    He's been given more than enough time. He needs to go.

    I'm still a Meyers fan but at this point he is going to be a floor spacer of the bench providing offense when we need it. He should be comfortable in this role, and if he is he could end up finding his way to get back into the starting unit. If he's not comfortable in this role then he doesn't really have a place in this team first system.

    That has always been the best comparison for his skillset and development arc (except that Hawes got big minutes from the beginning in SAC). And honestly, if Meyers can approximate Hawes' production in Philadelphia from 2010-2013, I think we should all be thrilled.

    Now that Dame is hitting more swish3s I think it's only a matter of time before Meyers finds his shot again and is hitting some swish3s as well.

    My brain doesn't see "swishes" when he types that. It sees "swish threes," which for some reason I find hilarious.

    I like Leonard but he has been a project for long enough. It is time for him to stand on his own two feet and show us what he's got, period. He hasn't shown us that he is good enough to start yet. I don't want to put him down but he needs to take a page out of Crabbe's book and step up his game. If he can't do that much by the end of the season then it's time to cut our losses on him.

    I literally did not realize it was swishes until just now. I've been reading it thus entire time as swish threes.

    It is swish 3's. The OP's username is swish3. He's specifically referencing 3 point shots. He doesn't really care if they swish or not.

    That absolutely did not graze the rim at all? Good question! :)
