He's too unguardable off the dribble to put off the ball, though. I think their hope is that he just learns how to make better decisions.

Yea, he went nuts towards the end there. He's a very good scorer but does not put his teammates in good position.

Coby White isn't a PG. He's a run of the mill 3rd scoring guard, who was played at PG on his college team, because they did have anybody else.

Coby will be a 30% distributor in due time, just like several other non-distributors that entered the league and had the ball put in their hands. Not worried about that. My issue with him is his defensive issues. That's what puts him on the bench, IMO. Same with Dindwiddie. And we'll see the same issue with Tyrese Maxey. I guess the best advice is to just appreciate these guys with their elite creating off the dribble and put up with the trash defense.

So... is Wall back or...?

Lol Thibs finished a preseason game with his starters, played Barrett and Randle 29 minutes, played Noel more than Robinson, only played 11 guys. He's back.

Houston needs to put Wall on a pitch count ASAP. Same with Cousins. 25-28 mpg all year.

He'll never be pre-injury Wall and he's playing a truly terrible team but he looks like he can definitely be a useful player still

Chandler Hutchison's hairline is unnervingly low. It looks like he doesn't have a forehead.

Wall looked pretty fantastic tonight. Just as good as before the injury. If he can play at that level Harden may change his mind and stay.

It would be very Wizards if Wall was fine and Westbrook completely broke down.

Then TJ McConnell gets waived, released from his contract with the Pacers, signs on in Washington and starts showing off his new .45

Mason Jones just knows how to get any ref to blow the whistle. He's going to stick around in the league despite being a pedestrian athlete.

We should have signed him. Stats too crazy not to take a chance.

Negrodamus · Post #697 » by **Negrodamus** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:13 am

Elleby getting early PT in the Trailblazers game. Guarantee he's been putting in crazy effort on defense in training camp. He was a steal for them in the second round.

And Harry Giles is playing mad right now. Dude has the look of a stud big man.

UptownPhilly · Post #699 » by **UptownPhilly** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:16 am

Hezonja has been waived. He’s a name that was thrown around on this board in the past. Could he be a decent vet min signing?

Hield is just, woof man. Absolute chucker. I don't understand the interest from our fan base.
