Injury - They said Knee Contusion - Then just Knee injury

This second unit is like watching amateur hour... Hampton is the only player worth anything in that second unit. They can't play defense, they are turning the ball over like a sieve... Chuma has to have stepped out of bounds more times this year then any other player in recent memory. Three times tonight. AND FREAKIN KEVON HARRIS... What the HECKELLL

I literally cannot stand watching them put in Kevon Harris, Admiral, Chuma, Hampton and Bamba... This is the worst lineup. Our guys that are healthy why are they playing 32 minutes? Play them 35-37 minutes. I understand rotations but seriously Caleb Houston DNP? I know Kevon has heart and muscle, and i know we are missing 4 players... but cmon.

This isnt a link at least i dont think it is...

I was gonna post all 5 rookies but i could only do two without logging in

Unfortunately for Cole I would run with this lineup even if he was healthy - Let him run the game with the second unit.

I mean we are shooting 15% from three to their 22% even if they were shooting 50% from three we'd still be 6 points ahead.

I gotta say for some reason with Bol in the lineup we are a great defensive team. Without him we are just good. Steele just called it the JumBol lineup, lol

i like the starting lineup

i dont normally agree with you, but this is about as real as an idea as you could ever have. Bring in DJ (and JJ Redick even though he's been out for a year) as vets of the bench - both know how to shoot the three with 40% accuracy and it plugs our holes. GRANTED it wont happen, but that would have been what i would have done last year. I bet DJ would have a resurgence and probably average 12-14 points a game playing with our squad at 42% 3 pt Efficiency

Hear Hear

Sux we cant trade bamba till January. Packaging him and Chuma, Harris and Hampton could net us Kyrie. (not saying i want him) he is shooting 41% from three and can score and pass and play PG. They might do that as 3 of the players have "tangible" upside they dont have an inside presence and i bet bamba would pair nicely with durant, and hampton and chuma probably will benefit from the gravity of Durant... oh well

that is true.

I wanted Jabari because i believed he could shoot. I did not want Paolo because he didn't fill the need at shooting, and his 3pt shooting in college was suspect. He had many games where he went 0 for 4 or 0 for 5 from 3pt. However i am happy with Paolo as it stands now, and i think he will at least hit 30-33% in his rookie year from 3. Jabari is no slouch either averaging almost 16 a game. Chet is a big 0 points average.

the 2 assists in the 4th dont show everything. We could have easily had 9 assists as there were shots that our guys just didnt make.

I'm laughing outloud saying this lineup with Bol, WCJ, Paolo, Franz and Ross might be our best lineup lol.

Im a bol believer. He is what we thought bamba was going to be. Bamba has the better frame, but maybe Bol can thicken up just a little.

Not saying i want this to happen, but how much losing do you think it would take to have a coaching change? Again i'm not saying i want one, just more of if we were 0-7 and then 2-15 the 3-21 etc, do the magic do something drastic?

Isnt Banchero also 19?

Since we will be watching all the rookies during the year here is a recap of yesterdays rookie games:

Still anyone who watches the games can tell that neither of them really stretch and reach to block shots all the time. Bamba just seems to lack energy. I guarantee we trade him this year after January when he's eligible.

I would trade bol and bamba for one guy that can block shots. I cant believe two over 7 foot guys with a 7'10 wingspan cant block shots.

so it starts... Can anyone find a tweets in 2019-2020-2021 that list markelle fultz, JI as unavailable...lol It would be funny to see them one on top of the other... Kinda like that Dr Manahttan Meme about batman movies

Really ESPN??? 1 More win thats it?? Not a good call for a #1 Pick
