I'll be the first to say it:

After two solid years of Peter Jurkin we might end up with Cockburn.

Sigh.

From Peter Jurkin to Kofi Cockburn.

That's what she said! ... sorry lol it was there and I had to go with it. Seriously though, really intrigued with this guy. Already looks like he's got more hops than what we got there now. Looks pretty athletic.

We could have gone from a Peter Jurkin to a massive BeeJay (Anya) ultimately to a (Kofi) Cockburn.

On a more serious note, this would be a great get. We need an anchor in the middle on defense and can offensive rebound. If he can run the floor and get a bucket with his back to the basket all the better.

I feel more sorry for Mrs. Cockburn.

 I mean, his last name is Cockburn. He would probably laugh, I'm sure he's used to the jokes by now.

Hope he marries a girl named Anita...

If we get T-Wat are we more or less likely to get Cockburn?

 

I mean, consider how smooth T-Wat is...

If we get T-Wat I think we're all in on Cockburn, according to Twitter.

Not if T-Wat is smooth...

I really think the best thing for Cockburn would be playing with a T-Wat. The smoother the better.

I feel like T-Wat is overhyped. But probably better than Peter Jurkin.

Nah, it's just one of those things. You know, like, Fruit of the Loom undergarments are fine until you discover the comfort of something like Tommy John or MeUndies and you're like "what the hell was I thinking?"

 

After the first time the team plays with T-Wat, they'll wonder why they wasted so much time with Peter Jurkin.
