    Again they sleep on what our staff does with development of players....Napier will improve here as will Turner...they can revisit this around Christmas and tell me how weak or guard rotation and rim protection is then...

    I am opening up a twitter account just for the sole purpose of trolling ford and englemann throughout the season. These predictions are outright unjust, uneducated and insulting. I guess they are getting the reaction and attention they were driving for when written.

    Engelmann: Point guard depth is an issue. The only true PG on the roster, besides Lillard, is Shabazz Napier, who recorded a -4.4 RPM last season, good for bottom 25 in the league. Yes, McCollum and Turner can handle the ball-handling duties, but Napier has looked almost useless in all other facets of the game as well.

    Hahaahhah

    Welp, glad to hear that people are doubting us again. That's exactly where we like to be.

    The only reason any one "doubts" us is because they don't even know who the fuck we are. lol.

    I find it funny that the Thunder got worse, the Clippers didn't improve at all, and the Spurs lost their heart and soul.... but our team that finished 5th last year, and added some solid pieces in Turner and Ezeli without giving up any of or core..... won't be in the top 4.

    The statement about Delavadova and Jared Dudley is to emphasize our lack of depth in the back-court. I think either could be a decent 10-15 player for us but he was exaggerating no doubt. I actually think Pat has gotten much more comfortable and could maybe get some minutes in this role

    I think it's either Jarret Grant (that's his name?) or Montero. I think Pat stays
