    Bullocks 3 ball tends to disappear early in the year but always seems to return during December

    Landale is bad.
    Tari has missed games.
    Amen has missed games.
    Holiday has been decent.

    What can one expect?

    Give Cam Bullocks minutes. Look for a back up 5 immediately.

    I just don't see how Cam can play worse than Green, Cam is a better shooter and stronger... Green can't pass either so that's a wash... Green is very athletic thou and can be explosive off the bench.

    If KPJ wasnt a nut job and bought in, he’d be an awesome sixth man. Then again, that’s the reason 29 out of 31 teams wouldn’t even take a flyer on his azz

    Bullock sucks but Cam is likely to be even worse, much worse, lol. The dude is wayyyyy too raw and has a very low bball iq. For now he’s a bit of a project.

    Lol this is absurd. There is a reason Green is still a rotation player in the league at 37. Cam is a super raw 19 year old athlete. He has a decent shot and is obviously a supreme athlete but right now he’s clueless and naive AF when it comes to playing NBA ball.

    Are you trolling? He meant Jalen, not Uncle Jeff. If trolling, carry on.

    Sorry didn’t realize. My fault. But no Cam should not be getting Jalen’s minutes either. Again, right now Cam would suck really bad. He’d easily average a double digit negative +\-

    I was hoping for a little more of an offensive game from Landale but he looks like a stiff so far.

    Tate, Eason, Amen (when healthy), Holiday, and Green is not a bad bench.

    I’d really love to go get Buddy Hield and give him a 2
    3-4 year extension. Maybe put a top 4 protection on the Brooklyn pick?

    Hield and Jalen Smith for Dipo,Landale,Bullock and Brooklyn pick top 4 protected?

    An incomplete bench. Green is 6'8". No size. Needs another quality big IMO.

    Yeah, it's not a bad bench, would do well against some teams, but against teams with quality frontcourt depth, it's not a great bench with Landale playing like ass. Even just a dude like Drummond or some savvy vet with real size would do wonders when we face teams like Minnesota moving forward.
