He's a loose cannon. If Wade would get him under control he would be a much greater asset to our team.

Team just isn't very good. I knew when Days decided to come back, that it'd be a season of him taking 3's and hurting the team. Our leader Pinson was bad at the end as was the rest of the team.

Watching this team try to score points is akin to watching a Les Miles offense.

Kid was a late bloomer in high school. He will improve. I love his defensive intensity.

He's both which was on full display this past game.

He made several great defensive plays that led directly to points but also brain fart plays like the one that drew the tech which whether you think deserved a tech or not was a really poor decision.

Right now he's good with the bad. He's been more good this year imo but he's a guard off the bench right now. He just needs to keep growing as a player.


But yes yesterday he was bad.

It was a stupid decision and I would have benched him at that point and chewed his arse out. That is unacceptable. Wasn't in the heat of a possession. And =Wade complaining to the ref about the call instead of reaming Gaines to make sure everyone else gets the message is a bad precedent. Do not agree with him on that. And no I don't want him fired.

This! The talent is there but it’s between the ears IMO that he needs to get better.

Not sure his role other than minimal time as PG. his shooting and finishing at rim is terrible for SG. Yes he gets some steals but his net good plays are probably negative if someone tracked them. He was needed but certainly is not the answer moving forward unless shooting improves immensely.

I agree, but i think you can do both. Question the specific call (tech) and get on Gaines for a poor decision. Now maybe he did get on Gaines eventually, I don't know....but if he did not I agree - not a good precedent.
