Outside of the T-Rex style wingspan and maybe uber explosion, Dadiet got everything you want in a prospect. He looks really nice.

Way early but wouldn’t surprise me to see Kolek get more NBA minutes than Dadiet.

My point is absolutely that I figure Kolek to get more minutes than Dadiet this year. Kolek is older, more ready, and as a back up playmaker would serve a more pressing purpose than another (very raw) wing.

Of course I don't really know andthen there is the matter of defense. And injuries. And trades. And who knows....

Kolek was always going to have a better chance to get more minutes. Dadiet was labeled a project from the beginning. It is partly why there was questions on if he would be a stash pick.

His wingspan is actually neutral, or little bit +. Years of Jay Bilas grooming have us all thinking that anything less than a +5 wingspan = being a failure at life. Wally only has a +3 wingspan and Rebecca seems OK with it.

Rumor has it his wingspan is girthy.

New sentence.

Not a ton, but some. IQ, Deuce, Mitch. While not value picks, Barret and Obi are NBA players. Knicks have never had a Euro pick pan out . They stash indefinitely. And then there's Frank

Really? I heard he has to over compensate with his Lamborghini. Something small enough to make his wingspan look bigger than it is. Now that Phil Jackson... Big wingspan energy.

Frank Ntlikna had a great wingspan. I think a wingspan is more important in boxing but I think a 6'9"" player can be ok with a 6'9"" wingspan. Didn't we have a Ukrainian shooter a few years ago whose wingspan was like 6'6" and he was 6"7" tall, how does a negative wingspan happen ???

You have some guys with craniums disproportionate to the rest of their body. So you might have a guys measure out 6'4, but he should really 5'11".Also you have dudes with really narrow backs and shoulders that throw off their wingspans. Genetics be crazy.

Dadiet had some nice defensive stops but looked like Knox on offense with the air balls and wild drives. Rokas was meh. Had some dumb turnovers but we got to see more of him. Should be invited to training camp either way.

Kolek looked as expected. Ideal skillset for that bench unit. Toppin looked good too.

Yes - at first glance Hukporti looked grounded (firmly to the ground) - wasn't impressed again at first glance. Rokas looked like a turd.

Dadiet going to chalk up to nerves and age - Kolek looked very natural manipulating space and lanes for teammates to get open.

I don't know how to analyze advance stats like the defensive metrics that smart people use to say someone is a good defender. But in college was Kolel statistically a decent defender ?
