Cooper has incredible strength for his size, he doesn't seem to be phased by contact and maintains his balance well around the rim.  His game kinda reminds me of FVV a little

He does. He just bumped out to the baseline, loved it.

We used to throw our pups in the fire,  these days not so much.

Different time when we were tanking.

Hopefully OO will be back and ready to play real NBA games after tomorrow night's game in the GL.

He may be out for bereavement this game. I believe his father passed yesterday.

Good news is it was a contact  injury. I just hope he didn't break his knee cap.

Cooper is looking really good on both ends. 

Jalen needs to pick up his intensity.  He's shown some good flashes.

He must be fine if they are calling him up.

Also, this is very encouraging as far as Cooper. 

Edit:  Actually he's shooting 38.7% on 6.2 attempts.  That's excellent if it can translate when he plays with the Hawks.

I really don't want for us to rely on a rookie to be a backup PG, but with the play of Lou/Delon, what do we have to lose?

That's good news. Sometimes when you bang knees it can hurt like hell, but nothing but a bruise.

Good vet but it doesn’t move the meter to me. He keeps it steady though.

Only 2 knocks on Sharife that kept him from being a lottery pick.

1) His height

2) Outside Shooting

Glad to see he has put the work in to fix what he can control. He may never get taller, but at least he wont have any other glaring holes in his game.

He's also playing good defense.  At least, much better defense I was lead to believe he could.

He always struck me as a pesky little defender. Short, but still scrappy.

The biggest thing with short guys is being able to stay in front of your man, and keeping them out of the lane. If guys are going to be able to shoot over you anyways,  make them do it from distance.

I think he has a solid foundation to build upon defensively.
