    ...and he has no shot other than 2 feet from the basket, even after 7 years. That is why I think Hartenstein could become a better center than Clint. He just needs to get more NBA time. I think he has the skills to develop into more of a shooting center like Jokic.

    You don't develop into Jokic. Jokic is a natural, a true basketball prodigy. But yeah, it's possible that Hartenstein could develop into a center who can knock down a jumpshot of some kind.

    Yeah, but Joker got some serious deficiencies as well.

    Mostly moving very slow, inconsistent leader.

    Well he already proved he shoot in the G League. He even had a good 3pt %. He has more shooting skills than Clint, but MDA limits him. MDA is such a bad coach.

    Very true, he's a terrible athlete, and yes that's a part of the game too. But when it comes down to natural talent and feel for the game, there are very few guys in the NBA who can match him. I think if you give Jokic Hartenstein's body and athleticism, we'd be talking about Jokic as a potential GOAT.

    Hold your horses, but yeah, much better for sure.

    Hartenstein is intriguing prospect.

    The Nuggets do not have a pure scorer. I know Jamal Murray is coming close, bunch of good guys but not great.

    As for Jokic, he stands out but also not as a pure scorer or shooter.

    Read my username, mate. I often daydream about stuff like this. I'm salivating just thinking about Jokic having even average athleticism by NBA standards, Lol

    The whole Euro league would be full of superstars if they were halfway athletic and a force of nature.

    Tons of skilled players.

    Thank the lord, everyone has his/her limitations.

    We don't have a team, just some guys playing around. It's amazing we're even winning as much as we do. Credit Harden & WB for that.

    8 man rotation no Clemons and Hartenstein, two guys who popped off when given PT.

    Dumbtoni has got to go.

    Rockets are 10p underdogs in tonights game in Utah. Will probably go down as about a 20p loss.Okc may soon put Rockets into the 7 seed.
