Actually a pretty big game as far as draft position. Tankathon has us as the 12 pick right now. Lose this and we go up to 8th. Only 2.5 games between 4th and 12th slot right now.

Graham off to a bad start. Also Memphis still refuses to play the great YuTa WaTanabe

From the limited action I've seen on Yuta, he seems like a talented individual but doesn't really fit so well playing 5 on 5.

Im done with Monk. His lazy casual walk to the free throw line there sums up his entire career thus far.

Ive been down in Grahams shooting lately, but good God if and when he develops a solid midrange game its over. He sees the floor incredibly well, so much so that if he were surrounded with players that were capable of putting the ball in the basket at an average to above average level he would average 11 assist plus a game

We should consider sitting Graham a couple games. He's running into a wall and I wouldn't want his confidence to be shaken after his great start to the year.

His shot isn't falling but he's still doing a great job running the offense. Let him figure it out. If he's gonna be our starter when we're winning, he's gotta learn how to get himself out of a shooting hole.

Mistakes are just learning opportunities. As long as guys are aggressive, no one should be worried.

Only thing im worried about is Grahans shooting percentage becoming embarrasingly low. 38.2% now.

Would love him to at least get his shot HERE. I know he would be a fan favorite.

Yeah Devonte' is shooting like Brandon Jennings. He's an excellent playmaker though. He just needs a better center to play off and a better wing player to shoulder offense.

Malik Monk deserves more shots. I actually think he fits better with Devonte' than Terry. Terry needs to control the ball the whole shot clock. This is not good when teams force the ball out of Devonte's hands and delay the offensive set.

Malik can make things happen very quickly. Malik can definitely improve drawing more fouls and he drives and finishes at the rim with so much balance. He's so acrobatic.

I'd rather develop Monk over Rozier. I think this is as good as it gets for Rozier and he doesn't have potential to make our bedrock player better.

I'd be curious to see how we start halves shooting threes with Malik in with Devonte' and Rozier as first sub.

"Malik is garbage"

What kind of post is that?
