A little reminder to everyone who’s surprised that Malachi’s playing well. He showed great promise as a rookie, & then inexplicably NN put him on a short leash or refused to play him. Y’all actually thought that Jeff Downtin was a better hooper?! Where is he now? Malachi is still relatively young, & has the chance to develop into a solid backup PG in the League

Yeah that year they went on to finish 5th, but at the cost of playing a tight 7 man rotation which was never sustainable.
Masai put too much trust in Nurse, but we went from a team known for developing taken, like the Heat, to not developing any talent at all under Nick and his staff
