Skal Labissiere has emerged as one of the NBA's most promising rookies following the trade of DeMarcus Cousins.
Labissiere entered his freshman season at Kentucky as one of the most highly rated prospects but fell to the Sacramento Kings at No. 28.
“Skal can be special,” Vlade Divac said. “He has size and skill, and he’s a great kid. We’re very, very lucky.”
“I’m feeling a little more comfortable out there,” Labissiere said, with a soft smile. “It’s me learning at my own pace, not getting rushed, learning how to see things on the court. It’s not about the next three or four games, it’s about the next couple years, learning how to play with each, develop our chemistry. I’m nowhere near (physically) where I want to be. But this should be a fun summer. Lots of time with the weights, and working on all aspects of my game.”
