    I don't even remember. There seems to be quite a few users who have gone missing since the middle of last season. out of sight - out of mind! :devilwink:

    I don't know, but I'm guessing that some thought him bad at PG (so try him at SG), some at SG (so try him at PG), some at combo (so try to make him a specialist), and some at all positions.

    Either
    1. This is the absolutely worst bench in history.
    2. It's a coincidence.
    3. It's the coach's system.

    I always vote for #3.

    For his role in Smith/Faired pick, how the hell does Buchanan still have a job as a SCOUT?!

    It will soon change. When one of our starters goes down with injury because of the massive amounts of minutes played, one of these guys will become a starter.

    terrible bench with very little scoring putting a lot of pressure on the starters

    Price had a stat line resembling something useful. Impressive that JJ had a +18 in 9 minutes of work. Can you say glue that makes all of the other pieces work?

    Total for the bench tonight:

    65 minutes
    19 points
    6-16 FGM
    2-2 FT
    2 O reb
    11D reb
    3 assists
    4 steals
    1 block
    5 turnovers
    12 fouls
    -26

    Sadly, those numbers are an improvement. Trying to find data, but no team has been as bad as our bench over the past 15 years. I think the worst bench averaged 17 points.

    JJ played 33 minutes. Or are you talking about Jeffries?

    SUCCESS!
