Today I learned Moose is a dawg! Hopefully the back pain is his final growth spurt.
Moussa 100% deserves to be the third center, and I hope he gets like 20 games of play this season so he can develop more and be ready for full-time backup next year.
Thought he looked off, I knew he was sick or something, still one of the best players on the SL roster at his worst.
You’re not a real Clipper if you’re not playing at least slightly banged up.
I haven’t watched too much of the summer league games, but I saw one play where the moose went coast to coast and was impressed with his speed and handles for his size. To add to it, he’s affecting most shots in the paint. Kid is going to be solid for us imo
I’m happy he’s been able to play but I also wish he’d take it back a bit too. It’s the Summer League and there will be several opportunities for him to grow in the future. Hopefully he recovers from his illness eventually.
Even sick, heβs had a good presence on the offensive boards and on defense. Heβs probably still a year away from being a full-time rotation player, but if he keeps this kind of mindset, heβll get there.
Now welcome to the team for real π
