BBROSS 20 Report post Posted November 21, 2019 Just gotta hope we see one of fultz JI or Bamba really improve over this stretch to try and get anything positive out of the massive whole Vuc has left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is not close to being ready to start and you don’t develop young players by giving them undeserved playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted November 22, 2019 If you want to stay competitive start Birch and keep Bamba in the same role in the same minutes until he starts playing better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol He would never play... He is not currently better than khem. Balance has been the key for development. I think they split time like DJ and fultz. I would not finish the game with mo. I care less who starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicpassion 4 Report post Posted November 22, 2019 Bamba’s fouls will probably dictate his playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted November 22, 2019 7 hours ago, 3rd Quarter Collapse said: The concern here is Bamba not being able to lower his fouling rate and consistently being in foul trouble if he plays starting minutes. I would like to see how he does with the starting unit, though— Bamba played a lot better offensively with Fultz as his PG, so it could make a difference on that end. Bamba is not ready to go against starting centers. He is barely playable against backups. Just because he is starting does not change who he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBROSS 20 Report post Posted November 22, 2019 Only thing I can take is all our players seem a lot worse off the bench then the games they've started (fultz, DJ, Aminu have all been better when they've started Ross seems a lot better when on the court with majority starters. Maybe playing with the starters will help Mo. Bamba seemed alot better when playing with Grant then DJ though DJ is the far superior player he has tunnel vision.
