Jabari and Reed Who the ***** are our scouts on this team? Your job is to watch basketball year round...how do you conclude that Reed Sheppard is better than Stephon Castle?
Is there more than one of the Bulls? Terry is just a small salary throw-in to get under 1st apron that has not worked as an NBA player.
they just drafted based off mock drafts I admire a guy like Masai who took heat for going with Scottie Barnes when Suggs was the consensus. You see how that turned out.
I am looking at Jabari’s stats. He took 8 shots in 37 minutes. That is ridiculous. He should be taking at least 4-5 more. His main contribution on offense is shooting. You can’t keep him on the floor without shooting. That is a losing recipe and that is a ime problem.
We already deal with ongoing malfunctions with the rim. 4 more Jabari shots and you better have a new rim on standby.
I suppose you're right. I'd also feel better had we taken Scottie Barnes or Franz Wagner over Jalen or somehow walked away with Jalen Johnson. There were other options in some years.
Hind sight but I wanted to trade the no.2 to toronto for the fifth pick and Barnes and I think the 10th pick to get Sengun. Toronto was looking to move up un the draft for Mobley
Even having picked Nembhard over TyTy would have made a difference right now. Only major draft success we've had was going after and getting Sengun from OKC of all front offices. Tari, I guess... if he stayed healthy. But since he hasn't it's kinda whatever. Hard to credit him for Amen, who was just consensus BPA. Stone's drafting has been pretty meh. It could be a lot worse, I guess, but it's not highly impressive either.
Lol no. Issue is that the ownership, GM and fanbase have been impatient as hell. Send Jabari and Reed to a team that will give them a green light and watch what happens. Instead theyre scared AF to take a shot because the right decision is "give ball to a vet" in the coaches eyes or else theyll ride the pine. I cant laugh enough at them getting beat by a team with no real ****ing vets except Fox literally letting their young guys do whatever they want. Start Reed, Amen, Jabari, KD and Sengun and give Reed the god damned keys. Let Jabari shoot whenever and stop worrying about Ws and Ls. If youre trying not to lose you will always ****ing lose.
Early against the Spurs, we had player movement, ran some sets, etc. But as the game wore on, the offense ground to a standstill. The same bad habits of jogging down court and expecting to be able to lob the ball into our favorite spots. Am I the only one who thinks adding a PG won't help if this is what the other 4 guys do when they run downcourt? If you play low-energy basketball and plod around, you get beaten. That's true in high school, Europe, China, the YMCA, really anywhere you play the game. Rarely can a team muster the talent to win if they don't do the little things. The only thing we do is rebound, but every team can focus on neutralizing that advantage in the 4th quarter. Many see this as a coaching problem. These are NBA players. It's a player problem.
