Again its just vapid rhetoric with nothing to back it up Or like people with basketball IQ can see the progression path of players? Didi, at the very WORST, is a good defensive guard. If you don't have confidence in Fred to get guys plus 3P shots than I don't know what to tell you dude. He fixed Ingram and Lonzo, both Zion and Hayes have shown flashes. The guy is a shooting wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have any proven sources of offense outside of Sato and no proven shooters. That’s not a recipe for success. You can have a little more nuance than the takes being thrown around here As we've seen time and time again...Bringing in a lot of veterans does nothing but keep the young guys on the bench. This was the reason SVG got fired. What a waste of a year. Imagine if Hayes, NAW, Kira and Naji all played good minutes all season? We still miss the playoffs but those guys probably see significantly more growth. Stop bringing in washed up veterans for the sake of having veterans. LET THE YOUNG BUCKS GROW!!!!

JMG5 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We have a huge trade exception and could still potentially roll Hield into the Bulls deal. There is still room for moves to be made and if they aren't then we will roll with the young guys and see how they've progressed. The roster isn't perfect, but it is improved from a year ago. Just have to wait and see how improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His refusal to bench Bledsoe pissed me off so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieMonstah Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Summer League means nothing, but the difference in defensive intensity is EVIDENT. Herbert Jones might end up being the best pick of the second round. Guys floor is going to be an elite defender, if he can get even a mediocre shot he will be one of the better role players in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could become a Joe Ingles type player if his shot develops, solid playmaker, very good defender, solid shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jones can be a 36-38% shooter he will be very valuable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think now more than ever you have to have a coach who’s been in it. No one wants to listen to the fat balding white guy. No offense to fat balding white guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
