Kyle Filipowski Hype & Appreciation thread

Glad to see him break out! He has a lot of versatility. Significant better agility and athleticism than KO, not as crafty yet. Still have no idea how he dropped to us. I was mad they let him go at 28 but that’s why they pay the guys upstairs I suppose. Has a lot still to work on but a steal for the 2nd round; thought he was borderline lottery in 23 and 24. My dude finally letting it fly.
 
I don't know how you can watch those highlights and not be excited about his potential development.

The issue with highlights is they a great cherrypicking of what someone is capable of. That said, I think he'll be a serviceable player at least in the NBA.

With young players you are just looking for those flashes and then in film sessions you focus on those movements and begin to build his practice habits around those strengths. Then once those strengths are solidified you gradually branch out the focus on expanding from them. You want to make it a step by step process instead of throwing too much at a player and they end up just being average at most things but not really good at anything. You can have a long successful career focusing on doing a few things really well.

I actually like things from all the rookies and sophomores right now. They all have some warts to work on, but not a bad foundation overall. It's just going to be a very slow burn for Flip and the rest...
