The deeper we get into this season, the more we’ll know for sure but what are your thoughts as of right now? Do yall think we can get over the hump with Maxey as our number 2?
Personally I think his growth has been satisfying and he’ll continue to improve, but I think we’ll need 1 of those guys mentioned to get through Boston. Those guys offer experience and Boston’s size and strength won’t limit them as a scorer. Ps I’m not exactly knowledgeable on the contracts and stuff
Areas we still need to improve: 1) on ball defense (Alex Caruso would be a great pickup) 2) another part time or full time ball handler / multi-level scoring threat.
We had a lot of trouble defending Garland and lob threats (especially Jarret Allen) vs the Cavs. It wasn’t until the second half, when Pat Bev started denying Garland the ball, and started actually keeping up with the pick and roll, that our defense actually started working. The problem is Pat Bev offers nothing on the offensive end and might not be able to keep up for high usage.
