    I like the lineup change. Vonleh is more effective when playing with Dame and CJ. Turner as the 3rd ball-handler instead of 2nd might be better.

    Crabbe makes a higher percentage of 3's than anyone on the team so...

    And Harkless makes a higher percentage of threes than Dame so...

    May as well. I like Harkless, but Turner can create easies for others. Both aren't great shooters, Harkless is ok, and both play solid defense, so no real loss when starting Turner.

    I would hope so. Teams leave the players that arent Dame or CJ on purpose. Give Dame wide open looks all the time and we would see if that changes.

    He's created a couple of great shots for his teammates by driving deep enough to draw that other defender. His lose dribbling attracts more defense because they think they can get a steal, so it can actually be an effective thing for him at times

    Put Leonard on Embiid and tell him he's Demarcus Cousins. Leonard could get in his head with his physicality.

    Olshey said Turner would start when we first signed him. It just took him 45 games to remember he said that.

    Davis is both too SLOW and too LITTLE to guard Embiid.

    So instead we should make it worse and not have anyone but those two shoot?

    Did I say that? I was just merely stating that most of our team is not good at shooting jumpers. Just because Dame and CJ may have lower percentages than some does not make them non jump shooters when they are easily our best especially when you factor in they get all the attention.
