    Finisher is debatable. The spacing is pretty bad with the regulars, compared to the cpr group. Nwaba can get in the paint pretty easily against most perimeter defenders. Kj not so much

    it IS scraps....however well nwaba gordon and house play you aint getting a lot more for them than youd get for them anyway....they are who they are at this point, another 40 games will change nothing...its called penny pinching and being a slave to customary ways of doing things...and 40 games could make KJM into a player the picks may never become....and you lose also 40 games of him making a chemistry with sengun green and others from the core

    He has to play more. He’s just about as important to the future of this team as anyone on the roster. I think people forget how young he really is still.

    You must've missed the literal thousands of posts of people saying the same thing then.

    Silas is just stuck on dumb. Need to just give him a firm tap on the back and his senses will return.

    We just really don’t need Theis, it was a safe signing but I think the young guys are going to be ready for minutes sooner than expected.

    I really hope we can package him with Gordon at the deadline for expirings and a late first rounder. Would allow us cap space earlier, which means we can subsequently absorb a great player, or a short bad contract and another first rounder. Could probably chill on the rebuild at that point and go after a worthy max player.

    Keep his minutes down
    Resign him to a cheap 4 year deal after next season
    Profit

    This seems more like a "you're not going to play just because you are Kenton Martins son". Which is silly because he's played well enough when in game.

    man I hope that’s not the case because Silas should never complain about the powers of nepotism

    I want him to get more playing time and be a core piece for the present and the future.

    The odd argument that KJ Martin Jr should get playing time at the expense of Nwaba is ridiculous.

    You guys are hilarious.

    "We need to play to win!!!!"

    "Why are we playing Theis over KMJ?"

    He should get any minutes given to House, Nwaba has earned his minutes

    He is WAY better than NWaba, who is a journeyman, a dime a dozen player.
