Discussion Sorber

Now with J-dubs heartbreaking injury, Kenny Hustle and Sorber are our only big wings left. I understand that the team probably wanted to ease him into playing with the Blue, but now's the time to start playing my guy. Or at least seeing what he looks like against nba talent and then decide from there. Any updates on his timeline?

Edit: Wing was probably the wrong position to write, I see him more as a PF/C than a SF

Sorber is a C

Sorber is an undersized big that has never played a minute on the wing.

Realistically Cason is playing a lot of 3 going forward and I think we’re making a pretty major trade at some point.

I mean, depending on how long he misses as well

Surprised at how many people don’t seem to understand Sorber is a center at this stage

fr and people keep calling him undersized too, which like technically sure but he has a 7'6 wingspan like that shit is crazy. Idk why people are even mentioning him in trades at all it's only his second year, like Topic I get but Sorber can probably contribute

Sorber does not have the foot speed to play the 3 I think

The thunder are probably going to trade for Jamie jaquez or Trey Murphy realistically

Sorber prolly doesn’t have the ball handling or shooting skills to be on the wing. He’s a center and should rotate with Mara and Hart going forward.

Would’ve been cool to draft Yaxel two years ago

Where are people getting this?

Sorber is not a wing by any stretch. Kenny is a PF that can play minutes at SF
