    He is aggressive in a different kind of way, he is looking for his own shot as well.

    I guess there is only so much you can do if all your minutes are with Alpi and Jalen. They need the shots

    I seriously doubt Ime is playing those games. He’s just trying to get wins and experimenting with different rotations.

    I noticed he just gets ignored when standing at the 3 pt line Sengun generally looks in the other side to either FVV, Jalen or DB.

    I dont think its personal as Sengun passes to him when they are both in the paint.

    I doubt this is the case. Ime just wants to win he isnt playing the extension games. He isnt the one paying their salaries and he is being graded on wins and losses not cap moves.

    Nah I think just make a slightly low offer and then if he doesnt like let him hit RFA. Letting the market doesnt bring us any benefit and you run the risk of him being overpaid.

    His current job is to score not to pass. When he cant score like tonight he is showing he can be a good playmaker.

    I still think he should start. Amen should be point and Fred should be backup.
