    It's simple. Jalen prospers when we play faster. Right now we're playing at snails pace & making every game a slugfest. Udoka needs to open up the offense and play Jabari more at the 5 to spread the court

    At this point we're stuck with the scrub since he has significant negative value

    By "snails pace" you mean only slightly above league average.

    The reason he plays better at a faster pace is because his only value is in transition where his athleticism can make up for his complete lack of skill.

    It's strange people say worst starter. We don't know who that is. Lol

    We're only 23 games in and at some point during this season, people wanted to trade Sengun because he was struggling, trade Jabari because he was struggling and trade Jalen because he was struggling. SMH

    How would you rank our 5 starters through this season? From best to worst?

    If we cut Jalen before the season, that would mean we lose our worst player and play our best lineup more.....

    Good question! I rank by games they have single handly won and/or helped win.

    1A and 1B) Jalen and Sengun or Sengun and Jalen, whichever - I think they have each personally had a hand in winning 5 or more games just on their play. Helped in winning another 2 or 3.

    2) FVV - Fred started off slow but he has picked it up. He personally won the OKC game by himself.

    3) Brooks - has been steady ALL YR but has not won a game by himself

    4) Jabari - started the yr off horribly but has progressed

    What do you think?
