Locke said today he thinks Walker might be the starter moving forward, regardless of Lauri playing or not.
Walker Kessler Should No Longer Play Until KO is Traded
- Thread starter Saint Cy of JFC
- Start date
My nickname for that frontcourt - the great whiteout. Lol.
A racialistic joke that isn't racist. Heck it might be but it is not intended. It is more self deprecating than anything.
Did he say if he thought he would be starting over Olynyk or Vanderbilt?

would have to be vando.
Not sure why it would KO given KO started yesterday.
Agreed. The reason I asked is because before last night's game Hardy said Kessler starting in place of Vanderbilt was in no way a permanent thing.

either he's full of crap, made the decision after saying that, locke is up in the night, etc, because hardy won't start vanderbilt and kessler on the same night. can't have two dudes who can't create offense starting at the same time. .
Yeah, could just be Locke speculating about what he thinks might happen, not necessarily what will happen.
Then Locke is probably tripping, but it's going to happen at some point.
I would love for Kessler to start but it’s pretty vital for vando to start when lauri is playing. Vando’s versatility on defense lets lauri get mismatches on offense as a 3, but play defense as a 4.
And as mentioned, it’s tough to start vando and Kessler. You need two guys that are hyper mobile to make that work (aka Allen and Mobley) but I don’t think Kessler can do that

Also anybody saying Kessler and gobert are in the same stratosphere is tripping.
Kessler is great and will probably be an amazing player, but the defensive impact isn’t comparable right now. Rudy is a generational talent who erases so much before it even happens whereas Kessler is a good rim defender and shot blocker.
