Yuta... expanded role? 

Post#1 » by IAMZOOTED2 » Fri Oct 28, 2022 8:30 am

Look, on paper Ben Simmons is way better than Yuta in most every category, but I wonder if Yuta's offense makes him more playable than Ben Simmons. I have him above Duke on the depth chart and maybe Royce soon if he don't get his ish together.

Whatchall think? Should the guy be getting more burn?

I think Yuta is a solid rotation piece but you don't want him having to do too much. He's fine splitting mins off the bench with Morris.

Yuta earned a rotation spot in the preseason. His shirt stints during the season have only cemented that.

No excuse for him to not play at least 15 minutes a game. His 3 ball has been going down. He's a good rebounder for a wing. He runs the floor hard in transition. He's not making mistakes. His effort level is a huge plus.
