What a journey to get to this point. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard! I'm elated for DJ, very well deserved. Perseverance, persistence, purpose, WE ARE!

Great news! DJ was one of all time favorites and he got a lot better since school. He looked great the last 2 years playing in that tournament.

Takes 5 years and 2 or 3 coaches  removed from him for the guys to succeed.

Early thoughts on Jakarr and DJ competing for the same spot in Denver next month:

Stiffs: Who do you think has more upside between Jakarr Sampson and Axel Toupane?

Chris: Even though Toupane is a year older (24) his upside is higher at this point. Sampson is basically a defensive plus who needs plenty of work to improve and be an offensive threat. Toupane isn’t the stalwart on D that Sampson is, however he possesses more playmaking abilities that are necessary in today’s NBA.

Toupane has also shown an ability to knock down 3-pointers, especially from the corners. He isn’t a marksman by any means, but I would take him moving forward over Sampson.

Stiffs: What role do you think D.J. Kennedy would have on the Nuggets? Spot up shooter? Ball handler? Defender?

Kennedy is going to make his mark as a slasher and defender. Last year in Russia he hit just 25 3-pointers in 40 contests, so while he’s a 6-6 shooting guard, he isn’t a plus shooter. He’s extremely athletic and uses that ability to disrupt games on both ends of the court. I think he’s got an outside chance at making the team and would put him behind Toupane and Sampson in terms of wings vying for a roster spot.
