That's what happens when refs swallow the whistle when they cross halfcourt.

I'm not kidding when I say I think a lineup of Ish/Theo/McGowens/JT/NR would probably lose to almost every teams starting lineup 5v4. The shooting is just abysmal, there is no athleticism to finish anything besides Nick. There is not enough IQ and shooting there to consistently break down a 4 man zone of decent players.

I think Miles coming back even though he's a piece of **** will rectify a ton of issues from a depth standpoint.

Melo
Terry
Miller
Gordo
Miles
PJ
Mark
Nick

is a pretty damn good top 8 assuming Miles is old Miles. Theo and Thor as the 9th and 10th man are probably okay but id prefer to have specialists from 9-12 (snipers, PoA defenders, etc).

Our issue is we're always down 2-3 of our main guys so they're forced to feature end of bench players

french Franc is the PoA defender, he just can't do much else.

I'm actually dreading when he comes back. Our guard rotation is sad as it is. We have zero offensive power outside of LaMelo and Terry. The rest are downright liabilities, we can't have that.
