Sit Barnes and Poeltl. They need as many Ls as possible here in the near future because the schedule gets very soft soon.

Mogbo rookie of the year campaign begins now.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Scottie out may not hurt us that much. Should translate to higher shooting efficiency and more ball movement for us. I'm curious to see how we' ll look on offense.

Am I insane for thinking Poeltl might be more impactful to the team than Barnes? We might have actually gotten better.

Nope, but Poeltl is good. He won't win you any games. Heck, in this one how effective will he be with Turner shooting threes.

They are equal on impact. Just check their record for this season, when they dont play. 2-11 for both.

Yep, I figured they were right around the same level of impact. Obviously Barnes is the better individual player, but Poeltl gets a bonus from filling that desperate positional need for us.
