    It's looking more and more likely he's actually going to lead the team in scoring by the end of the season and with decent efficiency.

    EGo is in a special type of hell.

    29 Minutes 14.7 ppg - 3rd best scorer

    Shooting 45% from 3 point land on 10.5 FGA. (5 Threepoint Attempts a game)

    Not enough attempts and not enough PT to lead the team in scoring.

    Could have given the minutes to Christopher.

    Or else would have deserved more shooting touches.

    I didn't realize that Jalen Green was so close to being the top scorer. It is very possible that he overtakes CWood. It seems as if the refs have been respecting Green more now than they did earlier in the season.

    Sure is, as he grows in confidence and continues to attack, he might overtake Wood.

    Nothing to do with the refs. He's been attacking defenders and not avoiding contact, which is extremely encouraging. It's looking like he's extremely coachable as well. Almost looks like a totally different player from the g-league kid last year, and it's barely been half a season.

    Wood and EG should be traded by the deadline, so considering how Jalen has picked it up of late, this should be a no brainer. Scoot will be two, while filling up the rest of the stat sheet.

    Yeah, seems about right. Green's 3 point % will continue to go up and when it does he'll average above 22 ppg taking him to 20+ ppg for the season. It will also help that Wood/Gordon will likely be traded

    We already have a skilled bigman and he's only 19.

    If Sengun replaces Wood, who replaces Sengun?

    While I think Garuba will become a defensive role player, I don't want to see 70% of the offensive possessions run through him.
