Yeah I honestly think we just keep this team together, keep developing our guys..get Tatum back healthy and add just 1 more piece and we're right there competing for a title next year.

Both White and PP have not found their shot yet.

What happens when PP and White return to their old selves?

They are playing too much.
Simons has to Start.

Divy up the PG duties.
Pritchard and especially White need to be Combo's.

Minott had 14 rebounds, Queta 13 rebounds against what was supposed to be the best frontcourt in the East. And after lighting it up in the first quarter, Donovan Mitchell completely disappeared. Strange.

cant wait to see hugo earn more minutes. if we had a guy like minott last year we go back to back without a doubt. minott's energy is exactly what the team has been missing when they get complacent and play lazy down the stretch. he just makes **** happen on both ends of the court

Honestly, I think part of the reason PP + Derrick are shooting so poorly to start the season
is the looks they are getting a way more contested, pressured and deeper without Tatum on the floor

Getting them some better looks through some other actions and whatnot and (honestly) just better shot selection when there's time to work for a better look will help the shooting % tick back up.

They are not a very good rebounding front court though , they have been statistically weak.

Guess the talk show narrative/fans will need to adjust their expectations now to contender after what I heard the past few day.

Ya, that high energy, rebounding wing was missing last year..Brissett was overall really solid in that role the year before.

We were hoping Walsh could do it last season but he just couldn't - except for a couple of flashes early in the season.

Minott is looking good now though..
