    I'm glad Mark Williams is back but for the regular season not the preseason and that's good for him

  8. @charliesmarts1

    Let Mark have a full month before game action please. No need to rush him. Treat him like the 76ers treated Embiid early in his career.

    Any reminders in Doug’s diary to APOLOGISE for picking scoot over Brandon? 1 year or 2, what do you need doug ? 😉 ❤ great show as always. 😊

    You complain about no love for Tidjane. But you didn’t gave any one month ago.
    He is not a sleeper as he is the number 6 pick.
    For the moment, he’s a 3&D guy. His 3 are over my expectations, but his D is still limited cause Coach Lee asked him to « slow down ».
    I don’t know how long it will take, but when he will get the green light to use his athlétism at 100%, I ‘m pretty sure that it will be a nightmare for the guy in front of him. He is built to be one of the only NBA player who can handle the physicality of a guy like Gannis.
    If you add the development of his handling, he is still a WIP. But I will do like him: full trust on the coach instructions to improve his game.
    I remember this old sentence about basketball player in US which said.
    As a kid, you play for your mom. At college, you play for your coach and in NBA, you play for your contract.
    He is French and a guy like him plays only for his coach. His coach is the only one who can say if he play good or bad.

    The Tidjane thing doesn't bother me, just because of where he was drafted. It would be easier to call him a "steal" if he had fallen in the draft or had just been picked where he was projected.
    Picking him early didn't set him up well to be labeled a steal this early on. He would have to be absolutely killing it to the point that the national media were paying attention, and he hasn't quite done that.

    It's strictly a sicko Thang, for now, but a couple years from now with the potential we all see and his reported work ethic, everyone else might start catching on.

    Aller Hornets!!
