Nice to see Sarr with a double-double in 25 minutes.

He had 11 points, 10 boards and 5 assists. And those assists weren't just basic, swing-the-ball assists. They were very good passes off the short roll for layups and dunks.

I wish he would stop turning down open looks though.

George often looks like he should be a better player than his numbers say he actually is.

We shot 49.5% from 3. That'll keep you in some games
as long as you can keep the # of possessions close.

Now that we've been occasionally winning I've started
watching Keefe in the post game presser. Gotta say I like his demeanor.

I like the way they're starting the game with the youth & bringing the vets off the bench.

Sarr is really starting to look good. Game is starting to slow down for him, he's looking more comfortable and assertive.

I like the idea of us dealing the old heads , Kuzma, Brogdon, Valenciunas, Holmes to bring back some future draft assets and open the roster spots and playing time for young players... But keeping the Club 25 here as a group of vets to solidify the roster depth... Poole, Butler, Kispert, Bey, Bagley. These are a good base of experienced vet role players just entering their prime years who can mix in with a youth core of Sarr, Coulibaly, George, Bub, Champagnie, Vukcevic, and whoever we add in this next draft.

I mean, imagine if we actually land Flagg...

Sarr, Flagg, Coulibaly, Champagnie, Carrington

Poole as the combo guard 6th man microwave scorer off the bench.

Kyshawn, Bey, Kispert, Butler, Bagley, Vukcevic

That's a solid roster (12) with nice depth and loaded with youth that will continue to develop.

Add in another 3 2nd rounders in this draft that we can now utilize as upside swings on draft and stash, or young prospects that can spend the year on the GoGo, without being rushed.

Bulls are terrible. What is Patrick Williams supposed to be. He's mediocre to bad at everything. Like a poor man's Kuzma, or Johnny Davis.

Wiz better be careful about winning too much. That number 9 pick has too much historical gravity.
Can't say I do. Who else gonna shoot?

Yeah but he’s French. They drink wine as toddlers :party: Actually New Years Eve at the French Embassy sounds like a good time. You can pop bottles six hours early. Celebrate twice.

What I was most impressed with was the low TOs by the youngsters.
