I don't expect players to be perfect, so if a bench player has a turnover or two in 15 minutes of play, I won't hold it against them unless it was really inexcusable.
TLC had the jester award on lock for a while, but he's dislodged his head out of his ass enough to no longer be an automatic lock for it every game lol.
Shamet had a brutal stretch in 4th quarter where he missed shots, had bad turnovers, and gave up an and1 on defense, which led to a short lived Clippers 5 pt lead.
I have no faith in Shamet.
We honestly need:
1) Legit NBA level back up or starting center that can rebound and block/alter shots. I'm sorry, unless Norvel Pelle proves me wrong, we are lacking there.
Pelle is a NGC. I have a feeling we're just waiting until the buyout market is ripe.
2) Legit NBA level wing defender strong enough to defend 3 + 4. I like Shump, he's a great guy but I am not convinced that he is the answer for a team with championship level aspirations.
Yeah, this is one the one position I thought was imperative for us to resolve in the offseason. A good defensive tweener would help solve a lot of things for us.
3) I think we need one more shooter off of the bench. I don't trust Shamet or TLC.
I think Shamet can be that shooter. TLC is definitely not a shooter, so I'd be shocked if ever really became consistent from long range.
