Culver should take 5 3s in a row here. Work those kinks out.

You forgot taking yourself out of the play going for the offensive rebound while the opposing goes the other way for a transition bucket.

This last 5 mins should be all developmental players in the game with the current lead.

Game just looks to fast and the players too athletic for him right now.

He needs some heavy game reps to pick it up.

I think you nailed the actual issue with Culver. He just doesnt look ready for the speed of the NBA.

I think you guys are given gorgui a little too much heat, let's not forget his elite ability to escort guards to the basket in a failed attempt to get a block at the rim

For an apparent 3 pt shooter, keelan martin really does love those long 2s.

In fairness to him, not many rookies are plug and play in the NBA. It's also just two games in. After 20, let's reevaluate. And then again after 41. He will make strides.

It's also nice to see Okogie show progression early in his sophomore season. He seems comfortable with his role and through two games has made a serious impact. The same can be said for Layman and Graham.

I'll be paying close attention to Nico Mannion at Arizona and Devon Dotson at Kansas. Mannion has star written all over him.

The more common names to watch are LaMelo Ball, Cole Anthony, and R.J. Hampton with Hampton being the best among this trio.

His lack of speed isnt going to change, thats why i never wanted him. I do hope he can do other NBA things as we move forward, so yes give it time. He does have size and carries himself with confidence which is nice.
