Lost of shooting on the floor, AG at PF not having to share space with Issac, its pretty obvious what works and what does not...

And it's not a fluke either. Hennigan's players are our best players... by a wide margin.

Seriously though, they can only use the evaluation card for so long before they actually have to start building and actually acquire talent outside of just going BPA at #6 in the draft.

to be fair weirdly both of their undrafted players in khem and briscoe are good. maybe we should give away all draft picks since their brains flatten out come draft time.

He is monster in pick&roll defense, normally is good rebounder and finisher around rim.

But there's a difference between doing it for 15 minutes against backups and stiffs... and doing it for 30 minutes against starters, all stars, etc. Can't just assume he'd make a great starter because he's a solid backup. That's how Biyombo got a $70 million contract.


Precisely. And now there's "trade Bamba" posts I mean I like Birch but let's pump the brakes a bit here. As I've said before Bamba is far from a finished product I don't know why people expected he would be. I'm fine with Birch getting more minutes and maybe that takes a little pressure off Bamba as well.


What part of my post said anything about starting, starter, over 16 min, not comming off bench or anything else?

I praised his defense ,rebounds and abilit to finish lobs . :crazy:

Or we could maybe give the guy with the longest wingspan in NBA history who has been in the league for a few months and the guy who has already shown elite NBA defense in spots and is basically in his rookie year, longer than 5 minutes to see if they’re going to be any good.
