And no this isn’t a “We should’ve kept so and so” thread. This was more me thinking some of our guys with a great coach in Ime could’ve shined at least defensively.

For me, I think Josh Christopher and Garuba would look better at least defensively.

Josh played with a very high motor, but awful fundamentals/habits on defense like basically all of our squads. He would reach, and jump on every pump fake, etc. Jalen had similar issues or at least ball-watching last year which hasn’t been an issue this year.

Garuba I think would’ve looked closer to the defend 5 guys potential people hyped up for him under Udoka.

I would not say no to a Garuba reunion if possible since we desperately need a backup C. Not even Garuba, but anyone who isn’t awful in those minutes like Jock

    KPJ and it’s not close. Udoka said at his presser he had big plans for him

      Definitely KPJ, I believe Ime would have him coming off the bench and buying into the 6th man role. Many of us have said KPJ coming off the bench is his ideal role on a contending team.
