it's feet. A lot of it. Um, he is, he plays a little bit small when he has, when he, uh, jumps off two feet. So like if he has runway and he can spring off of one foot, he's, um, he's pretty athletic. Um, but he's not maybe the athletes, um, that he was billed as like, he's not quite, he's probably not John wall. Um, and he's not, he's certainly not Russell Westbrook, right?

Like he's not one of, he's not that tier of athlete. He's an athletic point guard to be sure, but he's probably not in that, you know, whatever that percentile is, the 98th and above percentile. So sometimes he plays a little small when he has a jump off two feet, so he gets caught and can get in a crowd. And he was really bad with his left hand early in his career.

He's really improved his left hand finishing. That's like a thing he can do a little bit. But I think a lot of it is getting his footwork and his balance when he gets around the rim becomes a problem for him.

He is a real MF-er. Like, he is... Donovan Klingin is down to brawl. And I don't know that you always see that with rookie big men trying to find the way. Sometimes you see, like... You know, there are some Stephen Adamses out there, right? Like, Stephen Adams kind of came to the league and was like, I'll fight. Like, I'm down to fight. I'll fight everybody. But a lot of young big guys are like...

I got to figure out where maybe they commit hard fouls, but they don't like beef. And I think Klingon's competitiveness, particularly not backing down when guys go right at him and draw kind of silly fouls on him. I think that is an appealing part of his game because just that, just the willingness to like to mix it up speaks well for what they're going to need him to be.

You know what I think is a myth? I think Mickey Mouse March is a myth. There are times when it is very obvious that you are racking up stats against nonsense teams. There was a game, Shane Sharp's rookie year, where he had 37 boards, 7 assists. 37 and 7. And the team kept pointing to it all the time. One of the only rookies to have 35-5 before his night. They lost by 42 to the Kings that night.
