Naw, NAW sucks too. Play Hayes and lets bring this tank home.

It's an 82 game season...I'm sure we will see all kinds of lineups before the season ends.

Some lineups where a couple of our best players in Favors and Redick not sitting out the last 18 minutes would be super.

Well one is a rookie and the other is the veteran leader who is a borderline all star lol

JJ an Favors both played huge roles on legit playoff teams last year and they can’t even see the floor in the 4th

All Gentry, it's inexcusable.

Because teams leave Ball wide open.
If Redick had 12 attempts he would be 10 of 12.

Teams force Ball to shoot. How hard is this to recognise?

If NAW has superstar level BBall IQ, he should be shadowing the frick out of Lonzo and his passing. Because I think Lonzo is probably the odd man out if someone can step up at this point. But we he has that no one else does is elite facilitation skills.

I don’t know why I get caught up in this. Until Gentry is gone we won’t win shite. There’s plenty enough talent on this team.

He was out there averaging 18 a game on a team last season that is much better than ours, so I'm not buying that as a legit reason he can't see the court for the last 1.5 quarters of the game.

They need to get NAW off of the ball and get him open looks. Gentry is setting him up to fail by trying to make him be the creator for the second unit when he struggled in that role at VT. Let Lonzo run the second unit and put NAW in a role he's comfortable in.

And I said this after the first game, but going extended minutes without Jrue or Ingram on the floor is pretty stupid.

So who’s playing PG with the first unit? Don’t say Jrue

Team was plus 7 with him on the floor. NAW had six assists in 14 minutes. He did not hurt the team tonight.

Literally the whole team is arse at defense besides Jrue. Might as well put him in for some quick threes when you are down a couple of scores. Stupid arse Gentry at it again

Also, Redick played a total of only 7 minutes in the 2nd and 4th quarter. We gave up 73 points in the 2nd and 4th, so let's not pretend the defense was just fine when he wasn't in there.

NAW has struggled shooting so far, but outside of late shot clock situations, he's gotten mostly good looks. At least he's being aggressive. Jrue looks like he wants nothing to do with the basketball on the offensive end. Mind-boggling stuff after all the offseason hype

He’s certainly not excelling at SG.

Start Ball/Jrue/Ingram

Early sub JJ for Ball gets you Jrue/JJ/Ingram

Then sub Ball back in with the second unit

Shoot, let NAW bring the ball up with Jrue for stretches as long as he isn't on the floor with just Frank, Kenrich, and Hart. There's way too much talent not to stagger.
