I honestly thought that Wendell was going to step up with Franz and Paolo out. I figured he is our other 6’10’’ guy, why not. I don’t think he wants to be the #1 option.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.-John 3:16

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

He is - just a lot of people aren't willing to take the lumps that comes with playing young guys.

Did Daigneault wait 15 seconds for his 'video assistant'? Hell no.

Weltman has work to do.


Yeah they do. In the team’s first 5 games before Paolo went down they were shooting 34% from 3.

That’s a 4% improvement that would have them ranked around 20th. Small sample size and still not great, but not this bad.

well sure, the looks will be a bit better but they're still sh** shooters.

Meanwhile, Sexton is 3-3 from deep after the 1st quarter...


The passes are a lot better with Paolo and Franz and shooters get the ball in rhythm a lot more. Our shooters often have to reach and readjust to get the ball on the perimeter. As you and others have mentioned often, a better PG would improve that.

He has regressed so much on offense. The injuries must have taken a toll unfortunately.

I cannot believe what a complete waste Pope is. I wish there was some GM dumb enough to take him off our hands.
