The real shock value is seeing:
1) Timmy Vucevic
2) The great Fournier/TRoss/JSimmons trio
3) Jonathan Isaac with the impressive 2-way performance THIS EARLY!
4) The UNSELFISH San Antonio Spurs-esque PASSING TEAM-WIDE!
In the past few years, I have always favored more passing than anything else for this team. Wins against MIA and CLE is why.
The core, for me, is Isaac, Vucevic, Fournier, and Aaron, with minor core players like Simmons and others. And if we keep winning, then the core is everyone lol.
Where's the defense though? Are they hungry enough to get revenge against Brooklyn?
Which minor core players do you mean with others?
For me the core is gordon,isaac,fournier,simmons( every team needs a player with this intensity).
Would also keep iwundu,he has the skills to become a hollis-jefferson or derek anderson type of player.
Vucevic in shape can do good things on the court
I could see why you put Simmons with the main core for sure. If Iwundu develops like that, he would for sure be part of that minor core. Who I really meant was T-Ross and Elfrid as supplementary core pieces. Both are having bigger impacts than the box score shows through 2-3 games. I almost want to put D.J. too, because we really need that shooter who can also pass, but I don't know if he can be consistently good.
