Karlo looks much better than last year, where he looked completely lost, but he still isn't ready. He's been in the right place a lot which is good, but he hasn't been able to finish the play. Most of the time so far it's because he's not strong enough to win a scrum.

Did Griff just say he was excited about what we did last year… what did we accomplish exactly?

Missi had a really nice defensive possession defending a smaller guard in space and blocking his midrange shot.

Downside is he looks exhausted already. His conditioning does not look good. He’s only played 9 minutes

I was thinking this maybe the case, Willie loves small ball

Can’t really expect him to say anything else though. It makes us look desperate if he says we need another C (everyone knows we do anyways).

I was really surprised. He was talking about not just Missi, but Matkovic in terms of being the kind of roll bigs that fit with some of what Murray brings.

Having a hard time getting too worked up about the center situation. I've always thought it was an option to go cheap at center and allocate that cap space to other players. Our closing five isn't going to feature a traditional center. More like Warriors death line up...

Hawk looks rough.

9 points on 10 shots

I agree to an extent but versatile players like AD and Chet will be extremely hard to matchup with. We need to hit the lottery on one of these guys.

Karlo is looking pretty good to me

He's showing more athleticism than I thought he had.

Yeah I see no reason why he can’t be the 14th or 15th guy on the roster this year. Especially with our dire need for big men.

Like we had EJ Liddell on the roster all last year. Karlo is better than him

If I had to guess he will be on the roster and it will be a 3 way coemption with him Missi and Theis to battle to be the starter, with most likely Theis starting.

Assuming nothing can get done with Ingram of course.

Looks good setting screens and rolling. In good rebounding position but needs to come down with the ball more consistently. Defensively, I think he'll be better with a communication heavy lead like Herb. I like what I see.
