Fultz and it’s not even close in my opinion. Fultz is a leader and Suggs has been a follower.

Fultz makes everyone around him better.. Suggs just takes up space.


I doubt a team which is worst in the league in assists per game, assists/turnover ratio and points per game has even competent starter level playmaker let alone a player making everyone around him better. If anything I would bet on the opposite to be happening.


That's because of Franz and Paulo that we are .500 more so then the other way around.

Yes, we needed a PG, and hence that has kept us around .500 since both our PG came back. By no means do I believe the search for a PG is over.

The way I see it.

Franz and Paolo are not game changing defensive players. They are adequate for now at either F spot.

Therefore, you need excellent defensive players at both guard spots and of course at Center.

I disagree. They are both bad rebounders and offer no rim protection.

You're right, for Franz and Paolo to play their natural positions we need good defense around them.
