1-5 defender with a good handle/playmaking ability is just not going to bust. How impactful he becomes will be how he develops his shot and offense. At a bare minimum, I think you're getting Kyle Anderson.

I had Barnes > Cunningham pre-draft.
Charlotte has Bouknight handling the primary guard duties. Good for development, but dude is not a primary ball handler.

Sengun with 8 free throw attempts in the first quarter. Drawing fouls is looking like it will translate. 3 or 4 rebounds so far. Hasn’t been tested much defensively but has held his own so far.
edit just got a steal too.

If Sengun booms Houston could be a force in the future. Green, Sengun, Garuba, Wood, Martin Jr and a top 5 pick next year.
With Sengun out and Matthew Hurt in, kinda-former King Kabengele is completely controlling the paint for Cleveland.

Yeah, dude looks exactly like Kanter out there. He's really good off pick and roll but the guards aren't even looking for him.

That's the thing, he's not really that explosive. Full court he's really good as a rim runner.
Yeah it's good news he's beating up the Summer league bigs. Looks real skilled with the ball.
I think what everyone is waiting for is how his size matches with NBA C's. I don't think anyone every doubted his talent

Jalen Green looks good, doesn’t get his teammates involved so far but no question he can score.
nothing much from Mobley yet
Sengun 9 points 9 rebounds 2 steals and a block so far. Really awful first 3 point attempt
. Teammates basically ignored him other than the swing pass on the perimeter.

Jalen Green is straight up throwing out a challenge for Cunningham to look this good in the next game.

He had like three or four wide open slips to the hoop that Jalen Green blatantly ignored to do what he does best, that is ridiculous iso scoring

Yep. Kai was one of those dudes where the measurable and workout tapes never really matched with the in-game footage. Still think he winds up being an effective big in the league but not the dark horse sleeper some pundits thought he would be back in mid-May for some reason.

And his defense. So far, he's going to struggle with pick and roll and getting his shot off against some bigs at the rim.

If I'm the Rox, I'm totally fine with Green ignoring everyone else at this point, haha. The other guys need a talking to though for sure. Dude sets a great screen, rolls tight, and you freeze him out? No way.

on the flip side he has 3 blocks and 2 steals so far. Hard to tell how he will do with his shot but he hasn’t had much opportunity in this game.

The Cavs are currently running their offense through Okoro and Broderick Thomas and Thomas has looked like he doesn’t belong in summer league let alone the NBA and Okoro, as much as I love his defense and role player wiles, is absolutely not a good shot creator at this point in his career. Sengun is trying out there but it’s not like the Cavs are making things hard for him.
You could have simply said that Sengun is a good passer, which is true, but instead you went out of your way to make sure that the compliment to Sengun was paired with an unnecessary insult to a Kings player. Classy.
