    Our defense is anchored by Robinson. Bojan started on the Jazz when their defense was anchored by Gobert

      If we have Bojan on the roster he’d be coming off the bench. Right now our bench unit is more or less Hartenstein-Hart-RJ-Donte-IQ. Personally I think the bench unit is pretty good and they play fast and is generally good on defense; I don’t see where Bojan can help us when we don’t really need Josh Hart to be a sniper. We need his defense and he’s fine enough from 3 to keep the defense honest.

      What’s harming us is inconsistent performance by key guys like Randle and Grimes so far this season. If I’m honest Mitch is kind of iffy the last 2 games at well. IIRC he had 3 boards in the first half yesterday so that’s no bueno.

        You don’t have to play all 5 bench guys together. If Randle is inconsistent like you say why not bring in a guy at his position that could bring consistency when Randle is having an off night. We don’t have to live and die with the 9 guys we got

          We don’t, but I’d reason that introducing a new guy into the rotation does more harm than good at this point. I think Donte has looked more comfortable and that took a while. If we’re talking about Embiid or hell even someone like Bradley Beal then it’d be worth it. I say not for Bojan on an expiring contract who’s never been an average defender, and double no for giving up picks for him.

          And then consistency aside, I think this team has enough talent for 1-2 guys to play better to cover up some slaggers. I know we lost yesterday but it was close with Brunson in the driver’s seat with IQ dropping buckets for the first half, and then the second half Randle took over and our big men Mitch and Hartenstein woke up and started grabbing boards.
