His problem on d is latteral quickness
The guy is lights out from 3. A good defensive team like us should be able to hide him.

Doesn't seem like a nurse thing to do. He started fvv tonofht for example because I think he sees fvv as the starter ahead of norm.
Kyle didn't do much at the start of the game. Could be that FVV started so Kyle wouldn't have to carry the load. IMO you don't start both Kyle and FVV as you won't get full value out of both. We'll have to see how it goes.
Fvv was the defacto starter last season when kawhi was out... I agree with you that fvv and Kyle shouldn't be staring together but like I said I'm not surprised at ňurses decision making. Thats why I said what I said about Stanley getting Mins. Tonight ape ifically he played a really tight rotation which was pretty much the locked in guys, add then began experimenting with pieces next to those guys. His first off the bench after the main guys was Terrence which made wense. And then stabley. Like I said nurse is pretty deliberate. I already said who I feel my rotation is I just don't think nrrse feels the same.
But stanley provides barely anything out there. He's og without a 3 pointer which is pretty useless on this team.

It's kinda crazy how good the Raptors scouting/development is compared to other teams. OG was a late first rounder. And SJ was a lottery pick.

If you see open Gym what really struck me was what MU said about Hernandez "If you got a young kid who is 6'10", loves to play baseball and has a little skill you take a chance on him."
See just like the Spurs, MU values a players heart and head as much as their "natural" ability, and has the people instincts to usually predict such a thing. This is a huge advantage because a persons personality is the key to growth and development. Another coach mentioned that it is all most a running joke, how ambitious the players all are. This is not by coincidence. You look for the smallest of edges and MU has found that small edge in targeting older 21-22 players with great ambition that love basketball. These players are very much under valued by other front offices that are obsessed with super athletic freshman that usually have massive egos.

It's like his brain is moving twice as fast as his body. He's panacing out there. Unless he's showing something completely different in practice, I can't see floor time for him outside of garbage time. Maybe his value, for now, is in his strong defense during practice; making the starters work.

This was an off game for Pascal and we won by 16.

It feels like Spicy is saving his runouts for the regular season...which I don’t disagree with.
