We had to settle for a guy that can barely even dribble. Hopefully Jabari turns out to be a decent role player for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 All the talk about making defense work with Paolo and they end up with Jabari and Eason and might be one of the better defensive teams in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 The ONLY reason I was upset about Paolo going 1, was because I thought it meant we would end up with Holmgren jabari smith is gonna be a stud. A FREAKING STUD He is a legit 6-8.5, maybe 6-9 which is something we’ve not had at the 4 in a very long time. Dude shoots the ball as well as anyone in the draft. yes his handles need work, but he has the tools to grow in that area. This was a steal for us. this draft creates a lot of competition. Eason, KJ and Garuba are basically gonna fight it out for a roster spot. Yeah we won’t cut either of the 1st round guys this year but down the line they will be. This probably forces KJ out or he makes a huge jump forward. Tyty Washington gonna be in a battle with Nix and Christopher for a back up spot off the bench. If that 3 way battle goes well, we might let KPJ walk instead of paying him big time to stay. what a turn around for the franchise. We went from being in a mess after a failed attempt to win a ring to having 7 1st round picks on the team after 2 years. the two 2nd rounders are valuable assets too. They allow you to trade minor contracts. If you have a guy making under 5 million and need some space, a 2nd and some cash can take care of that. we have all this young talent, another top 5 pick next year, probably a legit coach at that point and 70+ million in cap space. We are on the right track. We just need guys to develop. my current game 1 projected starting line up is KPJ/Gordon/Green/Tate/Sengun obviously smith could start over Tate but I think we might take a different approach after how horrible green did to start the season. obviously if we trade Gordon it changes things.

Texansfan713 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) I'll be shocked if Smith doesnt start game 1. Porter Jr. Green Gordon Smith Jr. Sengun Christopher Tate Eason Garuba If I had to guess the rotation early.

I thought for sure he would be dealt last night. Sixers opted for Deanthony Melton instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 I’m not 100% sold on Sengun being more than a back up big. He isn’t good enough defensively to play big time minutes and I’m not sure I see the tools there. I think he finds his role playing about 20 minutes a night, which might come from a starting position but I think we end up going small ball especially when we have Smith, Eason and Garuba who can all defend multiple positions.

They just don't provide a ton of scoring and just okay spacing player together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Sucks we are not bringing back Fernando. I thought he played well for us when we traded for him. Schroeder not coming back isnt a shock. PG: KPJ/Washington SG: Green/Christopher SF: Gordon/Tate PF: Smith Jr./Eason C Sengun/Garuba I like the roster going forward.

Victor would fit well with your group and so would Scoot Henderson next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Summer League roster. No Sengun but this team is stacked. Good gesture letting Eric Gordon's brother be on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
