We got a too much talented upside problem brehs
How are dudes gonna get mins?
KCP is gonna be hard to get off the court. He may lead the team in mins. Dude is really consistent. Trust me I would know I’m from Detroit. KCP is probably our best shooter and defender. If Only they knew Kuz would be this good. Maybe la don’t sign him

I think if/when we start to play just a little bit of defense, the team overall will be alright. I can see this offense being able to get buckets all year, but damn we can’t stop shyt so far. Effort, communication, and chemistry on defense can go a long way.
Like the way Clarkson has started the season. Making good plays. Zo is about what I thought and hoped, rebounds great for a PG, makes good reads and passes, but is inconsistent with his shot. I think that part will come at some point, but he has the offense moving well. Kuz is legit, we got a steal with him y’all.

Lopez is perfect for the offense but damn they really need him to protect the rim and rebound bad until the rest of the team pick it up defensively.

Yeah, but he has never been good at either.

Honestly Ball just needs to push the pace more and be more aggressive.
His aggression, shot, and pick n roll defense are his only flaws right now. Shots are gonna come and go, he can't help that this season. If he can just get easy buckets, hit floaters, and hit 3's when he's open he'll EASILY drop a good 16ppg. He has to work on the ways he can score, be aggressive, and just TRY to stay with his guy on the PnR. He will be a top pg just by doing those
I think the chemistry is going to come... People just need to know their roles. I definitely think it's coming. I think Ingram is playing the wrong role. Dude should be a defensive on ball defender first and just get shots that come to him in the offense. He tries to force so much shyt on offense and it hardly works. He stops ball movement to go iso and it looks bad.
KCP brought a lot of energy. I think he's gtg.
Nance HAS to develop a 15 footer consistently so he won't be 1 dimesnional coming off screens. He's ok starting or coming off the bench
Lopez is a reliable intelligent big but he needs someone that can D up and grab boards to offset him
Kuzma honestly can be that guy imo. He needs to be starting. Ball needs someone that can play like Kuzma honestly. Tries hard on D, runs the floor, can shoot the 3, and can score in the paint, high IQ, willing passer.
I wouldn't care if Clarkson was starting. If Ingram can't turn it on, the starting lineup needs some reliable shooters and slashers. KCP kinda did that. Ball is going to take some time before he finds consistent plays that have him score when he wants. My only problem with JC is when he dribbles too much instead of making a move or moving the ball. Him and Lonzo have chemistry though. I also don't mind him being the official backup pg.
I also like Bogut for his IQ and defense as backup C. If Randle plays like that then I don't mind him coming off the bench at all.
Basically we HAVE to find matchups that work together on both starting and bench. It will come in time but it just seems like we don't really know how to use what we have. Zo is trying to figure people out you can tell and there are a lot of misreads from others when it comes to him.
This is the 3rd game where I've seen someone miss a lob to Lonzo when he was cutting to the basket backdoor... He can make those type of shots. They have to find easy ways to score
