    If Sullivan and the rest of the player development/shooting coaches can fix Amen's shot it may be the single greatest accomplishment of their careers. The new emphasis on player development and bringing in top notch coaches to help our young players along the way is a big reason why I'm so hopeful. Hiring Ime will pay more dividends than I think most of us realize long term. I'm really looking forward to what the coaches can do to help Amen and Sengun with their 3 point shooting. Although the whole team should benefit. Including Dillon and Fred.

    Well it's nice to be excited about shooting form on a potential superstar rather than getting excited about Scott Machado.

    all jalen needed were good mentors. The dude came in ready to work as a rookie but was derailed by silas and kpj.

    FVV and Ime going to turn Jalen into a dog.

    Jalen Green was pleading for Leadership at 19 years old. Silas, KPJ, Wood all sabotage. imagine where Jalen would be now with good leadership.

    Not making excuses but Wood didn't know himself how to be a leader. He was 24, 25 at the time and had been a bench player everywhere else.

    Wood left college too early, went overseas and bounced around the league. When Harden and Tucker left, that was it. So it was the blind leading the blind.

    No, I think you are taking this in the wrong way. They are talking about Alpi because he's the starting 5. Your big is the anchor on defense

    This is too easy of an excuse for everyone else. Everyone has to play defense - ESPECIALLY if you are switching everything.

    I like the pressure on the players to step up on Defense. I hope Udoka yanks anyone off the court who doesn't make their assignment. Like 2 strikes and you're benched for the next 5 min.

    I mean everyone has been saying that defense is their focus for this year. Again, I don't think Alpi's teammates are calling him out. They are all buddies especially the young guys.

    That's great, but you'd kind of expect it without any other quality true bigs in camp.
