    I just don't trust Oladipo with the ball anymore. Something has to change.

    Neither is mason Jones. Stop forcing players to play out of role.

    Oh we need him, especially with Wood out. People have complaints, and some are valid, but his ability to rebound is a good enough reason alone to keep him. Put Tucker out there at the 5 and we'd be absolutely destroyed on the boards. He'd be a solid back up center for us.

    Mason Jones is like the only actually young prospect we have, he needs more minutes.

    Indeed. There was the good, the bad and the ugly.

    seems composed out there. Just slow on the feet. If he wants to stay in the league he needs to step up his D and keep stroking 3 ball.

    They're hiding him until after the deadline.
    Wishful thinking.

    Mason played point in College did he not? Came into the league as a point guard if I remember correctly.

    However, if you're right about that, then who the heck would you be playing at point right now with Wall out?

    Yes, but he's better than Dipo.

    If only Porter wasn't sent down to Vipers.

    I'd keep a guy like Sterling Brown longterm. He's a championship player off the bench.

    I was saying Dipo wasn't a point guard. I agree he needs to be playing the 2, but at the moment with the injuries, he has to. Mason has to come off the bench as our back up point. If you start Mason with Dipo, then you're asking Sterling Brown to be our back up PG which is not a good option at all.

    It’s not as much about age as it is about learning to play within the NBA, atleast that’s my opinion. I think Tate still has plenty of room to grow despite being „old“ by rookie standards
