Night and day difference between Vern and Richards. It's clear who we should be giving more opportunities.

The differences between the two players on offense are obvious, but what about what they bring on the defensive end? And which of these two is coach prioritizing?

I stand by what I said last year. Utilize Carey properly and that’s 12 points and 7 rebounds…which isn’t bad at all for someone his age.

I don't think offense or rebuilding is the problem with Carey.

Even in very limited minutes last season Carey is completely lost on defense. I think he's worth developing, but we're in serious trouble defensively if Carey has enough minutes to give us 12/7 next season

He isn’t good enough to not play hard.

Will be interesting to see if he gets minutes in Washington, obviously something was holding him back from playing because we really needed his hypothetical skillset. He most have been incredibly lost on D. Farewell!

wouldn't bet on it, Porzingis, Bryant, Gafford are all there soaking up minutes.

Good luck in Washington. He has some skill offensively but he obviously was not trusted by Borrego and looked lost on defense.
