Tucker shouldn’t start and if he is he shouldn’t be playing 34 mins to give us 0 points. Keep him coming off the bench and play him for 15-20 minutes. We can play him at the end of games but let’s keep him fresh and or just trade him. He wanted out we need to develop our young guys and Jones needs more minutes also either play Ben more than 2 minutes or just trade him if Silas isn’t going to use him. Plus Ben should be getting more looks but whenever he is in wall or Vic just iso and don’t pass it or if they do is a bad pass or defended closely. We know Ben can shoot 3 in a hurry. Even if we end up trading him we could use his shooting. Vic, wall and boogie are shooting a ton of 3 yet they aren’t shooting great. Cousins is shooting ok in the last games but Ben should be shooting at least 5 3s a game. i didn’t like the ball movement last game even when Silas called a time out. Wall and Victor would still iso and they shot a lot of contested ones.
Yea house hasn’t done much He gave a couple of passes that were almost turnovers and looked lost at times. He still played more minutes than Ben or Jones. And I don’t understand why if he hasn’t look great. also I hope we can move from PJ soon. For him to be in a contender and for us to get something in return.
Perhaps Harden and Russ were on to something when they supported Lucas for HC. Especially if Lucas is responsible for how prepared and productive the new guys and the youngsters are performing. That 2nd unit has been fire. Especially on defense. And we all know how fond Silas is of Wall, Cousins, Oladipo, House and BMac - same guys who have underperformed based on expectations. The only outlier is Wood who is a Silas favorite but has overachieved. Except on defense.
I think... Wall Oladipo Brown Wood Cousins is the most talented and versatile lineup. Don’t flame me if advanced stats don’t favor Brown, but the eye test tells me he’s a solid 3&D guy. But really, anyone over Tucker and House. Tired of zero or low single digit scoring outputs from those two
