So far this year. Scottie starting at 5 is ugly.

Not really his fault tbf.

FO needs to get a real back up 5, Manu is just a 4.

I think he was like 2/7 at the rim last night. The whole team was tired.

That's like saying driving a BMW M3 at the Sahara desert is ugly. It doesn't belong there. Same with Scottie at the 5.

Yeah. Scottie is not a center. His efficacy is highly dependent upon us being able to deploy him the right way, and when our lineup is all borked with injuries and rest days and what have you, it messes him up. This just has to be accepted.

They’re stalling because it means Ochai loses all his minutes and they most likely were hoping to flip him for a big rather than pick up scraps from other teams. He has looked like crap though. I think Mamu can also play the 3 on offense, so CMB, Mamu, Dick and Walter should still get their minutes in staggered lineups.

I hope we don’t lose Battle in a trade. He still has more to give and will be very valuable as a scorer imo. Dick and Walter are probably my safe for now.
