Everyone is just really bought in and playing defense with intensity and doing veteran type plays. Of course, are there better fits to make in the summer? For sure.
AB doesn't hurt us, for the most part he stays in his own lane... Its the vet markelle that's hurting us if anything.... Its Joe Ingles that's hurting us, he gets beat and just stops playing on defense... Never seen someone do that and NOT get benched....then again we don't have a better alternative... But next season we should

I think they hurt about the same. Kelle knows where to be, how to be out of the way, when is a good time to score, defends high level. AB doesn't know those things nearly as much but does space the floor which is kinda 100x more important. It says something that Kelle plays more lately than AB. It basically says I think like Mosely in one smaller rotation decision and you don't.

AB during his best games is easily better than Fultz.

The problem is, AB has a game like that and then floats and isn't as good the rest of the games. People remember him for those games but not the other ones. Sounds like he'll get some chances over the next 3 games though.

I'll take the AB floating games over the games where we're treating Fultz like it's the 90s and he's chauncey Billups.... Why we posting him up?

I agree all around. Would prefer AB.

Let's see if he is put in a position to showcase any additional skills tonight. This is a good team to potentially showcase it against.
