It doesn't look like he has any offense away from the basket. A dunker is about it. And his passing is not very good but an intimidating shot blocker and rebounder. He can work if the Spurs have good scoring fire power on the wings.
Could pass as a porn name ngl

Not sure how many centres in the NBA doesn't fall into this category. Even MVP candidate joker got killed by GSW on the switch.
Did you just write off an easy bucket, gained skillfully, from the Center position from this team?
I didn’t, but the NBA sure as did with the 2015 rules changes. Some teams don’t even keep a true backup on their roster. They just run out 3 forwards for a front line.
The only place scoring buckets two points at a time will get you is behind, and further behind.
Maybe true, but someone should let Pop know given were in the bottom tier of the league on attempts and makes.
Yet somehow we mansged to be the first team since like 1980 or whenever to have a positive plus/minus with a losing record (and we weren't even close to a winning record). So perhaps two of our more reliable players in Murray and Poeltl are not good for the team.
Ok im sold on this kid now if he’s still available at 9. 18 years old, 6’11 with a 7’5 wingspan and a 37 inch vertical. Could be a nice peice in 2-3 years.
6'10 maybe, but to be honest I think he will get taken before we pick...
I'm all in on burn.
Of course you are.
I set everyone up and this is the best ya got?
Jabari Smith is my pipe dream pick, but this kid is my top choice if he's available when we make our first pick.
I didn’t want to steal baseline’s thunder with… Bend over, I’ll show you burn.
Me too. Smith looks like exactly what we’re missing
Washington is garbage and Kai Jones is meh. The trade rumor at the time made zero sense.
It made sense to the Spurs' FO, who were pushing for a first round pick (which is now at 13). That's the point of the deal, if it gets done. Kai Jones did very well in the G League, to the point were it has to at least make you wonder. He's 6'10" with great athleticism and just turned 21... That's by no means a guarantee of anything, but there's no downside to picking him up.

Imagine trading a very productive defensive center who is becoming a hub in the offense for a blah PF who doesn't do much and a crappy long term prospect so might some day be as good, maybe, as the guy you're trading.
Imagine calling Kai Jones a "crappy long term prospect" but Primo a "top 5 pick in this year's draft"
When did I say that? Lol. Even so, Primo is closer to that destination than Kai "what even is basketball?" Jones.Imagine calling Kai Jones a "crappy long term prospect" but Primo a "top 5 pick in this year's draft"
Kai was drafted by a team desperate for a center. Josh was drafted by a team flush with guards and wings.Imagine calling Kai Jones a "crappy long term prospect" but Primo a "top 5 pick in this year's draft"
Kai: 63 minutes
Josh: 965 minutes
Kai is trash if that’s all the minutes he can get.
If minutes played were a reflection of having earned them, you'd have a point. But since the Spurs have openly acknowledged Primo is getting minutes no matter what because his development is a priority, while the Hornets played veterans because winning is a priority, your premise is invalid and thus so is your argument.
So you're saying the FO has repeatedly been interested in a player who is trash and doesn't have any idea what basketball is. That's a bold statement of yours.
When did they say this?
Who’s their awesome veteran center keeping him out of the lineup?
