learn to shoot

every team worth a damn has their 3 best players launching 3s

3>2

Let's keep putting the burden of carrying the offense on undrafted players

I’m going to need a direction chose this summer and both should require a roster overhaul. No more than 2 undrafted guys in our first 10 in the rotation. This **** is not working

no argument here. Might as well throw Jovic back in the rotation while we're at it when healthy.

At some point you can't argue the rookie is THAT bad

[DayofMourning]

How strong the upcoming draft is?

Should be strong enough to help us when we draft in the early 20s. Would be worth tanking if a team was so inclined. Or at least have a couple 1sts in.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Jovic has talent. I’m willing to live with his mistakes down the stretch in the name of growth. I’m done with everyone else on our bench. FO needs to step in with Spo and mandate the kid play. I also want Jamal Cain getting run as well.

Even last year, the 3 point shooting was at the top of the league in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it was hot garbage. We only made the ECF because Jimmy was Superman. We would have made the Finals last year if we even got average performances from the shooters against Boston. So while I understand it's easy to say "well they were 1 shot from the Finals so let's run it back," these problems existed last year and trickled into this season.

Yes. Yea. Yes. And it coincidentally coincides with Dipo??

Partially. Dipo can't shoot and I don't think his shot is ever going to be consistent. But it came down to Lowry, Martin, Strus, Duncan, Vincent, etc., not being consistent shooters. They all lost their shots at the same time and have never recovered. It's actually quite unbelievable how we've gone from one of the best shooting teams to like the worst in only 1 year.

Four of the five are minor league comeups.

The draft is deep but you never know with these kids how they evolve into the pros..

We could use a Kyle Guy return. Just need some shooters to help us.

Alcohol intake is a major factor in the development of a youngster. Once they hit party age, they have to adjust to that part of the dietary and habitual change.

We live in an alcoholic society.

[Wiltside]

Truly pathetic L tbh. Team looks like they partied hard over the break and have come back lethargic. And hungover.

I’m down, idc to throw the season away at this point. Roster is flat out too flawed and we have $60M worth of dead weight

And rapidly getting lower.

Could be a blessing in disguise. Draft a wing, play Jovic.

Cains actually legit, Jrich potential.

Even that scrub Highsmith had developed. He’s shooting at minimum 40% from 3 over the last 15 he’s played and is actually a lockdown defender

Add in the fact that Butler and Bam are half the total team salary too (77 million, total salary 150 million). Sorry but not getting production to justify that.

Keeping my eye out on Taylor Hendricks from UCF 6’9 210 and can drain 3’s. Shooting at 41% clip and 80% FT. Local kid too from South Florida

Bam sucked tonight but his contract is a steal. Team is elite when both of them are on the court together over the course of the year, im not worried about them honestly. I’m worried about the crap around them and Lowry Duncan and unfortunately dipos $60M

Let’s go!

Fortunately we've hit rock bottom. There's nowhere to go but up from here.

Are you sure?

I was. A little less sure now.

I get what you mean. The team needs a third player of similar talent to step up. That player was supposed to be Lowry, but that was just a terrible personnel decision given his age and injury history. Just a bad team build overall. Such a shame.

Then Add Herro 27 mil which starts next season, thats 104 mil for 3 players. Arison won't pay a ton of tax so a lot of depth will be lost of the summer to control costs. So you need your best players to carry the team.
Moving Duncan, Lowry, Dipo is necessary but won't solve this teams problems. We need those 3 to play at a high level for this core to work. Only one of them is playing like an allstar. More attention needs to be on that, more than the Duncan, Lowry who we know are gone in the summer
