The young guys Gradey, Mogbo, Ochai, Shead, and Walter are super disappointing. They seem to have gotten worse.

Are they that disappointing? All had already shown significant limitations, and guys like that aren't going to be consistently awesome.

Aside from Yak who is legit hurt and shouldn't have been playing to begin with, IQ has been the worst and most disappointing player so far. He has been awful and today gives me no reason to be hopeful about it. He might have the worst contact in NBA.
Everytime he touches the ball I cringe

He has no point guard instincts or feel at all. He process the court very slowly and any advantage we do have he usually kills by holding the ball too long. I'm not even upset about his 3P%, I'm upset that he isn't good enough to get up close to 10 a game. If he is not knocking down 4 3's a game with 10 attempts per game he is legit working for the other team. I'd rather Shead or Walter or Ochai.

Walter and Dick have not impressed me(well Dick had one game but).
Still early in the season but had hoped for more.

I think it's a coaching issue. We have enough talent.

We have more issues than just coaching.

Amen Thompson cannot shoot outside of 15 feet. How is he driving past you at the three point line?!?!?!

Those 2 end of the quarter heaves they made were costly, kept them up 10 the entire game and didn't allow us to get over the hump.

Anyone that kept expecting more from dick doesn’t know basketball. Sorry. I’ve been saying since he was a rookie if he’s not lights out from 3 he’s nothing. I honestly don’t know what people are watching out there.

Yeah, for every little ruffle he's had, he's had like three different quality reads or possessions or SOMETHING that makes you appreciate him. Doesn't look like a star in the making, but he definitely looks like a high-value guy once he gets his feet beneath him.

I tend to agree, but I also think a healthy Poeltl probably makes a big difference. No center in today’s NBA is just not gonna cut it, and Mamu is a forward.

Coaches can't play on the court for you....Its 100 percent a personnel issue and not enough high end talent or fit on the court.
