Team ball movement has improved tremendously the last 5 games or so. I’ll have to check the numbers but it ‘feels like’ the ball is moving a ton more.

Paolo that was the best shot you got. Bad angle, low percentage.

AB is the backup PG though, so he still gets touches and opportunities. And it’s been established it’s better for him when he’s less inclined to defer to Paolo and Franz with the starters.


Then he was a terrible high lottery pick if he can’t start or play with both of those guys.


I’d say there’s still plenty of room for a “yet” at the end of that sentence which negates the premise. Hasn’t even finished his 2nd season.

terrible as a point guard maybe but as a player? he's fine for a 2nd year....defense is legit high level


“Fine” for the #6 pick that can’t play with the team’s two best players and nobody can define his position.

Really stretching the expectations around here.

Cole and Suggs are out and this guy can’t prove anything. Everyone cool with that I guess.

This has been a fun game. But my goodness out perimeter defense sucks right now, lmao. Cannot stop anyone from getting into the paint or getting where they want to go.

Franz struggling mightly against the zone, we need to get him involved
