Everything about this team is just ripe for a midseason shake up.

My goodness. His free throw defense has been good though on his fouls

We still have fight

AB has been terrible, Cole has been terrible, Houstan has become unplayable, Jett isn't good enough to get out the G League, Fultz can't shoot outside of layups, Harris is injury prone (and was playing awful) ...

So our guard rotation is just Suggs

Imagine if Suggs didn't improve as a shooter...

This is a wonky and HUGE lineup

Post #386 » by **Knightro** » Sat Jan 27, 2024 3:05 am

Black/Franz/Paolo/Isaac/Carter out there

Dude, doesn't bear thinking about! His shooting improvement from his rookie season has been awesome to see, and much needed!

Mosley said screw it, I'm going all in with the "All Length" lineup.

Slow down

It's the truth though. He's an excellent prospect with a lot of upside, but you stick him in the starting lineup and it's gonna be Paolo/Franz just spamming endless isolations and pick and rolls as they drive into the teeth of a paint packed defense and we've seen how ugly that can get.

I'm good with it. He's good enough from 3, a smart cutter, and an excellent defender.

Don't worry, Fultz will be back in shortly.

Not sure, he looked off (likely injured) towards the end of his last stint.

It's not good enough though.

Like it's just a slightly different variation of the problems they have right now with Fultz at PG.

You can't have a good offense in the modern NBA with a non scorer at guard. You just can't.

I'll be impressed if we win this
