No more Frye. Please. PLEASE. I'd pay him to NOT play...he's not good and he's not getting any better. Chalk his contract up as a loss and play younger talent.

I'm going to withhold final judgment on Frye until he plays for a real coach in Orlando. He can be deadly in a consistent system.

I suppose so, but can't we say the same about AN44? He looked so promising under JV but never had the chance to flourish.

I believe with all of our flexibility we will be able to really experiment with lineups. Who is to say Dedmon doesnt start the first 6-8 minutes and we sub frye or Gordon in as our first sub? I just hope these young guns egos can take a back seat because as you can tell from all competetitve teams, it takes sacrifice to win.

I believe skiles will take some time but will figure out what the best combinations are because to be honest
Elf
Dipo
Harris
Gordon
Vuc
might be our 5 best players but not the best option to have them all on the court together to win games.

I'm not too worried about the spacing for the starting 5. There's more ways to get open shots besides having deadly 3pt shooters. Vuc's pick-and-pop 18 footer and Elf / Vic's elite ability to get into the lane is how shots will open up for that unit. Not to mention, if AG's improvement is real then you could have 3 at-least-average 3pt shooters on the court in Tobias, Vic, and AG.

The 2nd unit should be noticeably improved compared to last year. At times we got nothing from the bench.
