This is exactly my hypothesis.

come on Boogie, don't downplay your potential

What are you talking about? I’m on the trajectory to be the next billionaire music producer/fashion designer. That’s big time. I’m close don’t worry.

He's got great stats but the BPM sucks. It is still a defensive issue. He's just not very effective as a help defender and that's the most important form of defense.

Awful is hyperbole. He just wasn’t involved.

Bench is good, but the starting lineup never wins its minutes

Well it's a good start to finally have a bench and not have to wear down the starters. It does seem they still lack that top end talent all the best teams have. Maybe CMB and Barnes become that down the road. The bench can carry them in the regular season, but come playoff time it won't be the bench winning games

All of our starters have a negative net rating right now despite us being up 10.

Starters better give the bench players an amazing team dinner tonight.

Your hyperbole and straw man arguments are the only thing you have

Scottie is still too inconsistent with the offensive effort.

Pascal and Nembhard keeping the lid on a blow out. Can they keep it up all game?

RJ has 11 shots while the next closest player has 8 shots. Gotta find other ways to contribute even if you feel he wasn't involved. Personally, he was involved and he was playing bad but turned that around to end the half

your point stands, but Brandon +3

RJ is an offensive work horse. Having a guy always putting pressure on the defense is a valuable commodity even if he isn't always ultra efficient. I appreciate what he brings to the team.

RJ needs to get down to the corners more often. He was hitting all those above the break 3's to start the season but has come back down the Earth, need to make the adjustment when the shots stop falling.
