Well, I thinkthispressureonhimtoreachthefinalsbecause I thinkthat, uh, K D.
Isoneofthegreatgreatplayersinthegame.
Asfaras I'm concernedwithhealthy, I thinkhe's thebest.
Uh, thebottomlineisthatthisdudeis a superstarextraordinaire.
He's JustinAssassin, your 6 11 with a 76 weeksmanandcouldpullupfrom 30 atwell, with a handle.
He's justinoffensivejuggernaut, thelikesofwhichwemayhaveneverseenwhenyouconsidertheArsenaltheperimeterarsenalthathehasavailabletohimatthatsizeatthatheight, Uh, there's justnothingtosneezeat, and I lookedattheBrooklynNets, andthisisthebigreasonwhy I'm sohighonthemwithout K d.
Thisis a decentteam, a decentteamthatcouldmaketheplayoffs.

I don't give a damnaboutnoAchilles.
Ifthisbrothersat 80% becausehe's 6 11 withthe 76 wingspan, he's notgonnahave a problemgettingthatshotoff, andas a result, I don't expectanythingmorethan I don't expectmuchof a dropoff.
He's averaged 27 forhiscareer.
I expectthattocontinue.
Andifthisbrotherisremotelyhealthy, I can't seeanybodyintheEaststoppingBrooklynfromgettingtothefinalsnextyear.
