I saw the alley oop to Hukporti from Cam Payne and the kid needs to play give him minutes! I would love to see K Mac Jr. play some also!
Wish they played him sooner so he'd have more experience by now
This is cute but let’s not delude ourselves into thinking that we had anything to do with him getting into the rotation, yes we all would like to see him and know how good he can be and it’s great that he took advantage of his opportunity like Duce instructed him to do but unfortunately when Mitchell comes back, we probably won’t see him except for in dire situations.
Love Huk and all he brings, dude is just ready to hoop so finally let the dude hoop!
Massiveeeeee Improvement
Only because owner said something LOL PLEASE tibbs would never do it on his own
Tommy, was getting some flack from managementand The media and the FANS! But..do not get used..it. Tommy, will get cold feet during the playoffs on rotating the bench. Its fake gold.lol
Whoa! Buddy boi! Lol😂 He does not look anything like "Brother" Hartinstein. Lol He is a active big man. But..a little to fast paced and a little to high strung and " he is a bit out of control too. (Hartparti.) But…he is a good big man. overall. Tommy, wont play him much. Thus his development will stunned. "There is patern with Tommy with Tommy playing Players to much and getting hurt or players not developing ..because..Tommy doesnt play them . He had a few players not wanting to play for " him" or wanting to be traded.🤔
No convincing. They playing him because they want to trade Sims.
Please get rid of Thibs
Go HUK Go ‘ HUK has a lot of energy
Huporti Robinson 9:43 precious to back up kat og we can ration there minutes keep them healthy and fresh and can go deep into the playoffs .
He is better than Sims n precious he brings energy n plays defense
History shows that he will be glued to the bench when OG gets back.
your assessment of why Hukporti took so long to break the rotation is because he was not ready. Blame Coach Thibs like so many do every day. He is developing because he is a rookie. He is a very good add to the rotation
HUK wouldn’t stop moving in last night game. That is what we need. Non stop crashing boards
This is why you will never win with Tibs
It's about time our doofus coach played Hukporti…but have you noticed when a bench guy plays well our esteemed leader sits him the next game? Also, play Kolek 8 minutes a game. The wheels are going to fall off the car come playoff time if our starters keep playing 40 minutes a night.
It’s about time Tibbs.. in pre season I said to myself he should be in the rotation.
Actually, what's finally happening is that Sims is going to immediately play 20-25 mins in Mil bc they desperately need an athletic defensive 5 and next yr becomes the Bucks' starting center.
Huk will be out of the rotation as soon as Mitch returns, but I agree that he shows a lot of promise ( tho "two in a row," is a stretch- he was awful vs Hou- Thibs' smarter than Kn fans) and has a chance to even replace Mitch someday soon.
The Bucks get a bkup 5 they need and will use and Hukporti becomes the 3rd-4th string 5 on the Knicks so a win win for all!
