The 3 defeats vs Pacers, OKC and Hornets were really stupid...It would be very probably 3 wins with Hernangomez.

It's a top 10 pick. Nobody draws a line at 7 on whether you have a top pick

We win that game if SVG remembers that's Zion is on the team. He basically admitted that he cost them by waiting to put Zion in.

Jaxson ain’t seeing the floor anytime soon. Anyone knighting for him shouldn’t hold their breath.

Lol. Y’all reaching on the semantics huh. Top 10 pick. You expect production there. We’ve gotten NONE.

Either way, it was a stupid pick at the time and it looks worse by the day for what he passed up on.

I love JJ but I wish we would trade him so we could run younger guy rotations.

Kira
NAW
Hart

The same reason Frank Jackson was playing over Moore.

Front office wants to see their players and evaluate them.

As you saw with the slam at the end of the game, Hayes can be a devastating roll man. The problem this year was that we had no Jrue Holiday, who excelled as a P&R initiator. Lonzo and Bledsoe cannot run P&R and get the ball to Jaxson for those kinds of dunks. (Again, as you saw at the end of the game, NAW can, but NAW wasn't playing at all early in the season.)

The other big reason for Jaxson's offensive success last year was our pace, as he's a great finisher in transition. Well, now Gentryball is gone. Early in the season, we were playing at an exceptionally slow pace, and that also limited Jaxson's usefulness.

So, a lot of the reason that it's looked like Jaxson has regressed is scheme. I actually think that playing him with NAW and Kira and Hart would work well, but Hernangomez is just a better fit with most of our lineups.

In SVG's defense, figuring out how players fit together takes time.

In the tiny amount of time he played last night, he had one great PnR dunk, and one play where he got sucked out to almost half court before running helplessly back to try and find his man under the goal

Guy has alot of physical talent but the x's and o's are taking a long time to click for him
