    I don't see why not? It's not like our end of the bench guys are guaranteed

    I think Swanigan gets minutes. Collins is very much a project

    Blazers get torched in the 2nd quarter of some very ugly basketball.

    Fuck. The only guy able to make a shot for us is done. We might not score 30 this game.

    Just what I was told by the same guy that told me a month before the Draft they were very interested in Collins.

    I don't think any of these guys will get minutes. Vonleh is better than Swanigan.

    Our second unit is fucked if we don't get a legit backup pg.

    Ulis was my #1 choice before he became a double/double machine as soon as he became a starter.

    Highlight tapes are a bitch... I was convinced he'd be at least decent in the post.

    Wow. Great game yesterday, shitty game today.

    And yeah, as Cippy said: Collins is definitely a project. Like we don't have enough of those already.

    And why is Patty even on this team?

    So I can only assume you're not watching the game, because BiggE is showing pro-ready ability.

    LOL Swanigan is getting like 10x more hype from the media/fans than the guy we picked 16 spots ahead of him.

    I wasn't. I saw a huge fucking project that baffled me as to why we took him with a lottery pick.

    If he's contributing in 3 years, I'll be surprised.

    We didn't look that different yesterday, it's just that Utah's team was much worse.

    No he is not. He is playing well, but he hasn't shown anything that suggests he can play in a meaningful NBA game.

    As quick says here I do think playing with Dame and CJ frees up Collins the way Dame and CJ attract attention and double teams

    Neither of this 'bigs' is an offensive go-to guy on his own. But they could both be nice with some decent guard play and off of others who create double-teams. That was always the way it was with Collins and I see that with Biggie as well.
