Thybulle is back to back All Defense 2nd Team. Not a scrub. Reddish hasn’t found a home yet and may not be a scrub.
We played small ball effectively with Winslow at center when we were playing well to start the season.
Sharpe can play guard. I can eventually see a 3-man rotation of Dame, Ant, and Sharpe if Cam and Little can handle SF. Thybule will get situational minutes at guarding the top offensive guards/SF
What I find funny is some say " Ant is only 23 and still has room to grow" Thybulle and Reddish are also only 23 and they are scrubs and busts. Now Ant has shown more on the offensive end, but is no where near the defender. So is it they are 23 and room to grow? or 23 and this is all they are? Seems to depend on if they were drafted by the Blazers or not. ps this was not pointed at you Kingspeed, just adding onto your post.
or it depends on level commitment you put in to get better. Ant has Dames work ethic he will only get better
Jabari Walker is 6'6.75" barefoot, 6'8" in shoes; Knox is exactly 1-inch taller. Listing Walker as 2 inches taller than Knox is messed up. Also, Butler, though 7'1", is a PF, not a C.
Thybulle might start but even if not, he takes GP and Hart’s minutes. Some of Dame, Ant, and Grant’s minutes. He’s the best defender this team has had since Wes or even going back to Sheed. 4th string? Get out of here lol…
I’m glad we got some picks. Interested to see if Reddish becomes something other than a bust (can he pull a Wiggins for us?) Interested to see how/where/if Thybulle gets used. Not a huge change but we got dumpers (guys we can dump and not think twice), picks and possibilities. Curious how the team gels and what moves it may portend for the future. Seriously hoping Sharpe gets significantly more minutes and grows and learns so he is better prepared for becoming a cornerstone.
I doubt if our coaching staff has any idea about rotations ...I'm sure they'll figure it out over the break. Sharpe will be in the rotation but probably as a 2 guard off the bench..a 6 man role.
I respect your input, and hope you're right. Without knowing more about him, it's hard for me to see a 'defensive specialist' that only averages 2.7 ppg getting rotation minutes. ... and the use of 'lol' on this site gets old. It seems that it's used as a slight to diminish the other person's perspective or input. We're all no experts here. We're fans. I enjoy reading everyone's take, even if they're significantly different than mine.
Sure, that's what they say, but there's no way he can legitimately play the 5. He's listed as weighing less than Ant.
