Hart, Hayes, and Melli off the bench. The rest is just fodder.

Melli has no business playing in the NBA.

I agree, I thought Melli showed some promise last season and he took a big step backward this year.

I agree, but I'm not sold on Ingram yet, I think people like him because he gets a lot of points, but he gets a lot of points because he takes too many shots. He's one constant ISO/turnover machine. I'd rather see Hart start at the 3.

The young guys proved last night they can play a team game and protect the ball. Ingram accounted for 4 of our 9 turnovers

And I have no idea why Melli is still in the NBA. He has 14 points in almost 89 minutes of play. I'd day trade him, but I don't think anybody would want him.

Agreed, Lonzo will definitely be the odd man out. Hopefully Hayes can develop more on both ends while we have this group, especially with Kira and NAW, but these are the guys I really like moving forward. Kira showed flashes last night that I really liked and NAW broke the F out

Yea not sure what the guy is seeing with his Ingram rant. Ingram has a 2:1 assists to turnover ratio which is good for the amount of responsibilities he is asked of by SVG. He can be better but SVG's lack of creativity on offense and predictibility in his offensive sets is forcing Ingram into a lot of tough possessions.

You're not sold on our best player?

BI averages 5.5 assists vs 2.8 turnovers

Hart averages 1.4 Assists vs 0.9 turnovers

So even disregarding all other reasons and just sticking with your turnover logic, BI is still better than Josh Hart

Too many shots?

He shoots as much per game as Malcolm Brogdon lol. Less than guys like Vucevic and Jaylen Brown.


And his turnovers are way less than guys like Luka, Lebron, Mitchell, Brown, Beal, etc.

You are simply ignorant to what you are seeing.

This guy is saying he's not sold on Ingram when Ingram is one of 8 players who are currently averaging at least a 20/7/5 statline

He's one of 4 who have around if not better than a 2:1 ast/tov ratio as well (lebron, joker, siakam being the others)

And he should have more assists, but we can't shoot from the outside. I feel the same about Zion. He's not a great passer, but should have a couple more assists per game if the players could make the wide open 3's they are given.

Ignore the Ingram hater. Get this back on track. This is really about Kira and NAW. I was impressed by both. But NAW needs some serious run as to see if this was a fluke. He is like the anti-Zo. Low turnovers and isn’t always settling for a 3 ball. He drives the paint, can finish and has a consistent jumper. I think his 3 ball threat will help spacing.

Yea def agree—-we saw the future last night and it’s hard to go back.

Amazing just how much comfortable and guild these young guys are. I cringe everyone Lonzo shoots even if he makes it—he just doesn’t look like a natural basketball player and I’ve never understood the hype around him—even in his college days. He’s had his spurts where you’re like “hey maybe this can be a guy” but then it crashes just as fast. I once thought he could a better Ricky Rubio but at this rate Lonzo may not even be a starter in the NBA in 3 years

I mean we are gonna lose regardless. Let's just get on with the future yes I agree. Let the young cats start to gel. Then maybe we see the fruits of that next year.
