    Here's the problem that I'm seeing....

    This isn't a youth movement. It feels like we're trying to win.

    Simons... Grant.... Brogdon.... Williams... Ayton.... Thybulle.

    How will Scoot and Sharpe improve when they have to share the ball with six other veterans? Of course Sharpe looks like ass. He's standing in the corner waiting for the ball.

    Scoot brings the ball up the court and immediately gives it to Simons. Both possessions. And then spots up. How is that taking advantage of Scoot's skills?

    It's kind of like he's being told to just be there. I don't care if he misses all of his shots, I want him to get the feel of the game, and learn not to be a deer in headlights.

    People need to calm down on Sharpe. He's 20 years old. It took Simons four years to become anything.

    There's not a lot of cohesiveness to the teams play. Some of that is that there's so many new guys, but also some of that is I'm not sure there is any kind of offensive cohesiveness.

    How long will Ayton be happy to just be the rebound jockey on this team?

    Difference is, Simons was 80 pounds soaking wet and was drafted about where he should've been. Sharpe was a lotto pick, and should be further along.
