We got the 3rd youngest team in the league, playing without our starting center who's the centerpiece of our defense, and are on pace to improve last year's win total by atleast 10.
That's a fairly significant jump by a young team, expecting a team of rookies & sophs to never make mistakes kinda defeats the purpose of growth?
No, see, I am not expecting Paolo to take over games and win it for us, but I am expecting our 3 years and onward who have been in this position for so long to step up and figure it out to teach Paolo, Franz, and Jalen how it is done. At this point, we have played with more people injured then not, we should be able to adjust because for years now, that’s all that’s been happening.
We don't frankly have many players who have 3 or more years of experience. Fultz (who's been injured for half of it), Mo Wagner, Gary Harris, Bol Bol (who hasn't played till this year) are the only players on our team that played that can match that description.
If only winning was as easy as you describe it. We don't have any vets on our team who have been legitimate options on a winning team and you're talking about our couple players with still minimal experience teaching winning.
Just playing with players injured often doesn't mean teams will just learn how to overcome it, that's not how any of this works. Mo Wagner won't just overcome being awful on defense because WCJ has been out with injury
