Starting to be a bit concerned about Al. I think his age was starting to show in the playoffs last year, definitely in his 3 point shooting. When you don’t have your legs under you it’s going to impact your shot. This year, 6 games in he’s 25% from 3.
I felt like his age really showed on Monday night against the Timberwolves.
As we get deeper into the season I don’t think Al can be relied upon as much, especially from an offensive output.
We still have the Grant TPE left, but not sure what Brad will get out of that when you package it with picks. Otto Porter Jr., maybe? Who knows.
Until then, we have 14 players signed to the active roster, why not use that final spot on someone like JaMychal Green.
I feel like Green would be able to come in for a few minutes per game and stretch the floor and do what Grant did and hit 1 or 2 corner threes.
Last year with the Warriors he shot 38% from 3 which is respectable.
Very low risk signing that could have a nice reward.
I think Al comes and goes in spurts and coming off the bench will help him. That dunk the other night against the Pacers, I think it was, showed the clock rewinding. But yes, I think another piece that can rotate around Horford and Kornet would be nice. I was hoping to see Queta more and the blowouts have been a perfect opportunity to see how well he gels with the rest of the team, but it’s a shame with his injury.
I think it’s a matter of consistency and health with our guys. As long as they’re healthy and not popping out babies, the season is ours.
