PJ and House - I don't think these two should ever be on the court together. Both of them means on offense we are AT BEST playing 3 on 5. PJ sitting in the corner is maybe a .3 so . . .3.3. on 5 While most of the youngsters are TRY HARDS they still need more development. Who do we think has the most Upside here? The Major problem is HOUSE AND PJ are not stalwart defensive stars House is at best a .1 and PJ is like 80% of his prime. So defense is like 3.9 on 5 on Defense Bruno is not an upgrade to either player. Do we see HOUSE Improving? Like AT ALL? PJ is PJ Cousins, EGO, Wall, BMac (YES BMAC SHOULD START AHEAD OF HOUSE AT THIS POINT) These will make significan difference. I am not sure which we need most a 3 or a 4 . .. . . .. I think we end up with 3 headed monster at both positions. SF - Ego, Bmac, SOMEONE ELSE , House PF - Cousins, PJ, SOMEONE ELSE, Bruno Rocket River
right now we're relying on house to be our 3rd best offensive player on the court. unfortunately he has shown that will not be a plausible situation anytime soon. hopefully with wall/ego/cousins on-court he will be able to manage being the 5th or 6th best offensive player on the court and will also be able to get his head out of his ass and concentrate on D. if not, we need to make a trade, like at 5:45 next tues
Tucker is so dated offensively. He cant be playing 40 min a game. Sucks because Hes been key for us the last few seasons but it is what it is.
Yeah, its getting bad out there. What we need is someone who can drive and shoot threes from all over the court, PJ can only hit from corners. I know his plays good post defense but he seems like a real negative on offense and Nwaba/Brown look better on perimeter D. PJ just seems a bit slow...
id argue nwaba and brown are better, they can at least put the ball on the floor.. the defense with pj is a wash
Really, 8 players and we are going to get picky? It was a kinda all hands on deck situation. Tucker is one of the best corner 3’s players in the NBA. If nothing else a decoy because every team stresses prevention of the short corner 3 defensively. Plus Tucker provided muscle against Nurkic and then Jokic because Wood is too lite in the pants.....Cousins was out for Covid protocol. Bruno a little lite in the pants.....much like Wood. I know you guys are bored, nothing to write or comment about......after a month the players learn the new offense and defense. That’s the trend. I know everyone wants to speed up the process; but baked chicken taken out of the oven at 25 minutes instead of 45 is still not ready. Just because you take it out of the oven doesn’t mean it’s ready.
I thought this was a serious thread until you mentioned Bruno as if he was an actual basketball player.
Man . .. I forgot Bruno was on the team The major issue is that we need to have people on the court who can score and defend Someone said we have one dimensional players. . .. PJ - Every team knows - Play passing lanes to the corner - If he receives it run hard at him and run him off the shot THAT IS IT . . that is the total defense on PJ. How many Layups did we miss???

Anyone with common sense could see that tucker and gordon would fall off eventually. Thats why we were calling to go all in before it was too late
