    No we have a pipeline of 3 and D players for sure. I pointed out before that about 1/3 the roster is perimeter defensive players. Smart/Vando/Vincent/LaRavia/Thierro/Manon/Bronny. That's actually about 40% of the roster.

    Just need one of Vando/Thierro/Manon to pop as a shooter. Looks like Manon could be that guy. Looking forward to seeing Thierro.

    And young Bronny is already showing my expected uptick at POA with the learning care of Marcus Smart. He is getting more up into players when it’s wise to do so and his hands have become much more active. Starting to hit some shots again with varsity and making plays both sides of the ball while committing very few turnovers.

    LOL cue the haters …. who at this point IS all they are doing.

    Bronny is a much better athlete than Vincent. Bronny could have better upside than Gabe, and Gabe is an NBA player.

    Still would like to get an established 3 and D player for the present though.

    Not to mention he has like 6 or 7 more years experience and physical growth to catch and surpass where Gabe is. Already looks better in some specific areas.
