doesn't inspire fear.

2. Honestly I think he will be able to give Sims a run for first C off the bench... or at LEAST push Sims in practice to show up on low-post D.
3. I know its the Australian league but he does look extremely nimble from the short vid. I like how he has defended the switch on Guards on 2-3 occasions!
4. Hes a strong dude and hence another body to throw at Embiid!

Wait, do you follow the players in the German leagues? Any insight on Hukporti and Dadiet?

The MerMan?

The "MerMan" would be OK...The Manatee is OK for me, too, since they were supposedly mistaken to be mermaids, for some bizarre reason.

I'll call him anything he wants to be called if he's a serviceable big man.

I think I am OK at the center position and rolling with Mitch, Simms and Hukporti. Precious can also give you minutes there assuming he is re-signed.

If the Knicks try to get out of the first apron hard cap, there's a good chance The Big Mermaid's going to Brooklyn and might not be part of our center solutions. Will have to wait and see.

Sure, but Hukporti hast not spent much time in the German League actually.
Hes been in pro leagues in other countries since an early age.
He hast been in the Talent Radar in Germany at an early age. Been a physical early bloomer but also showed nice Speed and nimble feet despite his size.
As far as I can tell he also die not in Australia but Had a serious injury (achilles) which kept him Out a while.
But He came Back strong.
Hes a good rim runner, good rebounder but also die to Play Style never was a number one scoring Option.

On Paco... He played for a Team thats amazing developing young Players!
They are trusted and can Play through Errors but also the Team was successful!

Another great Talent coming from them is Juan Nunez the Guard which was drafted by San Antonio!
He will be GREAT with Wemby in the PNR. Whatch Out for this next season!

So Paco is a Natural scorer WHO IS super talented at His age. Effortless Jumper Out of the Dribbling! Good size and athleticism! Needs to grow in D thought!

I've seen Nunez tape. Really good passer out of the pick and roll with both hands. Real good vision. Reminds me of a slow version of Sergio Rodriguez. Not sure he's quick enough to stick in the NBA.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

Whenever a team becomes great they seem to hit when they make trades, when they draft, and when they pick up low risk players out of nowhere and turn that player into a key player. We can get this type of nowhere player if this center becomes a key player, we already have key players from trades, free agency and the draft. Team is due for such a player from Europe.
