Definitely the worst PG rotation in the league but at least 30M didn’t go to a chucker

43.3M

He was phenomenal in the tournament

There’s nothing similar about 5’8 to 6’2.

You won't be rooting for him when you find out he's got ambition and wants to be the best player he can possibly be.

I have no idea why they felt the need to sign Schroeder.

If anything they should've continued to add some more shooting to just keep building on the floor spacing around those 2 to at least give that duo a chance to work.

This FO really has no sense of direction or what they're doing.

And Fred isn't 6'2 unless he in a jumper seat.

Schroeder was a good choice. Point of attack defense and team management. Highly unlikely he starting pg by end of year but he good enough to be a stopgap until we develop/trade a better long term option.

Agreed that another shooter required, but Schroder gives a lot of value.

Nowell will be worth some $ as the Summer League MVP market opens. He’s going to attract a ton of eyes, and I think he could explode this summer.

We need a miracle and our savior was born Nowell.

If I had one dream for the season, it would be that we start Nowell and he's as good or better than Fred. lol.

I like this kid. Realistic about his chances but he feels like a good player.

Been watching the highlights. The man's passing is elite. He can shoot too. The highlights don't show his defence much other than a couple steals.

You can’t help but love his game and to route for him in life to overcome the odds but maybe I gotta see him on the court but idk how he or the team is gonna overcome just how miniature he is on the defensive end.

Offensively though love how he reads a defense. Just seems to be one of those players that always knows where his teammates are and how to manipulate a defense. Here’s hoping somehow he defends well enough to stick in the league, I wanna see a dude who never gave up be rewarded.

Looks like Nowell has the same Bet On Yourself mentality but with the bizzaro FVV game!
