I'd like to see a rotation of:

Starters:
Jackson, Booker, Warren, Bender, Monroe
Bench:
Ulis, Daniels, DJJ, Chriss, Chandler

3 playmakers in the starting lineup, 2 good shooters in Book and Bender, and a couple of interior finishers.

Id assume if the Pelicans are dropping 90 on you you'd be down by more than 30. So I'll go with the Pels dropping 90 on you.

#10 on the court right now is doing a better of running the point than Mike James.

The worst thing is, I don't even know if this game is the most disappointing basketball game and team right now to me, the way the Wildcats are playing, because at least were supposed to be good.

Ulis + James: 11 points, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnover 45% FG.

Doing ok comparably.

It's crazy but we aren't even tanking this year. Last year we literally tanked by sitting Bledsoe and Dudley and were still competitive. This year we are definitely not tanking we just flat out suck

We should try some lineups without Ulis and James. There's no written law stating you need to have someone listed at PG on the floor at all times. Just because they are the only players listed at PG on our roster does not mean they qualify to play. They are not good players, so why should they get playing time?

I thought Triano was all about who was performing and giving effort, so let's try a lineup with Booker/Jackson or Booker/Daniels in the back court.

You are tanking when your point guards are Tyler Ulis and Mike James.

Maybe, I consider tanking when we sit players who would be a positive on the court in order to lose. We flat out just don't have anyone better to play at the PG position, McD isn't going to trade anyone to pick one up, and the free agents are all signed up or in China

Prior to Monroe, Chandler had more experience than the other 9 players combined.

That's a tank at least of sorts.

hardest one to watch, only the team with beasley on it comes to mind otherwise


That was the least likeable. This is the least watchable because they are so very bad at basketball. Or whatever it is they are doing. It isn't quite basketball.

All this team needs is a elite PG. Imagine if we had a PG with a high basketball I.Q, someone like Troy Daniels would probably win 6th man of the year and Chandler and Monroe would be unstoppable on offense. OH yeah Booker's game would also be on another level

I'll take him. He's a beast and will likely improve on the defensive end, but he isn't really making any sort of difference in wins or losses yet, and that's at the college level playing with more talent than his opposition so it's a bit troubling. I haven't seen enough of anyone else at this point so it's hard to compare. It's hard to rank anyone above Doncic right now given his resume though.
