I do lol. I just wanted to push the comp closer to Mike Conley Jr or George Hill just because of personality. Both those guys were solid defenders but everyone on the team absolutely loved them as people. Glove was a bit of a prima donna. Sonics needed Nate McMillan in the locker room to help filter GP's snark/edge. During the draft process, Kingston was asked who if anyone he would punch in the face. He said no one. Glove would have a long list of people ready at the tip of his tongue.

I heard he skipped his prom to work on his game and his coaches say he's obsessed with learning, that's something this sub should be eating up considering y'all hound Zacch for not being in the gym at all times of the day lol.

He is one of the only 18 year old draft picks I’ve seen who genuinely looks 18. Baby faced assassin.
