    The thing that's gonna hurt Camara is that I don't think he's a power forward, and we don't have minutes at small forward right now.

    Murray is out there and he's invisible.

    Rupert, Camara, and Murray are all kinda built the same.

    I think if we move Brogdon, and free up minutes at guard for Sharpe, there could be some time for Camara at small forward.

    Still kinda like that idea.

    Camara reminds me of the Morris twins when they were young, as body type and possible role.

    I wasn’t the only one who commented about the defense of the backcourt. I think I was maybe 4th or 5th.

    It’s just an observation. Are you going to ignore how I said I was impressed with Ayton and Scoot also?

    And if Scoot is in foul trouble (4 fouls) with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, you bet your ass you’re gonna see more comments about his defense.

    You’ll also see more about Simons defense as well.

    If you want, you can look at my post history and see me bitch about Dame, CJ, and Simons (Sharpe too) in the past as well.

    Consistency.

    I hold em to the same standard. You act like it’s a Scoot-specific topic. It’s not.

    A lot of over-reaction in this thread.

    I suppose. We're going to see a lot of people play this year. Not because they earned it though

    At this point all I care about is if Scoot and Simons are active on defense. Fouls can mean they're active, but they can also reflect stupid decisions. I guess we'll see how they look on Thursday.

    That's a very odd statement.
