    Good for him. Would be great to see this guy succeed.

  2. He’s averaging .5 blocks per game at 5’7” lol

    i wonder if just the act of someone that short taking a charge would result in a flagrant foul since the offensive player is like almost guaranteed to accidentally elbow him in the face.

    maybe the team could build a system around a short guy. exploit as many loopholes as possible. Get Jakob to throw him at the rim from the 3 point line. or lift him up to help block half court 3 heaves similar to how rugby players lift up eachother for the block.

    “Next up game”…I like that. Sometimes these guys are lacking the right opportunity and need a moment in the spotlight to showcase their game.

    He could actually get playing time in the NBA

    At his size, it’s an issue defensively, however, if you are able to take charges and force turnovers (which is kinda how Trae elevated his defense this year), it’s possible.

    Learn how to make people pay for going straight at you

    Offensively, I think he already is NBA caliber. Ain’t like the dude is playing against midgets in the G League.
