He’s a slightly worse/younger version of AD. Similar type of player.

I never said that I think Mark Williams is a bum. As most have said in this thread, he was playing in silence and low lights here in Charlotte. I think he is a good player. But is he replace AD status?
The question is: will he be able to not be injured, and handle the spotlight of playing in LA with Bron and Luka? Its literally from the outhouse to the penthouse of attention. I hope that he pulls it off.

No he isn’t.
I had hope for Knecht, but he's inconsistent AF and a turnstile on defense.

This fakkit calling people c00ns when all he does is suck foreign cacs dikks. Bytch ass fakkit
I was vaguely familiar with his game, but the more I read about him this is a horrendous trade for LA
Sounds to me like he’s Al Jefferson. And Al Jeffersons were phased out 10 years ago. If you’re a big who can’t defend or shoot 3s you’re a liability. Very few exceptions and the ones that come to mind are in an endless trade loop: Nurkic, Valanciunas
You also go back to the ‘we need more shooters’ dilemma that knecht was eventually gonna fix. Bron and Luka are the dreaded ‘good enough to be passable and take too many’, that 34-35% range. Rui is shooting lights out but he’s not a volume shooter.
So yea Williams 15 and 9 looks good on paper but that’s gonna evaporate playing with 3 or 4 guys ahead in pecking order. Gonna look crazy when he’s averaging 8 and 7 and having no or negative impact overall

None of it is a needle mover tbh.... Lakers ain't doing shyt
The more you read about him?
You know you could actually watch him play instead of making an assessment based on what you're reading. The fact that you're comparing him to Al Jefferson is hilarious. Nobody that has seen him play would ever compare him to Al, in any fashion. How the fukk are you talking all this bullshyt about a player and making a projection of how he'll look on the Lakers based on what you've read?

Nets didn't take on bad money for Dorian Finney Smith even if that meant turning those 3 2's into another first.
Brooklyn wasn't trying to have Hachimura or Gabe Vincent on the team do nothing while they added another first.

and the way to make this work is by clustering the fukk outta the forward spots?
Brandon Miller
Grant Williams
Tidjaun Salaun
Dalton Knecht
Miles Bridges
sure, let's add Flagg.
I don't know where they're getting a center from but it ain't in this draft. Way more likely they feed fans "well Miller can play the 5 in some stretches. He's put on 20 pounds. He's in the best shape of his life."

This is not the draft for this.
Who are even the best center prospects? Malauch & Queen I’m assuming?
