Yep, entirely possible that BI and Zubac are starting next year and the true cornerstones of this franchise. I'm not saying trade DLO or Randle, but if Boogie or Butler is available for say DLO/Randle/lou I might make a move at this point.
All 3 of those guys are good to great offensively...but man, you can't win games in this league without defense and non of those guys play any. |

Those 2 are encouraging, on other hand, Russell and randle better find out what they want to be in this league. |

He needs to start calling people out. Our individual effort on defense is just downright pathetic. |

ok, but he is still very very poor @ 50% of the game |
His DRPM is actually 16th out of 93 PF's.
Okafor is 2nd to last. |
not claiming anything compared to Okafor, except that both are bad defenders...they both play Center....why are you comparing them to PF's |

He's talking about effort and giving minutes to guys who are earning it, to be fair. He's excited that the team fought back and found some energy. _________________ Austin Reaves

Early in the season, Luke said he'd start who ever earned it.
Start: Zu, Black (nance), Ingram, Young, and ???
Or, alternatively: Zu, Black (Nance), Deng, Young, Ingram
if he starts sitting some people that aren't trying very hard, it might light a fire under their azzes
and it's not like there's much to lose at this point _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

I don't mind him pointing out the positives as long as he addresses the negative as well. |

Lou's a possibility...there's been a few times this season when Luke asked him to act as the PG, and he did pretty well reigning in the shots and distributing when he was asked to do that
one thing is for sure - you'd get about 200% more effort on D (Lou would try..he might not do well, but he'd give effort) _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

It's the suited connectors phenomenon in poker. If you look at enough (bleep) hands in a row, suited connectors or one gappers start looking like pocket aces. We've had a lot of (bleep) games. Luke is grasping to whatever straws he can right now. |

Okafor is 2nd to last among centers.
Jokic is listed at power forward and ESPN's drpm rankings have him listed with the power forward.
In any event, he's not nearly the sieve being painted. _________________ KOBE |

Yeah, Ingram can
My point was more on the side of needing Lou to be a little more selective in that scenario _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

This team has competed in about 30 games out of 45 games they played, that tells you that the team needs a star for the team to take the next step. |
