    I don't know....but I would include Caleb in a Leonard deal for the right piece. Then keep Noah Davis, and Collins moving forward. Teams are going to want a young piece in order to give value back.

    But.... if we showcase him and he's good.... why are we giving him away with someone who hasn't proven anything?

    I think most thought 23 wins was pretty extreme.
    Just sayin. ;)

    Welp, that didn't last long! I really like how Tater is patient with his young players, and shows confidence in them rather than yanking them around like a knob.

    I don't think Swanigan has much upside. I see him as like a 3rd string level talent. He's slow, and doesn't have the height/length to make up for it. Look at what he does when he gets the ball under the hoop, he sits there and pump fakes like a 6 foot guard. I don't understand why we took him with so many other forwards, including Collins.

    His game reminds me of The Rhino, Craig Smith.

    I kept quiet when Biggie was put into the starting 5 because my gut told me Vonleh is is still the right move. I wanted to be wrong.

    I wasn’t.

    For now.

    Put Vonleh back in.

    No it was early in the game. Instead of pulling CJ at the 5 minute mark of the first quarter, he left CJ in to continue playing with Dame. Then he took both out and put in Napier/Pat. And he did it again tonight. A few games back, in postgame, Stotts said he likes Napier and wished he could play more. Well, Napier had only 2 turnovers all season so he let Napier run the second unit and it worked. Put him in with a 2 point lead (not smashing) and the lead grew to 12.

    Vonleh is playing better off bench.

    I like Vonleh. It hurt me to see him aiming his outside shots tonight instead of shooting them like he did the previous game. Looked like he lacked confidence in his shot.
