Lol Simons shied away from IQ at the rim and then turned it over. IQ was giving him a free layup

Raps fans from before We The North are masochistic.
this is what these fans are gonna resort to once they have no more ways to defend their boys. Just gonna start calling posters sad.

As much as you or I may deviate from consensus, it's fine for fans to maintain faith in a player's upside.

It isn't either/or with young players. They can dial-in a role suited to their skill set without shunting future growth.

Seeing Simons dwarf IQ makes it even more clear to me that IQ can’t be the PG if we ever want to compete for championship…he’s just too small.

Honestly I think the offense is better due to Jak being on the bench not scottie. Dude was the center of every play they ran to start this game.

There’s a difference if it’s completely devoid of any awareness of the players limitations
