I know reading is hard.
Apparently writing is difficult as well.

He'll be both much better and much worse than Turner - (based on his history) I'm expecting LOTS of "aggressive"/hairpulling/WTF turnovers from Supe.Yep. Pretty much my thoughts. If he brings what Turner did without the obligatory "Turnovers" he will be a great addition at a fraction of the cost. Then if they keep him and pay him a reasonable contract he will be even better.

I was 23 when we won the championship
Hezonja did a little bit of everything Sunday, pushing the ball on offense, hoisting threes in half-court sets and — more than anything — trying to create scoring chances for his teammates. He finished with four points, four rebounds and a game-high-tying three assists. As Hezonja evolves into his new role as a point-forward, he’s focused on distributing rather than scoring.
“I told (Bazemore) and Rodney, ‘When I’m playing with you guys, you’re going to eat a lot,’” Hezonja said. “I’ll be targeting those shooters, because we need them. I can finish the game with zero points, I don’t give a damn. Whatever it takes to impact winning and to bring the championship to this team. I’m doing all the little things and all the dirty stuff for us to be successful.”
I love that in his interview he flat out said he's going to guard the best player on the court every night...and doesn't care if he scores zero pts...this is a dude who's blocked Lebron before. He's frickin' built like a tank...lot of lower core and upper core strength...I think he's an X factor..he's a lot stronger than he looked before...Hezonja did a little bit of everything Sunday, pushing the ball on offense, hoisting threes in half-court sets and — more than anything — trying to create scoring chances for his teammates.

I know Green is not 6'9" but I see Mario doing the same as Green did against us by pushing the ball to the hoop.Take it one step further; how many 6’9 (or above) playmakers are there in the league? And by playmaker I don’t mean just passing. I mean operating the pick and roll, putting the ball on the floor, and breaking down a defender.
Lebron
Simmons
KD
Giannis
George
Ingles (technically not 6’9 but close enough)
That’s all I got but that’s just off the top so I probably missed someone.
I know we are expecting Hezojna to play mainly with second team but I'm really interested to see how he plays with Dame and CJ. Very intriguing.

Is that lebron?
Lolol
Hezonja has looked pretty solid as he is much more versatile than Layman
Bigger, stronger, more multidimensional....just better at everything but catching lobs and three point shooting.
That highlight video answers so many questions about him. Everything in it he created for himself (except for the wide open three). If he can somewhat consistently replicate that video....man. What a steal.
agree, Jake isI would say 3 point shooting is about even right now as Jake was very streaky and after having some very strong games from outside he also went through a long period where he couldn't hit a shot. It will be interesting to see where each ends up in 3 point shooting this year.
He's much better than Turner at finding seams for penetration to the hoop, and with authority. Once Jake gets that down he will be really tough.I think at this point if you want to compare Jake to somebody on the team, his nearest comparable is actually Bazemore. Athletic wing guy who can play with speed. Similar size. Opportunistic scorer. Baze is obviously better overall and better defender, but less athletic.
Mario is basically Evan Turner, only you turn the dial up on most of the settings. Better shooter, bigger, faster, stronger. Not as good of a defender though.
Plus he doesn't get a rebound, dribble up the court, post up a defender, spend the entire shot clock backing him down and then air ball a turnaround fadeaway over him 5 times a game.agree, Jake is
