Eh. You might want to temper your expectations. He's got significant upside but he's probably going to be something like a more productive Joe Ingles or a Morris brother without the baggage and a higher basketball IQ. 

"A Morris brother without the baggage and a higher basketball IQ" is something I would take almost any day, certainly compared to some of what we have seen on our bench the last few years. Even a more productive Joe Ingles isn't a bad addition. I definitely got a chuckle over the Morris brothers comment! Baggage indeed!

Yeah. I'm really happy about adding him I just want to maintain proper expectations. He hits the right analytic numbers for "guy who surprises people and becomes a star seemingly out of nowhere". But it's not right to throw that on him today when the most likely career path is a 4th or really good 5th starter

I agree - I think many people are going to be pleasantly surprised. I'm just trying to keep my expectations in check for him as well.

I'm happy if Okeke is a Covington level player

17 of our next 20 games are against similarly talented teams to us or worse.

 Benchmark for success is 12-8 or better. 

That leaves us with 36 wins with 7 games remaining, 5 of which are against playoff teams.

I’m having a hard time grasping how we’re 5-24 against teams that are over .500.. that’s impressively bad. Then again, the talent discrepancy between the top of the league and bottom is huge right now.

Sounds about right. I think losing Isaac really hurt us.

Curious who’s gonna fall out of the rotation when DJ gets back. Probably Clark, but then who gets the back up 4 minutes? Clifford hates playing small up front, so maybe it’s not Clark, it’s Ennis or Iwundu

I am guessing it's because of Fultz.
