How does Acuil look defensively? And does it look like the plan is to go BIG and start Motley at PF with Acuil as the starting C?

Like how we keep trying to get the ball inside. Have to keep the defense honest, and try to pick up some fouls on those shot blockers.

Man I just love out big rotation with Acuil, Motley, and Maston. Nuni Omot could be a huge addition as well.

'm most eager to see Wendell Mitchell.

Acuil is so much better down low than I thought. Great timing and he has the attitude to go with it.

Acuil's hands are better than I expected. 7 footer with shot blocking and soft hands is a good combination.
Cheshire Bear

Acuil is a force, man. Dude is throwing a block party.
