    Camara is a better player than Thybulle and should he starting instead of him.

    What will Dallas give us for Tisse? That starting 3 spot is looking like Toumani has a shot at it.

    There was a lot of positive of that game offensive rebounds and steals and only 15 turnovers not a team that haven't played together very long. 23 assist and 14 in the second half. All the young guys had there good moments in the game. Of course the shining negative right is on the defense side.

    Thybulle looks like he wants to be in Dallas so far

    Great effort by the good guys tonight! Gave me some hope! Walker, Sharpe, Scoot and Camara really closed the gap with Mays at point. Hell of an effort! Get the next one!

    You can probably plug Toumara into the starting lineup and not worry. Defense, rebounding, open shots. That's what you want right?

    I doubt that. He played hard, he just shot the 3 ball poorly.

    Scoot/Simons/Toumani/Grant/Ayton.

    Brogdon/Shaedon/Thybulle/Bari/Williams.

    Really solid 10 man rotation. Move at least 2 of Brogdon/Grant/Thybulle at the deadline for draft picks.

    his defense looks awful when there isn't a solid rim protector behind him. and made blunders getting out to the corners. Camara looks a lot more solid tbh. One game but still.

    I would think Grant/Camara could be switchable at PF/SF, nice size/length, Camara can rebound while Grant can't

    Serious? This sounds like an agenda post. He played very well tonight. Give him some credit.

    Might as well just play Grant at SF. He doesn't even try to rebound.

    He has earned it. clearly a better and more well-rounded player.

    Although I don't know what criteria Billips uses.
