He’s been struggling and hasn’t shown tons of improvement as clearly the worst starter thus far. This opens up more shots for Chet/Jalen and solidifies the core trio of SGA/Chet/Jalen. It also gives Cason more opportunities and improves the spacing. I think the offensive fit and defense is better.

His playmaking and size might be missed, a bit, but at the end of the day you don’t want the ball in his hands and there are better defenders which often made him a liability off-ball. He would have been better transitioning to 6th man anyways, this just makes that easier and quicker.

    like people saying “we need his floaters”

    I can’t! 🤣🤣.

    We really have a 6’8 player tossing up soft little floaters, being ignored by his man, while Shai, Chet, and some of our 6’6 and under players are fighting for their lives! Fans brag about his height, not b/c he can help against 3 and 4 defenders, but b/c he can be thrown on under-sized guards!

    At the very least, he shouldn’t be starting.
