As much as i like Mosley and his positive energy i would think about changing coach next year.
Ingles is the most scared to shoot of everybody... shooting 1.7 attempts a game.
I won't address coach thing I've spoken on it before. Let's not repeat past 10 years of changing coaches and then realizing "Oh, roster just sucked no matter who the coach is" when people don't like rotations. I look at every reddit or message board after teams lose.. saw OKC coach (Mark something), Carlisle, Monty Williams tonight all get called out for "trash rotation" or "not playing rookies" or "losing the game" and every fanbase thinks coaching is just some "find guy who yells a lot because that means they care more" and voila, rotation and shooting is fixed. Kerr looked hopeless the year Curry was out but looks like an offensive wizard when he's there.
Roster isn't doing him favors - two vets on expiring contracts who probably don't have a future here but probably need to play because of spacing, 2 rookies in an already crowded young rotation, Suggs who is playing his ass off and a huge part of us being a great defense, and Fultz, who has glaring weaknesses in shooting and FT but isn't a sieve on defense like Cole who isn't a natural PG and Suggs can't exactly dribble.
If season's hope rest on Gary Harris starting or not, we're more **** than anyone imagined... people need to be patient with 2nd year Paolo but also hold him accountable too. He made good plays when he was doubled, especially the first game, didn't mind him being less aggressive there.. but since then.. yuck.
If he can't hit OPEN jumpers or three or free throws, you can't blame the coach or others for that.. suddenly he is not doing his job as a proclaimed three level scorer. I saw him brick open shots and easy close to the basket plays and it''s not like he was getting swarmed by defenders and taking Doncic level contested threes and no easy baskets.
No young star has a perfectly built team around them in their first few years. Scottie Barnes has awkward fits on the team, OKC fans are begging for Chet to play next to a bruiser, Cade has spacing issues with Ausar/Killian/Duren.. Wemby has guys that don't know how to feed him easy buckets yet..
I'm pro young players more than anyone on this team, but damn sure not going to coddle them and make excuses when they play worse than I've seen them play and point at everything else. It starts with Paolo and Franz, even if there are small things to make them do better in the most optimal settings.
He needs to play better in spite of not an ideal backcourt yet.
