Look even if we were 4 and 0 right now, it wouldn’t matter, we don’t have the depth to be a championship contender. We arent even 1 or 2 NBA grade players away for that matter, we are at the minimum 3 away.

  • PG: missing

  • SG: Anunoby

  • SF: Barnes

  • PF: Siakam

  • C: missing

  • 6th Man: missing

  • Bench back-up scorer: missing

What we are hoping for is growth in our young players, so we have a chance in the future.

Scottie is playing exceptionally well, went into tonight statistically in the top 10 players in the league. Will that last, drop, or get better? Logically speaking a 3rd year player will only get better, but the question is how quick?

His averages after 4 games:

PTS: 21.0 - 32nd

REB: 8.7 - Tied-25th

AST: 6.7 - Tied-4th

FG%: 56.5 - 34th

So the diamond in the rough this season should be watching Scottie grow into a dominant player. Let him get good enough to lift this team to win games. I think he is that good and will be doing that but it will take time.

    Gradey and Scottie are the only reasons people should watch

      I love watching them grow but Jesus Christ, what is people’s deal here with setting standards for others fans? I can watch for whatever reasons I please. Maybe I’m excited to see Pascal grow in this new ecosystem. Maybe I get hyped watching a guy who was homeless make plays in the NBA. Maybe I enjoy introducing my friends to NBA basketball, even when we lose? Maybe I like seeing Schroder defy expectations? Maybe I know how to place a fun bet or two, to spice up even losing games? And maybe just want to see some athletic booties!

      So many folks here need to find a better way to relate to this team else they’ll just keep having a bad time.

    Acquiring other assets to properly and quickly rebuild around scottie is also extremely important. You dont want to be starting a rebuild in scotties 5th year praying he doesnt ask out.

    If you care about Scottie and Grady’s growth, you should care about having assets to put around them. Assets which we have been pissing away…

      We’d have more if we didn’t trade for Poeltl, tanked last year for Wemby and traded atleast Siakam (maybe OG too).

      I care, but not that much. We have enough talent and picks to package when Scottie and Gradey are ready to take the next leap.

    I would not say that’s the only important thing

    I think if they trade siakam it will allow Scottie to be the focus. The return for siakam is important. The development of gradey is important too. And Darko 1st yr. These are the things I’m watching for. Koloko too. Not necessarily important but I wanna see OPJ play. That’s weird to me.
