    Super ~~rod~~ raw, but there’s a lot to drool over with his athleticism and size. Like they point out in the video it’s gonna be all about how hard he works and how often he gets to play over the next few years.

    If we keep Dame I doubt he gets much play time.

    Edit: well, talk to text won that round

    I hope he stays healthy because I think he can make an impact next season. Guys with his length, athleticism, and shot blocking instincts usually stick.

    Hoping he’s healed up from last year and can get significant experience with our G League squad.

    I really, really like Badji. I’m not sure if he’ll be ready to be a backup anytime this season. I’m not sure that Nnaji is any better than Badji. Really looking forward to seeing him in Vegas.

    Know it sounds crazy but beyond shaedon I’m most excited to see how his development pans out. He has a combination of athleticism, speed and size. Feels like the modern center “meta” If you will has shifted to skinnier, mobile, tall guys (with the exception of joker and embiid) but I feel like he has the perfect physical combo that still has a ton of muscle.

    In fact his build seems reminiscent of Giannis. If he can develop in to that kind of player, him Scoot and Shaedon have a really high ceiling for a big 3

    Start at 3:15 if you want to see anything besides dunks. I got a little worried there.

  8. All the potential in the world doesn’t matter if he’s always broken.

  9. Isn’t he only 2 weeks into a 8 week recovery for knee debriedment surgery? I wouldn’t expect him in summer league…though with a penetration guy like Scoot having Ibou rolling is just instant points for us.

    Unleash the Badji

    Can’t wait to see him in action I’m a believer

    Honestly wish badji and/or bari took minutes from TWat last season in games where we struggled with being undersized. Not a jab at TWat but man I just wanted to see badji play sometimes…

    Shot 19% on 16 non dunk attempts lol. Let’s hope he can develop that touch and shot
