Some Koloko PAC-12 advanced stats:
ORTG: 127.3. (1st)
DRTG: 88.6. (1st)
PER: 28.0. (1st)
Blocks: 102. (1st)
BLK %: 10.3. (1st)
TS%: .661. (1st)
WS/48: .250. (1st)
Box +/-: 10.5 (1st)
We have a more athletic Rudy Gobert, with shooting potential, on a rookie scale contract. This is a great pick.

Welcome to Toronto! He was a name floating around the draft thread when we were talking centers. It was between him and Kagamate, but Koloko had the better stats, and felt less raw.
I didn't really want us to draft a center, but it's nice to have a legit shot blocker in the line up.
We need to maybe throw in some PnR sets to get him going. I think he and Flynn could be lethal, but it really depends on Nurse and how he sets up his sets. Scottie is going to love throwing him lobs though.

I was impressed by his footwork on defence too. And he stealthily hones in for blocks. Finally have a legit 7 foot anchor
but, im worried our competitors gained more. Chicago, charlotte, Cleveland did well and eventually detroit is gonna climb the ladder.
koloko, birch, pascal, bouch, precious is there enough minutes? Birch seems like the odd man out

Cleveland and Detroit have existing potential stars in Mobley and Cade respectively. They will be better teams after just one year and now they added a player in this draft to bolster their bench.
Would would have predicted this pick BUT the expert eyes of both Masai and Bobby, hopefully Koloko can be thrown into the fire right away to pair with Precious to anchor that defense in the middle. Nice caveat is that he came from the same area where Siakam was.

Freeloaders dont get minutes
It's astonishing how much you dislike Birch and yet at the same time think he will provide value in a trade? He's a functional backup/spot-starter center. Teams do not trade assets for that, they sign that for something in the room MLE to full MLE range.
He could absolutely be used as salary matching in a trade but they won't trade him for the sake of doing so.

Birch being the odd man out is the ideal. I suspect they will give Koloko a few stints with the 905 to stretch his game a bit, get heavy reps and minutes, and when they do that Khem will take the backup spot, and of course whenever there is an injury. But really looking forward to what 48 minutes shared between Precious and Koloko could look like. They only play Boucher at PF so I'm not too worried about Koloko affecting that, and they played Thad and Boucher at 3/4 all the time, so they probably have room for everyone. Now, if they also add an MLE guard, it starts to get real crowded for all these guys. But that's better than being like 6 deep like last year.
With Nurse's documented trust issues, it's hard to imagine Koloko getting any run other than garbage time, at best.
