Wiggins is going to have to be “the guy”, at least until Herro comes back. Bam is the side kick.


Wiggins has such an un-aesthetic game. Hard to watch all the long 2 pointers, and his 3s don't feel like they have a chance of going in.

I think it will be Powell carrying the offense

Rebounding is balls. Again.

I’m not a believer in Keshad. He looks like Sioux Falls fodder. No handle, no spacing, and just seems to make bonehead plays.

Kasparas looks good tho. He looks confident and assured.

No one said you have to be reasonable if you are a fan.

Except Gom, but no one listens to him.

Bam is who he is at this point on offense, and has been for several years now. This is year 9 now, not year 3.

He's averaged over 20 points (20.4 to be exact) once in his career. On an actual championship winning team he's ideally the 4th option on offense, maybe the 3rd depending on how stacked the team is. Look at the past 5+ championship teams and see where he stacks up offensively on them.

A team with Bam and Herro as its top players is not going very far, though our role players this year should be far better than last year. Hopefully one of the younger guys has a breakout year and the team ends up with a draft pick.

If one or both of them can actually shoot at a high clip, it could be special.

Bam is proven. His defense has been fine. We know what he is offensively so I dont get the overreaction. That's all.

We know who and what Bam is. Also with the addition of Powell, a healthy Herro and an integrated Wiggins it negates the dire need for Bam to be great offensively most nights for us.

just need to be ok from 3, take the open shot, but that's often easier said than done

Bams got everyone tweaking in a preseason game?! He was pretty good last preseason and followed it with the worst start to his season in his career. The best players in this game as a whole were garbage outside of a quick little spurt from Powell.Wiggins was even worse scoring than Bam tonight. It’s the preseason for a reason!!

Loving what I’m seeing from the young guys though, let’s hope Spo goes back with the Bam/Ware starting frontcourt

2nd best defense in the league last season with both on the court, we just have to figure out the offense. Need a pkaymaker they can constantly feed off of, both can shoot the 3 and are continuing to develop it
