don't think anyone is suggesting that. all what is being suggested is a recalibration in roles.
Based on your comments here and in other threads I'm not really clear on what re-calibration you have in mind for Jordan Poole other than trading him? Same with Wiseman and same with Klay. Maybe I'm missing your point, would you help elucidate that for me? Not trying to be facetious, just curious.
For me, I would say Klay's minutes should be cut by about 10 and those should be handed to Moody...but Klay is only playing 25 mpg. It's actually impressive he has stunk it up this much in such little time. I guess the only option there is sending him to the bench until he sorts himself out? Really don't want to see Jordan starting as his defense still makes my eyes bleed and I'm not confident Moody is ready to role with our core lineup.
Further IMO only, Wiseman should get the Kuminga treatment. If it's not a 'Wiseman game' then Kuminga plays and vice versa until one of them seizes the role. It's not a competition right now and looks more like minute gifting to James which is difficult to watch.
i've already mentioned this a few times
i'd bench Klay and start Moody
i'd only play Wise against bigger teams or in spot minutes
i'd emphasize Minga as first big off the bench instead of Wise
as for Poole, he is what he is at this point, which is a scoring 6th man, and should be treated as such. i think we need to be more careful about including him in too many closing lineups. i don't like seeing lineups with him, Steph and Klay in crucial situations. i think we need to pick between Klay and Poole (whoever is hotter that game) in those situations and go with more defensive looks.
i also think we need to see less JP on ball and more JP off ball and put the ball even more in Steph's/Dray's hands, maybe even have Wiggy create a bit as well from the pivot, or maybe some inside-out looks from Loon. getting DDV back as well will help imo getting the ball out of JP's hands.
Thanks for sharing. Not as in the weeds on the board right now due to work picking up.
To floppy's point, I do agree that as long as Klay is here he is starting and getting big minutes - and that's detrimental but unavoidable with the current philosophy.
I'm just having a hard time grasping that our team is this deep, yet Moody has only topped 18 minutes 3 times this season and Kuminga is getting DNP'd while their clear minutes blockers are under-performing. Depth doesn't mean much if it's not a meritocracy.
