He is so bad that is not even funny anymore.
I do not know why he is not in the G-League. Just play Carter all the backup PG minutes.

I would say that I hope he's maybe getting back to the start of the season 3 percentages but then again I don't believe it. If Baynes shoots a 3, it's a brick. Happy for the outcome tho.

Our team plays a lot better with Rubio running things than with Booker. But it plays best when both of them are playing cohesively together.
Rubio definitely gets things running smoother, but I’m sure Booker staying on with Okobo when he subs in for Rubio also accounts for some of the +/- differential. Okobo is terrible.

That is why pure Cs are not effective in the NBA anymore.
Whiteside is a terrific finisher, rebounder and shot blocker, but he really does not help to win games. Five out offense makes him useless out there.
The Houston Rockets are an extreme, but I think they are right about playing with Tucker at C over Capela.
The rules are the rules, and in this current NBA is way better to play five out offense everytime, the game is soft and you can not take advantage around the paint with big guys.
That is why I am bothered a bit about Ayton. I like him and his improvement is there, but I am not sure about playing all the time with a pure C as him ok the court.
Players like Marc Gasol or Porzingis give their team great defense at C and 3p shooting and passing ability. So much space.
I need to say that I would prefer to play with a C like that over Ayton...but it is already done and we need to make things work with Ayton.
