Hard to say.....paolo is a game warper if that makes any sense....you have to double him and even then he's still probably going to get anyone guarding him into foul trouble, then we're in the bonus...etc.....he warps any defense unless you brave enough to single cover him.......so many things paolo is responsible for....just pissed off no one really stepping up for him....maybe suggs....but i'm looking at the max player....i'll give him some grace since he's probably still not all the way back yet...but we need him to get back

Benching AB is not an option, start him but at PG with Suggs, TDS, Franz and Mo. Then have Suggs, Ab and Franz take turns at the pg spot the rest of the game with the second team.

Honestly the thing Im worried the most is Isaac.....he was a big reason to us winning 47 games last year, he was a vital part of the bench just wrecking havoc. And he does not look the same.

I think FO wanted him to play more C so he can play more with Paolo and Franz but that's taking away his strengths. I rather him just be a one man wrecking crew on the perimiter than use him as a big.

Hip injury and getting over that illness. I’ll give him about 15 games to see if the weight is affecting him.

AB's playmaking was nice, but 7 points on 10 possessions is gross. Franz was pretty inefficient as well. Looking for bounce back games for both of them on Sunday.

I mean, Mose has quite literally benched Cole already, Gary is losing minutes, but there is also massive growing pains with Jett-TDS-Black, especially on defense but mostly for the first two. Black's offense is coming along.

The reality is just everybody is going to have to attempt to play above their level short-term. I think whoever is hot will be given minutes.

I've never bought into the idea that not bringing in a legitimate PG at this point of our team development was going to help our players develop their skills more

Having a legitimate PG at this point would help our players develop their passing abilities if anything from learning, theyve all have gone through multiple seasons without one and I feel like have learned anout as much as they can from going through the experience

Da Silva 6th in rookie scoring per game at 8.5 ppg. The leader is Bub Carrington at 10.5 ppg. Da Silva could get into the ROY conversation.

Dude is basically the WCJ of PGs. Solid when healthy but eh. If it doesn't cost much, sure?

Height is fine for PF. He needs to add lower body strength.
