Keep the competitive losses coming. One loss closer to Harper

Hope Darko can either place RJ or Jakobe as the starting PG. This year is all about experiments and developments

I am expecting a competitive loss or a surprise win.

If we somehow manage to land Harper, what do we do with IQ?

My ideal lineup would be Harper/Dick/RJ/Barnes/Poeltl. Or do we play dick off the bench?

This season isn't even that miserable tbh. It's been lots of fun.

Rarely are rookie PG's ready to be positive players. So you bring him off the bench in year one and go from there.

IQ can be the SG in year 2 if Harper is ready. And yes, Dick can be off the bench and still get lots of minutes.

Should be another close loss without Botty Scarnes.

Unless the rest of the kids shoot a high % from 3…

These injuries are clutch... a little too clutch to be coincidence. Or at least, the time off the players are getting seems to be excessive (but I'm obviously not complaining this season). Well played, Masai. Or maybe the basketball gods are just looking out for us.

Once the team is almost ready to be competitive, Poetl will need to be swapped out for a stretch 5.

Having two shooters on the bench (i.e. - Gradey and Ochai) would be a dream rotation for Darko.

Usually ya they aren’t ready, but Harper so far is lookin nba ready. Its different when we are looking at top of the lottery all-nba potential talents

I agree... I just meant not expecting wins. Most of us would be going crazy with how some of these games have ended for us but it's all good during tank mode lol.
