That way the lineups are more familiar. Its all about the consistency. Not sure how that makes any sense being that our starting lineup has been anything but consistent all year.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 1 hour ago, TrueMagicFanSince1987 said: Fultz4thewin posted a graphic that shows Ennis is shooting 20 % from wide open 3’s and Wes is hitting 47.1 % and yet he is the odd man out. Doesn’t make any sense to me when we lack a decent outside threat and good defense/hustle yet we bury guys like Iwundu on the bench who do exactly that. Assistant coach moves at it’s finest. I mean I definitely think there's logic behind getting a real 3 and D guy in with the starters because iwundu is too inconsistent. Iwundu tends to produce in waves and you probably want someone more reliable in there. I'm just not sure why anyone ever thought that was ennis. Ennis might get hot and hit 4 threes in a game. Iwundu has never made more than 2. That's the only real difference on offense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iwundu has never made more than 2. That's the only real difference on offense While Iwundu is inconsistent on the offensive side of the ball he does make up for it with his hustle and energy on the defensive end. He’s also a team player and has above average b-ball IQ. He’s also deserved the minutes that are being taken from him by Ennis by always staying ready and helping this team positively when his number is called. Ennis hasn’t earned any of that with this team and the only thing he has over Iwundu is being in the NBA longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one went near him, they just dared him to shoot. None were very close to going in. Im not a huge Iwundu fan but I don’t think they could get away with that if he was on the floor.

s1n1st3r12 27 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 Talks on Boogie are that the Lakers will probably sign him next year depending on his rehab. They are the closest to how he is progressing so it is smart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
