NBA teams want lengthy, agile centers who can shoot the three, pass, and guard the perimeter. Kofi doesn’t really check any of those boxes unfortunately.60 percent of nba teams play undersized centers. You are telling me kofi can’t score regularly down in the post against the undersized guys?

I’m not saying that kofi will be a top line starter on a playoff team. I do think he can fill a niche off the bench and punish teams that play under sized centers. He can give them a little scoring punch from the bench as a back up center. That’s great value for an undrafted free agent
Bam Adebayo, Rudy Gobert, Robert Williams III, Joel Embiid, Deandre Ayton, Brook Lopez, KAT, Clint Capela, Steven Adams, Jusuf Nurkic, Myles Turner are the matchups where I wouldn’t side with Kofi on offense. So that’s already 37% of the league, and I’m probably forgetting/underselling others.Like who?

In all honesty, it’s m excited about the collection of guys & coaches we have for next season. I do hope finds a spot on a roaster somewhere.
I hope so but 2-way deals are hard to come by. Each team only gets 2. If NBA front offices thought he was worthy of a 2-way, they'd probably have taken him in the 2nd round, so he'll likely have to convince whatever team he signs for to use one on him over a more experienced player or a drafted player. (And yes, I know Bulls didn't pass on him as they did not have 2nd round pick, but what aren't the odds that their scouts see him that differently from the consensus).Kofi definitely deserves a 2-way deal. Hopefully with Bulls.
What is even the point of saying this? Nobody is saying Kofi is able to matchup well with Jokic. Almost nobody matches up well with Jokic. This horse is beat dude. Let it die.Nikola Jokic would dominate Kofi so badly it's not even funny.
Seems that Bulls signed the 2-way deal with Justin Lewis of Marquette. A solid player based on the only game I watched him play (with us). I guess Kofi will at least earn a spot in the summer league somewhere, and he can prove his capability as a pro player.I hope so but 2-way deals are hard to come by. Each team only gets 2.

In some respects it might also be better not to get a 2-way. If you're not on a 2-way, another team can sign you when they have a need. That's how Malcolm Hill ended up on the Bulls. Might be an easier path ro the League.
Yes I agree that the modern nba doesn’t fit kofi’s game unlike 15 years ago. But I think he can provide value on the right team in the right role. We’re talking against backup undersized centers. If he can find a way to contribute defensively (think brook lopez), he can provide value offensively. This won’t happen right away, but i think it’sa worthwhile shot for an undrafted free agent. And if you can get that value at minimal cost, that can help a team^This guy gets it.
Look, Kofi is a center of a bygone era in the NBA. Kofi can't shoot outside of 10 feet. And his defense, especially in drop coverage, leaves A LOT to be desired.
Kofi wouldn’t be matched against these guys, but their backups. Kofi can’t score on the Justin dedmons and the Tristan thompsons of the world? I think he would at a good rateBam Adebayo, Rudy Gobert, Robert Williams III, Joel Embiid, Deandre Ayton, Brook Lopez, KAT, Clint Capela, Steven Adams, Jusuf Nurkic, Myles Turner are the matchups where I wouldn’t side with Kofi on offense.

It doesn’t matter what kofi scores. Teams will make him guard pick and rolls and once there’s help and rotation, they’re scoring 3 while kofi scores 2.Kofi wouldn’t be matched against these guys, but their backups.

If brook lopez can be an asset on defense, i don’t see why kofi cant do the same with some experience and developmentIt doesn’t matter what kofi scores. Teams will make him guard pick and rolls and once there’s help and rotation, they’re scoring 3 while kofi scores 2.
