Alright. Got some size to back up Hartenstein for the moment.
Anyone else think he kinda looks like a bigger, less babyfaced Josh Giddey?
Someone tell me if I should be excited
League fucked
W pick up
man, imagine how it feels to be an OKC Blue bigman hearing this news
Raptors sub kinda likes him. Compares him to Olynyk. Not super physical, can shoot some 3’s. 25 yrs old. Doubt he plays much.
Welcome, Elder Carlson!
I like it, even when the guys get back it’ll be good to have a project big man.
Better than DancingDwight
Carlson Wallace duo will feast on second units 😤
Hang the Banner. Carlson MVP season loading now.
Honestly would’ve rather seen Ajay Signed to a standard contract instead
One thing I dislike about the NBA is that there are NBA vets who would be a better option. But the rookie is significantly cheaper than a vet minimum contract. I guess it allows more guys to get that NBA opportunity, but I’d rather have a semi-reliable veteran (not Dwight) in this situation. Best of luck to Branden though! I hope he gets some minutes.
[Branden Carlson](https://stats.gleague.nba.com/player/1642382/traditional/): – 7’ undrafted rookie out of Utah – 2x 1st team All Pac12 – thru 3x GLeague contests, he’s averaging 14 pts / 9 reb / 2 blocks & only 1 foul. His defensive rating is over 100 @ 32 min/gm
we will still play 5 guards at once. he may or may not get scrub minutes
Worth noting that he wore number 35 in college and for the g league….
There will be some times when we need someone who’s actually big to play at center. JDub has been doing a phenomenal job so far, but it would be nice to give him some extra relief options without tying up the team salary or commitment-wise. So good luck to Branden and someone teach him how to bark.
Carlson could be a solid depth piece, but yeah, probably not seeing major minutes yet.
I am whelmed
He’ll be an interesting fit at the 4 next to our Center, JDub
