Ross is so soft defensively. He's getting killed everywhere. Can't guard in the post, can't box out, etc

It looks like it's going to take time for Suggs to make point guard work. He seems pretty hesitant.

T Ross, zero movement, highly contested airball into open corner 3 ... I love Ross but man I just wish he'd keep his head up and tone it down a touch when it's really not on

Not too concerned with turnovers or some bad shots here and there, but gotta clean up the defensive glass.

That's what happens when you get stripped a couple times early. I'm surprised we aren't running some PnR. The first unit is struggling to get anything going at the offensive end.

Ross is going to get bullied at the 3. We need Isaac back if we’re going to play that small at the 3
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

There is no rush to trade him but you have to think that a lot of contenders would love to have him

Our offense doesn't have a hierarchy nor identity yet but it feels a lot more free flowing.

Scal made a great point basically saying this feels more like real basketball without the flops and unfair offense

Suggs looks like he belongs. Some nerves/missed shots. Not worried lol

relax with the 'Ross isn't a 3 talk'. We have no SF's right now and are forced to play him there. Obviously, it's not ideal.
