If we had a legit 5 instead of EG we'd be pretty traditional(in a sense)


Is Keeping our current rotation that bad though?

I know Tyreke is more suited for SG, but why is him playing at the 3 such a horrible deal? He has height and quickness to match with both smaller and larger 3's. While he and Gordon are both slashers to the basket, Gordon is a better outside shooter and Jrue is a legit outside shooter as well.

I honestly think that with the right coach and picking up a decent center, this team could compete pretty legitimately. The main problem is that Williams is not the coach for that team and I think his coaching has hurt Gordon as much as his injuries and attitude. Seeing Tyreke's performance to end the season should prove Monty's inability to coach the 1-3 positions.

Tyreke does not have the height to match the larger 3s. Evans was measured at 6'4". Durant was measured at 6'9". Lebron was 6'7.25" at the combine. That's just a quick taste.

ETA - All of the above are true heights (without shoes). Don't get me started. I've never seen anyone play in heels.

I'm not sure how this makes sense.
