The Official 2015-2016 Regular Season Thread

this one is fun

 

if they really plan on making him a 3, then it will be a disaster

he can't get his own shot

he can't shoot

he can't beat guys off the dribble

 

great we drafted a defensive specialist 4th overall, you can find those without wasting a high pick

 

this one is good too:

Well, that answered my concerns. That trade was a distant memory. I truly wanted to see what he, Fournier, was capable of first. His numbers were really low on a rare bit of playing time. At the most, I was skeptical of what he would become.

 

Also, did fournier grow some more inches? I swear he was 6"4-6"5 last time. He's a true 2 guard's size; 6"7. That gives him an edge at finishing and defending.

 

Fournier has looked very determined when you watch him play. He was very anxious when guarding harden and very patient when taking the ball to the rim. A play that impressed me tonight was his shoot ahead of everyone on the break at high speed with ability to finish in control of his layup. He almost always finishes on his first attempts. On every scoring attempt, he looks very focused including his shot form.

 

With that said, enjoy it while it lasts. BOOM

One thing about Oladipo is in college he was never used at this volume in terms of shooting. I still question if we are using him correctly.

 

Looking at the issues we have at PG, I wonder if Oladipo should play both 1 and 2 off the bench just to see how it goes. He would still log minutes, but right now he leads the league in total minutes.

 

The main reason is because I notice in the 4th quarter Payton is still hot or cold. Dipo is very good in the 4th and would have his legs if Payton needs to sit.

 

It is not a popular opinion to say a guy like Victor should not start, but a lineup of Payton/Fournier/Gordon Harris and Nik is very very balanced.

 

The only reason I even bring this up is simply because we are barely losing games and little lineup tweaks like this could make a difference.

 

Our main issue is consistency in the backcourt and putting Evan back there can solve this problem. I have not seen many nights where Elf AND Payton are both off.

 

Additionally, Harris, even on a bad night can still get 16 points in limited minutes. He actually is doing very well even when he is bad, if that makes any sense.

 

 

Victor is poised to possibly breakout, so this could all be irrelevant, but I'm more curious how the pieces fit than anything.

no matter what you think of oladipo, he needs to rest at least 4 more minutes per game. He needs his legs to be effective.

 

Payton was a -12 last night. he needs to get his confidence back.

The alternative is starting CJ Watson over Elf. That is our most efficient lineup right now. I could see that happening if Elf keeps struggling.

 

The main thing is that Elf and Victor as a tandem is not so hot right now.

Thank you Jesus! The one thing I've never thought about is where this team would be without one of its main 3 guys and the effects they would have.(Oladipo Harris Vuc)

 

Vuc would obviously be the biggest hit because we do not have a competent replacement.
