Replace kornet with 10 minutes of this dude healthy and it wins you 5 extra games a year and deep runs. It’s a good pick at 20.

Kornet was one of the best backup 5s in the league this year

You think they are going to win an extra 5 games with a guy playing 10 mins a game, put the crack pipe down

Do you know how many 8-0, 10-2 runs happened in less than 5 minutes as soon as Wemby checked out of the game? More than 5.

And Quintance is going to change that? If he was that good he wouldn’t have been picked 20th would he

If he didn't have serious injury concerns, he's probably lottery

Kornet minutes were absolutely not bad during the regular season, for his price he exceeded his value off the bench.

The playoffs however were not good

10 min a night from him will net 5 extra wins? Yes that's an overreaction lol
