Looks like the biggest steal in this draft right now. He is the 2021 Herb Jones

Koloko for the wiiiiiiiinnnnn

If nothing else, Koloko has highlighted how much our starting 5 can benefit from having an athletic 5 who is actually a 5 and can open up the game for us on both ends. Christian’s offense is still a WIP but he’s definitely proven me wrong on the defensive end, at least inasmuch as I wasn’t expecting him to contribute this much, this early on.
15 minutes and starting in 2 games (so far)? Didn’t expect that over Precious or Boucher if someone got hit with the injury bug.

He has a lot of room to get better but man even as he is he’s pretty effective, very talented player

I love that he’s getting these minutes. He already plays a valuable, albeit niche, role on defence for us. It’s the development and chemistry that he’s building that is really important though. Running the PnR with Scottie Pascal and Fred, setting screens for shooters, finding space in the dunker spot. It’s only a matter of time before this experience and chemistry allows him to play a larger complementary role in the offence.
If Banton and Flynn continue to struggle the way they have I could see us using one of Scottie or Pascal as PG in non-Fred minutes and bringing in Koloko regularly off the bench alongside Precious, Boucher, and Otto. Who said you need backup guards when you have agile ball handling forwards!

This guy should be starting and getting at least 20 minutes a game. Fred should be coming off the bench and limited to 20 minutes a game to preserve his body. The team already looks like they have a higher ceiling if Koloko develops. Great to see he provides real rim protection for the first time in awhile. Changes the game completely for Toronto.
