Dipping back into the archives again when Kuz told me about the Flint YMCA in 2015: archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id…
Cool step for him to donate to the place where he really honed his game. – 4:19 PM
Should Julius Randle be an All-Star?

Coolest: @Kyle Kuzma gave $1 million to his hometown YMCA in Flint, Michigan. It’ll go toward a new gym, that’ll be named in his honor of him.
Much respect. – 2:39 PM
I feel like there is a strongly held perception that Rui Hachimura is a bust. I prefer to think of him as a late bloomer. Go look at his stats about him. He’s settling into being a pretty solid player.
Fully agree that Wizards have to breakup that mess at the 3/4 spots. Way too many guys! – 2:32 PM

Raptors can’t fuss re: schedule: Played ATL (at home) w/ rest advantage (lost); played @ Knicks w/ rest advantage (won); played Bucks on B2B, but after a day game, as were Bucks, & Milwaukee w/o Giannis. TWolves play tonight (@ Denver) so Raps have rest advantage again Thurs. – 2:07 PM
