Do you not know Mose by now? He is going to lose with his vets before playing the 25th pick rookie.

People really need to stfu about Tyus Jones lol.

Hes on a one year deal with Anthony Black as a replacement when Suggs isn’t back to playing real minutes.

If Anthony Black was a shred of a point guard Tyus wouldn’t be on this roster.

Your gripe should really be with Mosely flat out not testing Jace while Suggs sits healthy on the bench.

Tyus is actively pissing me off though. Trying not to overreact to three games but he can't look any worse.


Yeah. This is a frustrating start. I can see little snippets of the team can look like. I know these things take time but we are definitely not playing to our potential.

Two different identities from your best players. Not sure how this is going to play out.


Only took Franz two games to point out in the post game it’s nice when him and Paolo aren’t on the court together and they each have space to play their game

I just want to see Jase with the starters so that we can leave the bench the way it is. Just play Jase. I get that we’re trying to win, but he would be such a different look AND he can defend.

Tyus is shooting 0% for the season so far. Bane is at 29%.

Paolo just seems to be pouting. It's been that way since training camp. He doesn't seem happy for some reason and his play sticks out like a sore thumb. He just doesn't seem to fit with what we are doing. Something is up.

This is reading like last year when people were saying Mose isn't playing Jett as if he was savior lol. He played and then we lost like 2-3 games in a row versus tanking teams.

Jase should play just because he's an infusion of energy, but the real issue is these guys HAVE to hit open shots and get used to the pace. Most are but all of the Duke players seemingly look lost as soon as the season started. At least WCJ looked good in preseason.

Everyone calm down.

This homestand is an extension of training camp with us adapting to a new style of play and mew teammates.
Our first 2nd night of a back-to-back.
We’re not shooting 2-of-16 from 3 in the second half.

I feel like Tyus could've been a player that Mosely wanted Weltman to target, so now he's trying to justify the signing.

So much for Mose preseason saying it’s a win now season and it’s much simpler now because if you aren’t helping us win you won’t play.

Paolo turned his ankle last night.

He likes running. Ran fine the first game and in preseason.

Guys we are down 3 while being 2-16 or something from three. Chill out.

I agree certain people aren’t playing well, but it’s game 3. It may take a little bit of time for things to gel.

Isaac I am worried about, though, simply from a “he looks done” POV. That doesn’t magically get better typically.

This board keeps crapping on role/bench players. While our most expensive player looks completely lost. This is way deeper then a Tyus Jones issue. Mosley has a big problem to overcome with Paolo or he's gone.

Yeah I mean I get it, but Tyus isn’t a long term option here. Jase is here for 4 seasons and Anthony Black isn’t a point guard.

So the difference here isn’t really about “saving us” it’s just logical investment. Like id rather know more about Jase before AB talks come up.

Tyus is just filling in for one season and people cannot shut the **** up about him like he’s recently signed a 4 year max or something. :lol:

I am not depending on the rookies to win us the game, I always want them to have some type of experience in every game. I don’t care if it is only 5 minutes in the 1st quarter, just to get the jitters out. I have been the same way with every rookie we had. I want them to play in the playoffs as well. I think the experience is important for them so that going into next season they are not shell shocked.
