This team is a whole lot more than 1 player away from winning lol. If you don’t recall, the pistons were down by like 30 points by the 2nd quarter in the last few games Killian started.

If he had started every game that Killian has started we’d at least have another win.

He’s much more enjoyable to watch, he brings a skill that we lack from anyone else and has way more upside.

To answer your question directly, no. If he could single handily win games for this group, he’d be an All-Star.

I don't like Killian's game and think he might not be in the league next season, but that said he would be ok if we had four other good offensive players who can shoot and score in a variety of ways playing with him... A team can afford to have one weaker offensive player if they bring other positives to the floor.... but putting Killian, Stew, Ausar, and Duren out there together is beyond stupid.

Hayes would actually be decent as our PG off the bench, but never ever ever should he be starting. The only person that actually thinks that is Monty and Hayes Sr.

100%. He'd be a totally OK player in the right situation. We have a lot of guys like that that have all been starting next to each other. Killian needs to be surrounded with offensive weapons. Ausar needs shooters around him for his lack of shooting to not stand out. Stew needs to have quality offensive options around him so you aren't asking him to dive into his not-existent "bag" by dribbling, etc.

I don't think they've had a game that was in the balance in the last 5 minutes or so since before Thanksgiving. The suckage is unprecedented but, don't worry guys change is coming, Tom will fire the team trainer so everything will be fine.

I think the team trainer is Arn Tellem's father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate so he is probably safe.
