Least Favorite Current Bull-vote for 3

[drosestruts]

Wow that's a lot of dislike for Pat.

I only voted for two - Vuc and THT

Pat is certainly frustrating, especially this season, but he's been useful in the past (top rated iso defender and 40% 3-point shooter - I mean that was just two years ago). The main frustration with Pat is that he does too little.

What really grinds my gears is players who do too much and poorly - and that's largely been the case for Vuc and THT.

Doing too much, and doing it poorly, frustrates me way more than the Patrick Williams frustrations.

I don't know why we ever play THT. And yes, I've witnessed the games where he hits a bunch of ridiculous shots. It's not worth it overall.

Taking all personality/bias out of the mix… guys I enjoy watching the least? I’ll start by saying Donovan- I’m tired of his stubborn rotations that lose. But players:

1. Coby - Low IQ game. Back to being a “talented” chicken with no head. Huge progress with 3 steps forward in 2023… and since then it’s been 3 steps back. Right back to being a net-negative starter. I can sympathize that he’s playing a very different role with Giddey/Zach/Lonzo back. I don’t think he’s able to get the ball in spots he’s comfortable in. Any coach with a flexible brain would’ve broken up this starting lineup.

2. Pat’s just that bad. Playing a guy who can’t score, rebound, defend nor hustle for 28 mpg is interesting. OTOH, if he could just get back to some average defense and making his open 3Ps, I can’t blame him for getting paid by this FO- they made the most nonsensical contract offer since Felicio. But performance wise, he’s giving nothing.

3. Vuc’s defense is bad. If he takes 1 play off, or anybody else stumbles in the chain, we’re a YMCA layup drill. So having zero margin for error due to the anchor makes us a rough watch.

No mention: Zach. Still a bad defender, and when he forces it, things go bad. But he’s having a strong season, and for whatever reason, he was born to play with Lonzo. They play very well together. Unfortunately Lonzo is still a rehab project. But these two are a plus-combo, and when clicking, fun to watch. Probably the only true bright spot this season.

I’m leaning towards blaming the coach here. He’s had 5 seasons of continuity (more than the average pro team) and there isn’t one thing the core can lean on to do well. They’re not buying in. The point of your job is to have them buy in. The guys that play best are the ones on their ways out. It’s getting tiresome.

Patrick Williams and it isn't even close
