Reinforcements on the way maybe?

... I give up with this front office and coaching staff. Not that Karlo would probably make a huge difference but why sign him to an NBA contract if you don't see what he can do against NBA competition while you have a ton of injuries and lack of depth in the frontcourt?

They don’t play till Friday.

It was always the plan to let Karlo and Antonio play minutes in the second back-2-back when the roster was depleted.

Wouldn’t surprise me if CJ and Hawkins play this weekend.

Honestly I think he was added to the roster as trade filler or to help get under the tax. But even then you think you would play him to up his value. To me this just shows they’re not serious about him. They did the same crap with EJ Liddell last year and then tossed him in a trade for Dejounte.

There was a post over the summer from one of the guys who covers the team that the Pels might not view Karlo as an NBA-rotation big. But shortly after that he was added to the summer league roster and then signed to a deal.

I've watched a lot of his g-league minutes. He looks like a guy who could certainly be a solid back at center and power forward and maybe turn into a player for you. He has legit range to the 3-point line, runs well, blocks some shots, has good hands and passes the ball and his size is pretty good. Not sure I get it but it looks like they see him as one of those Euro bigs who won't make it here. Willie isn't playing Theis either. Maybe that Euro skill set is not what he values at center.

The only guy with a + rating yesterday, let's get rid of him immediately!

Pels are such a clown show.

That shouldn't affect Karlo. He's a center.

He should have been playing 35 minutes a night the past few games with all these injuries. At least see what you’ve got.

He looks very timid and like the game is moving to fast. I would give him a few games and see if he improves. If he does a stretch big would be nice

I think karlo will end up being a rotation guy for someone.

But there’s JRE who Ive been down on, but has shot and played better recently. I think Karlo can shoot as well and run the floor but team had a plan already. We got to see Jemmison’s plus and minus but slow rolling Karlo.

Beginning to think this is either racially or politically motivated

Something not adding up

No, JRE probably beat out Karlo in camp. Coach Green probably sticking to his choice. But with the amount of injuries, It should have been easy to get Karlo minutes.

Can't wait to see Willie keep Cooper Flagg on the bench after we get another 1st overall pick.
