no offensive talent out there.

Defensively, blazers are basically 5:1 vs KAt or Wiggins.

Averaged 2.3 ppg and 2.7 mpg in 7.3 mpg when coming off the bench for Adelman. It wasn't until he started those last 15 games that Adelman got good production out of him.

Ah maybe it was Flip then but I recall him having some good seasons, solid for a bench guy though I know he started. Was just weird how he cant reproduce that form the bench, not even in spurts.

Dieng was actually solid as a starter before taj got here.

Considering Tyus is only decent ball handler we have today...we need to go to KAT more often on offense..that's better than some of the ugly offense I have seen so far

Terrell and CJ Williams both horrific. I feel like we could use Brandon Knight as an emergency guard.

Maybe Thibs should consider starting Dieng? I mean, Taj might be able to contribute form the bench, Dieng seems incapable of doing anything from the bench, he started out decently that year but that is gone already. We really need something from him with how thin we are and he has talent and has been able to contribute before.

I remember when we had an entire starting 5.

"is Cap Space white?" is still one of the best posts ever on this board.

In some ways, I think it's because he's someone who plays off of his teammates. On the second unit, he's not usually playing off of a Towns or Love.

yeah, i think this is it too. He's a guy that needs to be the 5th best player on the floor. Also possible that he benefited greatly from playing with Rubio.

Imagine a prime Butler, KG, AK, on the same squad. Talk about a defensive nightmare. That team would wreck shop.

That was them haha, I loved that starting 5 too, might not have been a great team but it was pretty fun to watch. Then AK went away and Shved lost his smile.
