Ricky Council is being defended like someone who’s gonna be better than Mikal Bridges in 3 years

Conserving energy with not much size at the 2,3&4 positions. We seem to be playing 4 shooting guards and a center

Bona is really good. Very raw, but could become something nice.

Ditto McCain.

I keep placing him in the “very good role player” camp, but he keeps making plays off the dribble, whether it’s passing or drawing fouls. If that’s legit, then he can be more than a role player for sure.

McCain isn't impressive

That's fair - we definitely don't have the size in these games

Agree. He is super impressive.

Grizz starting to take advantage of size mismatch inside

Not trying to knock Maxey, but McCain is the better passer and l’m starting to like the idea of their fit together more.

I don’t mind if we lose Lowry. Nurse overplaying him vs. Knicks was a low key problem and he’s not getting younger.

I’d be ok giving Dowtin a shot. Or being back Payne. Or Dinwiddie.

Edwards has some raw talent. Needs more time to develop, but maybe something there

My only concern about looking at Dowtin in this game is that he's on avg 4-5 years older than the rest of the guys. He should be playing well

I thought he looked good when he played last year also.

Finally caught up to live. Bona is my Draymond 2.0. McCain does have alot of work to do on his game, but his upside is Brunson. Council just looks tired after last night, and they are blitzing him as soon as he puts the ball on the floor. He's not used to being the man like that, it will take time for him to adjust at this level.

Really bad game for us so far, but at least we still have a chance to win it.

Aluma is the greatest to ever do it.
