I do think Brown and the team held Diawara back towards the end of the season so he didn't get too expensive. I fully expect him to be a regular rotation piece, especially if we lose Shamet.

Dadiet still has 2 years on his contract.

I wonder if Pacome gets time at the 3 and Mo at the 4 and 5. They play different styles. Maybe Dadiet is in the plans to replace Josh in a few years. I wonder if McCuller is someone the team sees as a keeper.

Mo and Shamet are very different players. I don't think one's playing time affects the other.

Good signing. Kid needs to get stronger, continue to improve his handle, and just gain experience, but he looked very good when he played last year. He is probably our best long-term prospect of all our 1-3 year players. I hope he develops like we expect and can turn into a starting caliber player. That would help this team stay competitive for another 4-5 years as Brunson and KAT age.

Agreed. There was a point shortly after his come out party vs the C’s when he man handled Jalen brown. We started limiting his minutes knowing we gotta lock him up .

I see him having a big bench role . I have my fingers crossed for zuby and tarris reed jr.

The length of our 3-5 off the bench would be insane . Also I think we are underestimating PAC. He’s really good as well and can play the 2-4


Kolek is ready to take on a role as well, I love Jose but Kolek can be the keys to unlocking these kids.

Super excited to see what happens at the draft tonight .. hoping we land zuby !

locked him up before anyone else could even talk to him.

Hell of a deal, this kid is special. The way he locked up brown in that Celtics game was eye opening. This kid has star potential. A true 3 & d with superior length. But he’s even more than that as he can handle the ball and has great court vision.

A true future cornerstone. Thinking he breaks out this next year, he could be the talk of the town if he takes a step forward like we think he will.

As of right now

Kolek
McBride
Mo

We have 2 more shoes to fill.

Mitch ?
Shamet ?

Picks ?

The future has never been brighter ! Not only are we the champs but this organization has become a blueprint for the nba on how to build a championship caliber team.

Excited to see Mo get MO minutes in the regular season!

Priority # 1 Done!

I love how this FO operates

Main thing he needs to work on is his shot. But that can be improved. Everything else I have no worries it will al come along. His defense, rebounding etc

Get him upfitted with some Zach Randolph booty cheek implants and coat his palms with Moses Malone-grade sticky dust and he's good to go

Diawara is coming back!
