    I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel this way regarding Jeff Green.

    Also, for every guy he's blocking, he's muting another 20.

    maybe because they are standing next to midgets? Also they look like Broad shoulder body builders unlike Clint who looks like a twig

    i too see uncle Jeff as a monster. After Covington he’s been far and away the most interesting player we’ve seen get picked up like this. They better pay him and keep him.

    Carroll looks like a twerp

    Carroll had about 4 damn near perfect possessions on defense last night in the post.

    Lower minutes and save Tucker for the playoffs please.

    Would not compare him to Matrix on D or O but it is a very flattering comparison. Covington is completely different but just as dynamic. Suns had no one that compares to RoCo. Even JRich or Raja were not as good.

    In our offense, Aaron Gordon would be our Shawn Marion IMO.

    Russ is our Amare, with playmaking and unparalleled speed.

    DMC is such an underrated passer.

    If we’re giving him new nick names

    How about CoviD19? Due to how devastating he is on D!

    Did you not notice he said similarities?:D

    RoCo can also guard 1-5.

    Yes Marion was a freak athlete, but a legit HOF I am not sure about.

    15&9 are not HOF numbers especially when he was a 3rd option at best.

    Ok, I was wrong about Covington. I didn't think he would be worth the trade assets, but he is changing my mind.

    Yeah, I'm kind of the opposite.
    There were a couple of occasions where Cov had an open look 3,
    hesitated, and then passed off to someone else and we had to scramble to find a shot.
    I'd like to see him more like Ben Mac, no hesitation, just shoot it.
    Especially when he has an open look

    i should have clarified in the previous post, i agree on open 3's she should just let it fly. but too many times so far as rocket he's settling for contested 3's when a teammate is more open

    DMC is competing with House IMO.

    Green has already leapfrogged Thabo as PJ's back up.

    Yep,that is the 10 man rotation right now.

    Thabo and Bruno are just garbage men right now. Hoping Bruno is given more burn, his LLENGTH and skillset could take our new system even further offensively AND defensively IMO.

    I think Covington benefits a lot from opponents trying to get into the paint to take advantage of their lack of size.

    He has a long reach and quick hands and teams probably think it’s gonna be sweet in there but it ain’t.
