We gotta bring in some more big guns while he's in his rookie deal. I have visions of RJ/Randle pounding you on both sides of the ball for years to come and its making me warm and fuzzy. Someone hold me

i think that’s a job for frankie smokes

“We tanked for a marginal player”. Lol

feels like his floor is close to max level 2-way bucket getter with his upside being some kind of Jimmy Butler type.

He's an extremely likable kid

I know it's pathetically old school, but I just hate that he stands and does the MJ pose after every three. 60% of those shots aren't falling. Would it throw off the follow-through all that much to just move in there and grab a long rebound once in awhile?

I'm still overly giggly happy that we have him and Bullock killing people along with Randle on the perimeter.

Is it a "pose" or just part of his follow through that (apparently) appears to be working? Whether "posing" or not, I don't recall too many people moving in after letting off a 3 pointer to go after long rebounds but I'll start paying more attention. I suspect there not much difference between what RJ is doing and what anyone else shooting 3s is doing who is not "posing."

Like I said, I'm still glad RJ's ****'s falling at the rate it is.

I honestly don't give a **** what anyone else is doing; following one's shot is only done now in and around the paint. It's the same everywhere. Just the way things are now in big business.

Like I said, I'm still glad RJ's ****'s falling at the rate it is.

I think Hanlen said part of the reworking of RJ's shot included changing the positioning of his elbow and the flicking of his wrist. Also, teams don't value offensive rebounds the way they used to. The emphasis is more on transition defense these days.
