Subtle Change




First it was AA getting too many minutes off the bench has a marginal defender and a terrible offensive player.

Then Salmons. Oh the pain. If he didn't hit his shots the first 12 games he was here his stats would be awful but Casey felt he had to stick with him.

Both those guys are marginal defenders and terrible, over used offensive players. In my mind they are replaced by Lou and JJ. Lou and can score and JJ can really defend. It's not just ability but it's about fit. Casey should never have a high usage O player/marginal defender on his roster while Demar is his all star and gets the most shots. But JJ……..fits Casey's system. Lou with JJ fits.

Advanced metrics would show Masai is building a team that is well rounded…I like that. TH may even get to play a lot of garbage minutes this year and hold down the fort. What team has a better four Guard lineup? No one.

Kyle, Demar, Lou and GV.

And four a five to six deep bigs…...

Jonas, Amir, PP. Tyler, Greg, Chuck

3and D = TR

A defensive stopper at the three….JJ

A unstoppable scorer at the three……….Bruno or KD……..=long way to go. But all the other pieces are in place IMO
