Kyle Filipowski Hype & Appreciation thread

I think he will be a great glue guy and teammate as well. I noticed that he acknowledged his teammates that made the passes to him-- rather than some ego-driven celebration of his own accomplishment. I think his teammates are going to love playing with him.

He got very excited when Bacot hit the corner 3 lmao. Must have been a trip for any UNC/Duke fan to watch.
 
He plays so smart and fluid. The spacing of the NBA game is much better for him.

He really needs to get stronger/more physical, but the skills and BBall IQ are there. It will help if he gets to be the 5 rather than 4, I think.

I honestly haven’t been as excited about a Jazz rookie since Deron.

This kid could become one of our best yet.

Flip had so far shown that he’s:

- not very athletic
- not all that tough physically
- slow on defense (basically a traffic cone at times)
- not big enough to guard 5s and not quick enough to guard 4s
- doesn’t hustle on defense
- doesn’t have a consistent 3 point shot (yet)

To me there are lots of concerns there, things he needs to work on physically and mentally.

But all Cy could say is “ohhhhhh… but he can passssss”

Gee dude, we get you’re a contrarian, but maybe take look at the whole picture once in a while?

Oh wow, these post are 6 days apart.

So am I still a contrarian? Or maybe I'm a visionary.

You’ve self proclaimed yourself a contrarian numerous times…

I have not. If I've said that, it's only a joke because it's what people like yourself say when they cant talk ball.

But I'm glad you came around. It's just funny how someone can go from what you were saying 6 days ago, which was just to completely **** over a positive thread and try to fill it with negativity, to you now being a clown who is overhyping to compensate for how wrong you were initially.

I call it as I see it. Flip was poor the first 5 games but have since turned it on, so I’m applauding that.

I’m always 100% honest with my take.

But look who’s trying to fill this positive thread with negativity… lol..

He's like a combo between Dirk, young Arvidas Sabonis and Jokic... and a bit of Lauri, but Lauri is much more athletic than all of those fools... ;)

Here's what I gathered from summer league:

Cody - TMac with McDaniels defense and Durant's shooting

Collier - Westbrook mix with Gary Payton defense

Flip - Dirk with Jokic passing and Lauri athleticism
