Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted June 23, 2017 They're perfect except they all blend into the same positions. Along with the other kid we got that will take me years to learn to spell. It just seems like we have a lot jam of frontcourt players with no idea who any of them are or what's best for them. Something might be good for 1 but a disaster for the other 2. There is no balance just a bunch of question marks. no this is a good thing (assuming a purge of the players that don't fit). ross and iwundu and issac and Gordon and even hezonja are going to be able to defend the perimeter better by essentially being a homogenous blob of wings. it's going to screw up anyone who wants to run a pick and roll/pop or a set of floppy screens to get guys open for threes. our defense will improve significantly.

There is no balance just a bunch of question marks. Mario is a 2, Isaac is a 3 and Gordon is a 4. Yes they can all switch to each other's positions but their natural positions are very well defined IMO. The second rounder is a good combo SG/SF at 6'7" and long arms. We don't have a log jam we just have two guys (Vuc and Fornier) who need to go because they are taking important minutes from young guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mario/Isaac/AG if Mario is ready. Trade Vuch and Fournier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If or when we are able to get rid of Vuch/Fournier it will clear a lot of things up. Hopefully we get it done sooner than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted June 23, 2017 So a random thought. Perhaps management didn't use all four picks last night because they wanted to preserve two of those assets in the form of picks for trade purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted June 23, 2017 If AG and Elfrid can replicate the month of April they just had this team will take a huge step forward. I mean, yeah, sure. If Gordon averages 19-8-2 for a full season, he's probably close to an All-star. Same if Elf averages 16-6-9. Of course, that's taking a tiny sample size of the best six-game stretch for both of them. It's only six games. We went 2-4 in those games. Two of them were against Brooklyn. I think we need to stop looking for those two as saviors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
