    Or sub Wagner in to play PF when Kuz goes out and BI's in the game. If Capella is out I'd like to see Zu start and play them big in the paint and more of Wagner in alongside him.

    feels like he has not worked on his 3pt shot whatsoever, still hesistant, still misses badly and his mid range is also suspect. I think his Ft shooting is a pretty good indicator of the type of "shooter" he'll be, which isn't a good one.

    Not to be too harsh but I don't think his form looks good at all for long distance. He is going to have to keep working on it. Right now, doesn't look right. HIs mid-range has been pretty decent though.

    The fact he barely can get shots off from 3 is more worrisome . Footwork skills ( little use of the "hop") and a slow shot release are the problem .

    He is the complete opposite of KD ( same body type) in terms of fluidity , quickness and ball handling

    TBH, I think it's a lack of strength. He has to really slingshot it up there. Once he fills out I think he'll be an ok shooter.

    Often overlooked, but how about Brandon's clutch defense on George down the stretch....

    4th QTR and OT: 1pt
    FG: 0-5
    3P: 0-4
    +/-: -12

    We have no other elite wing defender to replace Ingram. Need to keep him at all costs.

    I'd say he was a D (dime) and D player last night.

    Like a Draymond role.

    Yeah the shot was broken but he made up for it with the double digit assists and the strong D. All of our main three young guys have had games recently where something was off but they were able to work around it and contribute. That's what I've been impressed with for BI, Kuz and Zo.

    There are times it's painful as all hell to watch him drive the lane. It's almost like he's wearing Forrest Gump's leg braces.

    I gotta say, I'm getting nervous about him. Something just doesn't feel right to me.

    It may be my pink glaases again but it seems to me that with all his awkwardness, it's gotten better compared to last season. He has a very unique build, I still expect him to become a lot more fluid once he has grown into his body. He may actually be pretty scary once that happens.

    Out of the prospects on this team, Ingram is by far the most frustrating to watch for me, but it is mainly because I still have huge expectations for him and he hasn't been really able to meet them... yet. As much as I get frustrated when watching him, I really believe we should give him more time - it's probably a shorter adjustment period if you are built in a more traditional way Basketball-wise.

    The examples of DLO and Julius also suggest patience may be the way to go with such young players.

    he does have that gangly baby bambi wobbly undeveloped not grown into his body kind of look to him often

    Hoping that smoothes out in the next couple of years. I think he's a keeper. I don't think we need a 3rd star. Develop our kids, and sign another guy this offseason.

    Prosper.

    I'm off of him. I was at the head of the table ready to proclaim this dude as a monster in waiting. He's nothing but shook out there.

    BI was great in OT today. He was our KD for those few minutes.

    Shame he didn't get to touch the ball during our last possessions.

    Big OT for BI.

    You're right. It was a crying shame that he didn't touch the ball the last two possessions. KCP's decision to take the long three instead of passing to BI = :Lonzoreally:
