Gotta be honest...

I kind of like the Kemba/Smart/Hayward/Tatum group more than Kemba/Brown/Hayward/Tatum. The added playmaking/ball handing Smart brings over Brown is huge. Brown’s obviously a better play finisher than Smart but Tatum/Kemba/Hayward more than pick up the slack there when their responsibilities shift towards that since Smart takes on more of the playmaking duties.

36.7% from three and nearly 90% from FT plus solid defense on certain players will keep him on the team. Esp with his cheap contract.

He's the second most impactful player on the team, at worst.

Yeah I just looked it up after I posted. Was surprised it was that high. Here's hoping he keeps improving it.

If a Theis falls in a forest and no ref is around to hear it, does he still get called for a foul?

Yes.

The 36.7% is fools gold. Extremely low volume and only takes it on wide open shots. Defense doesn’t pay him the slightest bit of respect as a shooter and it mucks up spacing if we have other non shooters are on the floor with him.
