Walsh is a case study in the complexity of incompetence ..

I’m not high on Walsh at all. They could move on and probably wouldn’t miss him all that much.

I'd like to see Norris in this Game.

i think we now know we just gotta draft guys like baylor from now on and stop drafting projects. there's no time to develop them adequately with nba minutes. letting jd and walsh play so much in the g league is hindering their development because they don't know how to play the role they're competing for on this team

I hate these types of games. These guys predictably will look bad. None of the top 6 playing against an almost-healthy squad fighting for playoff position.

What's there to evaluate??

For anybody who thinks PP can slot right into Jrue’s spot if he gets traded :crazy:

Not really. He's the 6th man for a reason. They're playing a top 3 defense.

I've seen enough of Walsh. Rather see Peterson over him, and much rather see Baylor over him.

He wasn’t exactly a project but he wasn’t a sure thing either. There’s a reason why he fell to the Celtics. But yeah I agree draft someone who has at least one or two pro level skill set instead of trying to teach it.

Hauser is shooting like 80% from 2. On top of his 3-pt shooting.

Hauser still leading the league in TO%.
