Luke said he has considered it but likes his scoring off the 2nd bench, kind of also criticized him saying he is doing his own plays:pachaha:
What fukking plays? Luke disgusts me. I swear he’s derailing our franchise. He needs to be shytting on bum ass Clarkson.

I'm cool with Nance starting. He can defend and get up and down the floor with Ball. He needs to be confident in taking 6-10 jumpers a game.

I'd have the starting five be Ball, KCP, Kuzma, Nance and Lopez.

Man when Kuzma plays like ass cheeks for the first time ppl gone turn on him with the quickness. I swear it seems like everytime we get some new rookies the rookies fr the previous season gets shyt on my our fans. Once DLO got here ppl they started shytting on Randle and JC. When Ingram got here DLO got shytted on. And now with the arrival of Ball and Kuzma Ingram is getting dogged. We got some fickle ass fans :mjcry:

He seems like more of a 3 than a 4 to me. And they are not going to bench Ingram for him no matter how bad Ingram plays

Kuzma is more a 4 than a 3. That's what he played in college. I just think things will open up much more for the offense with Kuzma in the starting unit and spreading the floor. It will probably help Ingram's game as well with the added space.

I'm not even looking for Kuzma to take over or be an all-star or some shyt. But he's a legit 3pt shooter. Having the floor spaced from 1-5 will do wonders for our starting unit.

Exactly. I like Kuzma and what he's done and I think he's a steal so far but i also remember Clarkson looking like a effing beast so I'm just gonna take this as it is

I'm very patient but I'm worried about the high hopes of B. I. It seems like they're trying to rush him into being the best player when he isn't. I'd still run the offense through Brook until someone else prove they can step-up.

Looks like Ball is out again tonight. Hope he at least plays in the last preseason game to get some kind of rhythm going since he gonna b mathed up against Pat Bev on opening night.

I'll be the reactionary one and say I was wrong about Ingram. They should have traded him for Paul George. He could be a solid all around player, but he'll never be as good as George. @I AM WARHOL you were right, breh. :yeshrug:

On the plus side, last year's draft has been underwhelming so far. Seems to be a bunch of solid players, but no stars, so it wasn't a huge miss. :yeshrug:

They're doing him a major disservice trying to make him the go-to guy on this team. Just let him be a jack-of-all-trades while he continues to grow.
