It's decidedly not where we want to be

The rebuild has to end at some point.

Fultz/Anthony/Harris three guard lineup here.

My least favorite option possible

Looks like it will be Cole/Harris/Black/Isaac/Moritz out of the break.

So perhaps as expected, Black is taking Ingles spot in the rotation with Joe resting.

Well, theoretically, they’re on the bench because the players ahead of them have equal/more potential. I could get behind AB/Jett taking Fultz/Harris’s minutes but would like to see what the rooks have first before diving head first into that.

We could have Prime Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, T-Mac, and Sweet Lew and these refs would be fouling them out.

Black the backup PG

Isaac vs Zion incoming

At some point, I would love to see AB, Suggs, and JI on the court at the same time.

Gotta admit, some of those Fultz passes were high IQ great.

Many of us have been called ‘young guy’ fans, that we just want to root for the next new thing… but it’s so wrong. We just didn’t want to watch Vuc and Evan.

I don’t care how man minutes AB and Jett get early on. As long as the others in front of them are playing the right way and well, they can learn by watching.

I understand your point of view, but if they are kept out of garbage preseason time, suppose there is (most certainly), it would be worrying sign for me.

Why is AB camping around the 3 point line? He has to be more a cutter.

Black planted in the corner playing SF and setting picks for Cole playing PG lmao

Cole in early ballhog form.

Absolutely **** atrocious

Exactly what we didn’t want to happen

I can already tell you that a lineup of M. Wagner/Isaac/Black/Cole/Gary will not work offensively.

Black in first quarter?!?! Is this real? ...or exhibition game...

Black subbed in for Fultz and just brought the ball up to initiate the offense. Does that fit your narrative? Boom

I can't decide if I want to watch/focus on Black or Isaac.
