I wish Bazley had more confidence in his skills. IMO, he's too good to be settling for as many 3 pointers as he does.

He should be using his handle and size to get to the paint more and create better shots for himself and his teammates. I feel like he's bailing the defense out too often when he settles for those long shots.

Oh well...hopefully that confidence and aggressiveness will come in time.

He’s a not a great finisher. There isn’t much he does well offensively right now. Just have to suffer through the growing pains.

So maledon can shoot?

Guess he will need to get physically stronger and be able to attack the paint but I really like the kid

I never thought his shot looked as inconsistent as the other guys. I’m happy for him.

yeah I think his shooting should be fine and he's already a decent passer. Not worried about his BBIQ. It's really difficult to be a good point guard in this league so he will need to get really stronger and more aggressive. He's so young that it will take a couple of years to have an idea about what he can bring but I like the kid.

Losing and Kings/NOLA winning is pretty nice. I stil like our odds for the 4th worst record in the NBA after Wolves/Wizards/Pistons

Well not good to play Houston and Wolves two times now

I still think we've got a decent shot at worst record. Wizards/Wolves have had a nightmare start with COVID and injuries, and Pistons are the opposite of us at the moment underperforming their expected W/L by 3.

Starting to get worried Houston might be this year's version of our team from last year - island of misfit toys come together to play better than expected and somehow creep into the playoffs. Their defense especially has been impressive so far.

The Wolves are really really bad (with or without Towns). Would be nice if Towns could come back before we play them though otherwise we will probably win both games. Wizards defense is a mess and most of their guys are coming back from Covid and they will play 16 games in February so I don't like their odds to win a lot of games. Maybe Detroit could win more games than us.

Agree about Houston but it will depend on health. If they stay healthy they can end up 7th or 8th in the West but it's gonna be really close and odds of them having some injuries issues are quite big so probably a play in team.

Also curious to know when Jimmy Butler is coming back. Heat gonna have some 6 easy games but if he isn't there (don't know about Dragic either) it would be nice if they go 2-4 or 3-3 at best. Still think Miami should be easily a playoff team but we never know...

The wizards pass the eye test for the worst record.
