If that's what you're talking about, then I can almost guarantee you that everyone here at least had a loved one be affected by cancer, if they haven't been affected by it themselves

He's gotta learn that this is the Internet and to shrug that shite off. And that we find weaknesses and we expose them

Another thing I've noticed with everyone on the roster:
Some of our starters aren't NBA caliber starters obviously, but like AFA can be a great guy off the bench for us when we get a Porter or whoever at the 3 to score, AFA rebounding is a great asset on a playoff team which we have the potential to become and we will be while AD is here leading the way.

Is GV Derrick rose? No. But he's a PG that has shown he can be successful in the league and can run the system enough. I think he can definitely be a serviceable starter for us, unless rivers just really puts it together and forces the issue for grevis needing to be on the bench.

People forget rivers is two years from being in highschool, and then it seems people were expecting him to come in and average 25/7. The game slowed down tremendously for him before he was unfortunately injured. He showed flashes of what made him such a big time recruit out of high school, give him an actual full off season to work after being accustomed to the NBA and he can really show out and play better than he did at the beginning of the year. To me it seemed he tried to do too much and the game was too fast for him.




Yeah, I'm done for now, I think...

Solid post

I agree with you on all of it.

AR needs to work on his FT shooting badly and his finishing. That alone will make him a 10-12 point guy off the bench.

His defense is solid as well

All very well said and I think most on here would agree. GV is right on the border of good bench player and starter but he's got some bad deficiencies that have him towards the former. The bottom line is this team needs more talent at every position except the 4. It's going to be a long rebuild so anyone that says fire Monty if we don't make the playoffs has way too high of expectations unless we get someone really talented in the off-season.

Seems you agree with most rational posters on here

Most tend to believe that Vasquez is better suited as a back up, but there are only a few rantards that want him off the team

A lot will disagree about Rivers. No one expected him to be anything special this year, but he was downright god awful at the beginning of the year. I think he'll be a decent bench player down the road though, but that remains to be seen

I've had family members pass from cancer but to say cancer is important to you is an odd word choice

if he can put it together, he's going to be a solid bench man/fringe starter in the NBA. which is good for the 10th pick. people forget about his early injury, getting forced into the starting role before he needed to be, etc. he's going to be fine. he needs to get healthy this offseason and work at the line a good bit.
