1. I don’t know anything about this guy, what’s he like?

2. Thomas Robinson-lite type of player..

   Kinda undersized, decent pickup cause of injuries to Wood and other bigs

3. Nothing like adding one of the GOATs of being injured to shore up your injury issues 😂

4. Not the free agency signing I was hoping for lol.

5. Okay, genuine questions cause I don’t know his game:

   1. Can he shoot?

   2. Can he rebound?

   3. Can he defend?

   4. Can he switch?

   5. Can he pass?

   6. Can he catch passes?

   7. Can he run the floor?

6. I remember this dude. He had so much potential, I’m talking top 10, even 5 in some boards but very very injury prone. He tore both his knees up in high school and never looked the same, probably cause of injury concerns.

7. Should have gone for Muscala

   Edit: watch muscala light us up next week u bums

8. Wow havent heard his name for a while. His highschool highlights were insane

9. he’s had 3 major injuries at the age of 15, but was still good enough for team usa teenage teams. and despite his injuries and an uneventful freshman year at duke, he still went for the draft and got picked in the first round. he was able to finally play in the nba with the kings, but more injuries to his knees came.

   so we’re getting an undoubtedly talented big however injury prone. i hope the lakers org actually looked deep into this which led to giving him a chance. and i hope the guy makes the most out of this chance.

10. WILL HE PLAYOFF ELIGIBLE?

11. I still believe in him. Awesome pick up.

12. Always been a fan of him as a prospect, he’s never gotten much of a chance, let’s see what he can do.

13. I’ve always rooted for this guy due to the poor luck he’s had. I really hope he pans out here!

14. who did they waive?

15. New Stanley Johnson just dropped

16. Better than Hayes

17. Nice!

18. How is he signing a 2way? They better not have gotten rid of castleton

19. The second coming of Wilt, praise Jesus

20. Guess he’s insurance if Hayes goes down

21. new toy to get delusional with

22. 

23. He was like Dereck Lively type player but got injured. He was the top recruit out of HS when he went to Duke injuries just got to him. He’s a great dude.

24. Better than everyone this sub was clamoring for. As long as his knees hold up…
