    Noah is getting kinda fucked over, I really think he is our best all around PF. Dude plays within himself offensively, plays really good perimeter defense, hustles and gets rebounds. He plays well next to Nurk.

    I agree and also don't know what's up except they're showcasing Collins as tradebait maybe.

    Once again, why would they need to showcase a rookie? The pros aren’t as reactionary as fans.

    Zach is just a better prospect. He provides the same versatility defensively except he’s even longer and will be more dynamic offensively.

    I've been thinking they don't want any more reason for teams to demand him as a deal breaker in a trade. Or that he is a big piece of a possible trade, and are holding him out for that reason.

    Eh. If he geta booed here he'll get booed anywhere. He also has to work on his psyche if hes going to make it anywhere in this league.

    Vonleh had some good games as starter this year, but Aminu has shot so well that there just aren't any minutes for him.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yup. When Aminu is actually canning his threes, he's an extremely valuable power forward. Vonleh has played better this year in short minutes, but not so well, IMO, that he should displace Aminu.

    This year's Vonleh should be playing ahead of last year's Aminu (who shot poorly from three), but not this year's edition of Aminu.

    Is it just me or does Butters look like the type of guy that'll refer to "the guns" in the 3rd person as "blessed" and "forever"? :dunno:
