Because he's clutch.

Bish messaged that to me. Asked if I would test the waters with it. Worked out okay, right?

Thought so. We're good Bish.

Olynyk has played very well for us. He fits like a glove.

JJ and TJ are byke that's for sure. Olynyk looks locked in as the starting PF.

Still not sure I like Olynyk starting at the 4. Looks a little clunky for mine, he's a more natural 5 in today's NBA.

Not surprising that Winslow started playing better once we put the ball in his hands at the top of the key, and didn't make him go stand in a corner.

Can't wait for Goran to be back tbh. Team looks crap without him, he's the engine that makes this thing work. Otherwise, it's a bunch of meh.

Think this team could have like five guys average 15 points a game, and maybe three average 10. Such offensive balance, without a true go to guy. I could fall for a team like this.

I think the G-league could do wonders for Winslow and Bam

We need to keep Mickey on the roster as a shotblocking insurance, his timing is phenomenal, plays bigger than his size

Would like to see Spo play Williams more, I think he got potential as an shooters when ellington goes cold

We've been kind of like that for the past 3 seasons.. would like to see less shenanigans and more winning for a change this season.

I believe we can. I don't take preseason seriously one way or another :)

Olynyk is our best option at this current time. Need to keep the brothers johnson tandem intact. Unless we play the Hornets bench scrubs then you can start Winslow at the 4.

I like the balance and depth of this team, but still wish we had a true star player. Seems like every other average to good teams in the league has at least one, while the bad teams have a young one with star potential.

I'm not sure I love Oly beside Hassan as a combo. Would prefer JJ there right now. Gives a good mix of athleticism. Would like to see more of Bam and Oly together tbh.

Yes. Need more Bam with Oly. Spo keeps putting Bam in some bad spots. He puts Bam in early in the game only to take him out two minutes after. Then throws him in at the end of games with nobody to get him easy shots.
