Not sure what happened to him. When I watched him on the Spurs he was a competent player on offense, it's like he's just lost all his powers. I think Vogel's inconsistent minutes are messing up the role guys rhythm on offense since Yuta has declined this season as well. But then again these guys are making it hard for Vogel to keep playing them.....
Not sure what happened to most of our bench... KDB/Yuta downright suck after having good seasons. I actually thought that at least one of them will be better surrounded with better talent than in their previous seasons.
Eubanks was (at one point) considered one of the best bench C's in the league last year. He doesn't suck as hard as the top 2, but he took a step back for sure.
I had little hopes for EG being really good from the bench, or Little benefiting from the stars getting all the attention.
Figured that one of Okogie or Goodwin will might have a better shooting season and cement their role.
Howcome NONE of these hopes materialzed, in fact pretty much the worst case scenario hit in every gddam case for every player???
(and then the big 3 injuries... i mean i was ready for some down time, but if you tell me that halfway through the season we do NOT have solid 4 games with the big 3 together, I would have laughed you off the face of the earth...)

It's been disappointing for sure. Guess we'll have to attribute it down to the fact all these struggling role players were recruited to be 4th/5th options, yet the constant injuries to our big 3 to start the season and the fact we have no PG setting them up means the role players been forced to do way too much with the ball and lost their rhythm and confidence as a result.
Now that might just be purely optimistic conjecture on my part but it is kind of supported by the fact the role guys that play the most with the stars in Nurk and Grayson are the only role players who are playing well. It's those lineups of Booker surrounded by 4 role players that get us and the role guys in trouble. The type of role guys we recruited just don't have the offensive ability to survive those types of lineups. I'd say on offense we haven't put them in a position to succeed, if anything it's on defense they've been more disappointing as we still don't seem to have a legit stopper, and the team defense has been inconsistent at best.
