2026-27 The Coach's Corner: A Place To Discuss Concepts, Rotations And Tactics

They still are. Pete started on LG and went on to work for the Lakes for a bit. Darius is still what you describe. Raj, too. And they're still better at breaking down a game than you or anybody here.

Really, it isn't close.

 

i think a good solution for you is to stay out of the thread instead of just being a d***.

 

It’s one thing to listen to what other people tell you. It’s another thing to try to use your own creative thought. Those guys are great, but for the people who care about X’s and O’s we can debate it as well.

 

It’s always the most exceptional people that have to tell others how much better they are. Yes, that’s certainly how that always works.

 

VladeBallsGrandfather just has a way with words where he can effortlessly put posters down in new and interesting condescending ways.

I’m sure there are many people here who could be fantastic analysts, but this is their hobby and they do very well in their career.

 

Jake started actually 43 games for us last year. More than half and we still won 53 games. I'm hoping for some improvement from him too so if he's the starter I'm not worried at all. We also have a much better bench and Kessler instead of Ayton

Regarding the other guy, what a weird comment. A basketball forum is not the place for a thread to talk basketball. Ok...

 

At the moment it's between Ziaire and Jake for me on who starts. Jake can defend 2-4 well enough that he fits that side of the ball. Outside of last year he was a pretty good catch and shoot guy too, not sure if he can get that back.

Ziaire is the better POA guy, and is maybe a touch more athletic, but hasn't been a good shooter. Maybe the quality of looks improves that alongside our playmaking?

 

Yeah I think ultimately it will be Jake, if nothing else for some continuity. We would have 3 of the 5 starters being "older" guys, with a completely new bench.
It can also help at the start for an easier integration of the new guys. Maybe changing after the ASB or something if someone emerges.

Thybulle is still my starter, but I'm fine with Jake or Ziaire. Neither gives us a title winning team, but each of the 3 fit well enough to be as good or better than last year in the regular season. In the playoffs remains to be seen and will need to see reps from this new group.

 

This is a good solution and it really isn't even close...lol.
