Let's focus on developing our highest upside guys, surrounding them with complementary players (even if just placeholders for the next big move) and try to get real about developing some sense of continuity and system...Fultz is a fingers-crossed/hope project, so is Isaac, I don't even know what Bol is, we're hoping for a 180 degree shift in Cole's style of play, we're hoping Suggs and Bamba start looking like an NBA player on par with their gifts. Too many cloudy areas and, IMO, they are at the point of hindering any vision of what we could be and should be moving towards...playing too many distracting "3D Chess" games with our roster. I don't want to spend another decade watching our former players show out elsewhere.

INVEST in Franz, Paolo, and WCJ by giving them some reliable, complementary support. Every year of their rookie deals are critical, IMO. Not every young star prospect will sit on their hands and shut their mouths like SGA has...same goes for a fickle small market fan base.


We will see what is the aproach after Fultz and Harris is back. Its a matter of calculation. Starting Fultz/Harris will give more stability to our frontcourt but starting Suggs and/or Anthony will give them more reps, chemistry and most likely better lottery position. I am not sure which aproach is better, front office and Mosley need to make a decision.
We have so much young talent that i would personally choose Fultz/Harris option. Especially given our salary structure and free cap space next year.

Even though I started this thread, but Bol Bol in this preseason has just been nonexistence on the court. He couldn't get a shot off and he couldn't use his length on defense either.

I agree with many of you, I'd rather see Moe Wagner ahead of the rotation than Bol now.

Moe has simply been a boost for us coming off the bench with his defense and physicality.

He deserves more PT in the rotation ahead of Bol or Bamba

Well that was fun...go away. Let's get back to NBA players.

Bol could be a god in China and have a statue next to Marbury.

It's just entertain to watch somebody standing at what ? 7'3 ? Trying to dribble ball.
Ofc it's entertaining for 5 seconds, on youtube, and nowhere near your favorite team, but enetertaining non less.

As i've said, and Skybox now also said, he will be basketball attraction in China, probably not because of his in game production but for freak factor alone. Might as well take Taco Fall with him.
