and again our worst defender? Let's see if he can improve his defense from awful to not so awful, not concerned about his offense
Knox was my favorite interview and I liked them all love Sharpe but really hope he gets some Alpha in him. He’s pretty laid back.
I'm puzzled about keeping Brogdon. It kind of caught me off guard (and I hate puns for the most part, so no).
Honestly unless Scoot and Shae are blowing the doors off of everyone in training camp I wouldn't mind seeing a starting lineup of Brogdon, Ant, Matisse, Jerami and Ayton. I think that lineup will look really good together, everyone will excel in their roles. Then in the middle of January I'd trade every starter besides Deandre. Get picks, young players, expiring contracts and let all of the young guys ball out for the rest of the season.
He tried to dunk over Rudy Gobert. I'd rather he be alpha on the court than in the press room. Isn't Kawhi Leonard pretty quiet?
I think it's simple (not sure of course). Cronin couldn't get what he wanted in his last Dame-trade piece.
No way any of us can be sure, but these are my thoughts as well. I'm guessing they will hold onto him and play him for time being, until the right trade comes along. Until then, they will give good PR answers, but I imagine they have talked with Malcolm behind the scenes about it. Probably something like "play hard and have a good attitude and we promise to try to get you to a good situation by the deadline".
With guys like Matisse and Ayton out there with him, they’ll take his 20+ a night ppg and not worry to much about his d.
I absolutely believe those 5 plus Scoot, Sharpe, and Williams will get the majority of the minutes. That's 8 guys. Murray and Walker round out the basic 10-man. Maybe that lineup doesn't have quite the necessary combination of talent/experience to be a playoff team, but I don't see why there should be any "passive tanking" with our roster. I mean, which young player is going to get developmental minutes at the expense of one of the veterans? We have (as far as I'm aware) 5 clear third-stringers in Rupert, Camara, Knox, Brown and Reath (not counting the 2-way guys). There's absolutely no reason not to play all our vets solid minutes.
You might be satisfied with that but I am not, he's got to get better at D, he's a matador out there on D, he does not have to be good, just get your D to decent and that works
Not a fan of Tisse/Jerami at the forwards regardless of who plays the guards. Rebounding is important
I think that’s why he dropped in the draft as well. It was reported that he was awful during interviews.
Knox will be a nice surprise this year, Im thinking. He mentioned playing fast like when at Kentucky, and you could tell his confidence is much better.
