Real Starting 5 without Bojan has played 5 games and 29 minutes. Cade, Ivey, Asuar, Stew and Duren. They are a net positive 10. Even though the sample is tiny which is the problem. Cade is not built like Luka to go this hard on offense. He doesn’t have athletic or extreme power over most of his defenders. He needs to play the wing position while Ivey becomes the main ball handler. Stew is not a rim protecting center. Bojan is missed and so is Monte Morris for the bench Unit. The real team hasn’t played much together yet and the Killian and Bagley experiment was costly. I also hate the coach calling his players for not playing hard or executing when his Xs and Os look so bad thus far. I prefer coaches who take responsibility for both basketball and the attitude of players since that’s literally their job.

The problem is Monty did take accountability for them not playing hard. He doesn’t even realize how bad his X’s and O’s are.
