Has he missed a shot all year?

It’s the glasses, right?

There's that, his "handsome, but could be mean" looks and his frame. He looks strong and fit. He may be the Anti-Yabusele

Scored his first points of the season tonight. Think he played a whole 10 minutes on the year before tonight

Just remember who believed in this kid when his time to have a Kolek like breakout comes along. I still stand by my previous stance that this kid is the 2025 1st rounder that the Nets think they got from us. I wouldn't be surprised if he's ready for the 3/4 backup spot after the trade deadline. I like the future of this team, we could potentially keep this thing rolling after our current starting 5 age out. Kolek/Deuce/McCullar/ Diawara/Huk could potentially be a part of our future core 5 years down the road.

I bleed orange and blue for life.

Yabusele looks like he is stumbling and bumbling all the time. Diawara shows flashes but then doesn't do anything. Dadiet looks like a little kid playing with his older brothers and friends. It's gotta be Diawara to with him at least he can switch on defense and run a fast break. Dreadful, moribund, disappointing play by Gershon. Man get some Ozempic !

Diawara is going to be good, him & Kolek are the only ones I had/have confidence in out of our young group. Kolek puts guys in good position, he got some of our no name guys easy dunks. Something no one else has been able to do. He makes everyone better.

Yabu just flat out conned us, we need to move him for someone that can actually help because we are very thin upfront. He had a sequence in the 1st quarter that was just comically bad, he was unplayable even when we're down 6 guys.

Jemison Over Yabusele all day. We need to find a way to move yabusele. Is he absolutely lost in Mike browns system? Or was he really never good at all and just got PT on a terrible 76ers roster .

The real story tonight and the cup games is the emergence of Kolek… this guy is a absolute baller, he is so good to have on the court with or without the captain… you can tell he’s learned a lot from Brunson and when there on the court together it’s like your getting a double dose of Brunson. Ones a mvp and the other can score like him and is a pure pg getting everyone involved.

This kid is really earning his minutes. He’s a great team player, and is a QB out there … sometimes we struggle with ball movement and this kid is the answer to that issue …

Super happy for Kolek especially when a lot of us wrote him off as having no bag.

Absolutely - #1 because Deuce isn't and has never been a PG.

Also - there are plenty of opportunities where we can play small with Kolek/Deuce/Clarkson with 2 other bigger players.

Also - if Deuce or Clarkson having off night or is injured 1 plays less and next guy steps in.

Beautiful thing we are seeing now and tough on opponents is that we can hurt you at any given time with any # of players - JB/Kat/Mikal/OG/Hart/Deuce/Clarkson/Kolek - even Mitch on boards --- anyone can get hot at a given time or have a big game. Tough to plan for.

Didn't we just have The Kolek game, literally the game before...

That 1 I didn't remember for generations but you may be correct.

Kolek looks less "buff" then in college. He looks leaner, smaller muscle mass...Call it "streamlined"? Not saying he was heavy, but had that "laxBro" build. At this level he had to be quicker. He is doing it. Loved the read to get the screen from Huk and do his thing in the paint. Very Brunson like.

Could make Deuce expendible? Love the kid but its about getting something in return that would fill another need. His contract and level of play is a value asset. Paired with Mitch your getting closer to 20 mil salary. Or Using him and dumping Yabu for a Portis type (He makes 13mm). Not quite a match but POrtis off the bench would work in the role. Just spitballing here. Im not thrilled about losing deuce but the path to a chip might be without him.


As for Yabu? its unfortunate. Not that 5mm is a big number but we need all players at all levels in synch if we going to make a legit run.

Kolek, Yabu, 3 cheerleaders for cap purposes for the Greek.

That sounded more real than he sometimes comes off and really good to know how highly he thinks of Kolek as a SCORER which I don't think most of us have thus far. Kolek must really be showing some scoring chops in off-season, workouts and practices that we've only seen flashes of thus far.

Somewhere there is a thread KOLEK HAS NO BAG and that was a concern of mine --- but we only get to see the limited minutes thus far -- kid is obviously tough, confident and I guess that BAG is growing daily now.

He looks like Mike Brown's kid to me - same face to a degree.

Thing with Jemison that jumps out is the sturdiness, the physicality -- kind of old school limited offensive player but he's going to set great screens, contest, box-out, defend post and just bring some physicality we lack. Hopefully we find someone more seasoned but at least this kid brings it when he gets a chance. Huck sometimes looks too soft now and hacking/wacking too often.

Kind of hoping Dadiet just needs time - maybe even 2-3 years to come out of his shell and develop confidence - I think the talent/game are there but he's not confident and not playing the American style (offensive aggression with the ball) to this point.

Diawarra style is likable - always shows effort, some ability to get by people and gadget arms. Needs time an proper development.

Yaba-buty looks like a large turd.

Kolek looks like he has gotten stronger. He’s not getting pushed around by defenders anymore.
