He’s just a year older than Toumani and two years older than Dame was when he was a rookie. I know him and Scoot could be an awkward match like Dame and CJ were, but he’s as much a part of the future of this team as anyone. I think we forget how young he still is because he’s been in the league for so long and as much as he’s progressed, there’s still a lot of room for him to grow. Can’t wait to see him back in action.
I think strictly trying to chase the same models as previous champions isn’t the wisest move. At that point, you might as well just keep losing and trading off every player until you land a top 10 player ever like Bron/Steph/KD/Giannis/Joker/Kawhi. Scoot doesn’t look like any of the point guards that won a championship, but obviously you have to see what you have with him.
I think you have to try your best to reach a top 10 offense and defense. We have had a top 11 defense during the month of November and that is with injuries and having to play guys like Bouyea/Reath and just a rough stretch for us with injuries. I honestly think that we have a top 10 defense with the way guys are competing for us but our offense is dead last.
I think Simons is going to help a ton because of his spacing and his shooting gravity will make the game way easier for guys like Sharpe/Ayton
