    I just want Ime to put Fred on minutes restriction for rest of regular season like he does for Tari + Stevo. Like he should have with Jabari. The core 9 need to be healthy going into playoffs.

    Ironically, others are thinking the same way I am. Amen should be the PG moving forward.

    But we do, it was evident that he was covered for when he (Bari) went out with his injury. Amen thrived in his role, who you're stating should be 'fine' to cover for Fred, which I disagree with. Tari was also able to cover for him in tandem with Amen when it comes to length and rebounding.

    I love Amen, believe me I understand he is the future, but he's just not ready to lead an offensive unit just yet. Fred's range, along with Bari's shooting range, are very much needed to run our half court offense smoother than what we have done without him.

    For now Amen's contributions will be best coming off the bench as a super hyper and active 6th man. His offensive style (run and gun) works best for that anyway.

    He is back and ready to give you 47 minutes, back to back.

    When does Fred return to playing ball?

    Can Nate Williams play the point guard position?

    I don't think it needs to be as strict as Tari for example, this was just a strain--but no way should he be playing 36mpg. Should be more like 30 for Fred.

    Yes! Ease him back in. Use our depth! Don't wear Fred out before the playoffs.

    We need a point guard, this point guard doesn't have to be Fred

    Ime should’ve eased Fred back into the lineup. Because he was not hooping tonight. He looked gassed. I blame the coach on this one. He just had the wrong lineups and he didn’t play Cam. Cam could’ve helped us tonight. I know Cam has his flaws but he still produces though.
