Are we sure Hunter Dickinson can't play?

He posted 34pts./27bds. for the Squadron tonight, going 4-7 from deep. This follows a 24pt./22bd. performance earlier this season.

Hey, I can still remember when everyone was saying Karlo wouldn't get out of Birmingham...

At the beginning of the season, he couldn't play. We all saw that. Obviously, though, young players can develop and grow their games. That's part of the reason that the G-League exists.

He'll have another chance at the beginning of next season, either with us or with someone else.

I was a Karlo doubter, now I wish they'd give him more minutes. We also had 2-3 years of non NBA caliber Karlo so that definitely played into it.

That type of stat line warrants minutes against NBA talent to further evaluate his progression. Dickinson will be turning 26 y/o to start next season.

I think we may have the LEAST amount true 7ft + centers in the history of the NBA. Ajinca/ Asik/ Withey/ Chandler.

20 years with only 4 players 7' or taller.

One of the biggest reasons for mediocrity through the years. The only 2 times we even sniffed a Championship was with Chandler/ Cousins. A 7' C and a C with a 3pt. So it looks like every 10 years our franchise gives us a center worth a shite for a year or 2.

I just looked at his complete box score. That’s 87.9 FanDuel fantasy points.

Never discount Tyson. He could play.

He looks like a good G league player. And does some good things. But he still just doesn't look athletic enough to play in the nba. But also I just haven't seen a whole lot of at all. I just saw some highlights of his on YouTube.

Yeah, the problem was his defense. It remains to be seen if that has improved.
