Look even if we were 4 and 0 right now, it wouldn’t matter, we don’t have the depth to be a championship contender. We arent even 1 or 2 NBA grade players away for that matter, we are at the minimum 3 away.

  • PG: missing

  • SG: Anunoby

  • SF: Barnes

  • PF: Siakam

  • C: missing

  • 6th Man: missing

  • Bench back-up scorer: missing

What we are hoping for is growth in our young players, so we have a chance in the future.

Scottie is playing exceptionally well, went into tonight statistically in the top 10 players in the league. Will that last, drop, or get better? Logically speaking a 3rd year player will only get better, but the question is how quick?

His averages after 4 games:

PTS: 21.0 - 32nd

REB: 8.7 - Tied-25th

AST: 6.7 - Tied-4th

FG%: 56.5 - 34th

So the diamond in the rough this season should be watching Scottie grow into a dominant player. Let him get good enough to lift this team to win games. I think he is that good and will be doing that but it will take time.

    If you care about Scottie and Grady’s growth, you should care about having assets to put around them. Assets which we have been pissing away…

      I care, but not that much. We have enough talent and picks to package when Scottie and Gradey are ready to take the next leap.

      We’d have more if we didn’t trade for Poeltl, tanked last year for Wemby and traded atleast Siakam (maybe OG too).
