For a guy who just joined the team he sure is playing well as a PG.

talking about ISH

He plays well in transition

A little trigger happy and ball dominant in the half court set, but he hasn't had the chance to build up familiarity with the team

Huh. Sucks for him, but he really wasn't doing much for us.

I wonder if there is a guy on the street with a little bit of size for a PG they can bring in.

I wish it meant that Cole was close to coming back but that isn't the case I'm sure.

It feels like this will be a next man up for a few weeks until we get settled injury wise

new coach
new system

Maybe this mean Q-Pon or Cole are closer to a return sooner than expected. Or maybe since Babbitt is likely to play Saturday this could mean more Gee at the 2 with Ish and Babbitt plays the 3 - still shorthanded but have more length to guard the perimeter.

Yeah, Nate has been terrible and he drags the team down with him, on both sides of the ball. It's all about his poor fit here. Just think how bad things would be if we hadn't picked up Ish

Still leaves us with only two PGs, right?

Jrue on a minutes restriction and Ish. What if one of them gets in foul trouble?

I think they are bringing in someone else as insurance.

I like the "in talks to TRY to re-sign" thing on Toney Douglas. How hard would we have to try?

Want an NBA contract? Yes. Ok cool. Sign up then.

Douglas wouldn't be a bad get. He's familiar with everyone, at least. He's got some size that will help on the defensive end. I like the move.

Yeah, Douglas was competent in small doses last year. At least he can play some defense, which they need desperately at the PG spot.

If Luke is coming back Saturday and they bring in Douglas then who gets booted to IR?
