Again a short rotation with Butler and Champagnie not seeing the light of day until it was over and done with. This time we didn't shoot 50% from 3 and 36/24 with weak defense is always going to be a blowout. I believe in the tank but I'd like to see players who earn time get it and those who don't, sit.
Sarr's very active and a shot blocker, but every big we play against has a career day. JV was never known for defense either.
Kuzma has just been plain bad this year.
Coulibaly is the best defender we have, George the second best, but Bilal seems to have lost confidence in his offense and George hasn't done much in that direction.
Carrington is another who started well offensively but quickly fell behind and has played poorly. They want to make him a point guard but he's not showing that kind of distribution skill either. He has the size and athleticism to be a 2 if he starts making his shot and is still super young so can still learn
Poole and JV have been our best offensive players this year as Poole is back to what we though he was. Still not an efficient scorer but more so than any other of our big minutes guys and can create for himself.
Kispert has regressed a little in his willingness/ability to create with the drive it seems; still a shooter.
Champagnie has shown flashes, if he's getting consistent minutes might be better able to make an evaluation.
Butler has continued to play at a solid NBA level against 2nd and 3rd teamers; also hasn't seen the minutes with the big boys.
