That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die…
I was reading Laker fan comments about Jemison III. They didn’t dislike him and wish him luck. But they didn’t think he was a great center. He played hard and set great picks but isn’t very skilled in their opinion. I looked up his stats and compared them to Jericho Sims. Sims is better. He gets more rebounds and shoots better. So I am not expecting great things from Jemison; but to get a player who has serviceable NBA experience on a two way contract is probably a reasonable deal.
I’d probably rather have Pate on the two-way, just so we control his rights in the unlikely event he turns into something. But at the end of the day, that doesn’t matter much.
Am I understanding correctly that if we salary dump Kolek instead of Dadiet, we could sign two vets but not a rookie minimum guy? If that happens, I imagine they’ll dump one of the two-ways and give that slot to Diawara.
Going into the season, I think Hukporti has the biggest opportunity here of the non-rotation players. But as much as I think Brogdon is potentially a great pick up for us, I also think Kolek still has a chance here.
But Huk…we’re going to need one more big, regardless of whether Mitch starts or not. KAT at the 5 is a great look on offense and Mitch is a great back up, but there are going to be minutes needed at the C spot. If Huk can fill that role, it’s potentially huge.
The more I think about it, the less I like signing 2 vets. Yes, it improves our chances in “the year” but very very marginally unless injuries hit pretty hard in which case our chances have gone down considerably anyway. To dump Kolek I assume needs a sweetener like a 2nd. I don’t rate Kolek anymore but the 2nd is not worth it. And giving away Dadiet’s upside, even if we got a 2nd in return is also not worth it. Just pick the best vet and don’t get greedy in wanting the second best also.

Like many in the KB hive, Hollinger is critical of the Mikal extension
