His first game wasn't impressive. I expect he'll do better going forward.

We know this is what he does. In ten games, he'll have 3, maybe 4, really decent to good ones, 2-3 meh
games and 5-6 simply horrible games, like the game before this one.

What's good about this season? Will the young players keep a positive mental approach and develop professionalism?

Alternatively, isn't it possible they learn to accept defeat and develop habitual lack of competitiveness.

That's my worry about keeping Kuzma and Poole; I think their in game habits, particularly the chucking, are bad and might be contagious. I'm fine with using JV, Kispert, and Brogdon as our veterans to look to . . . and of course Jared Butler.

I'm glad I haven't turned in to watch any of the game so far this season.

What's even the point of Kuzma and Poole on this team.. Yuck, couldn't pay me to watch this crap.

Poole is a lot more interesting to watch than Kuz. And IMO, a better player.

Rightly so. The team’s D last night was awful.
