That bench is atrocious to the point it would make more sense to stagger the units until injured guys return. Those 5 bench players playing together is just ugly.

He need to look for his shot early in the game
Yeah it's better when he's more of an offensive threat. It draws even more defensive attention to him and opens up things for everyone else. He almost looks exclusively to get everybody else involved early in the game. That shyt don't look like it's gonna be a way to get the offense producing without him scoring as well.

Also those drives he attempted In the fourth quarter of the first game would come more easier and natural for him.

2 games in I will say that Ivey and Duren look like some great fukking picks, so I won't mind the growing pains off this season. My bigger worry is how long are they gonna let Casey steer this ship.
His names been linked to Lakers. Better stop before you get haunted by Russ lol. Y’all got a couple of expirings on that roster
If Russ was open to a buyout is take on that contract for the 1st Rd picks. Not a fan of his attitude being around developing talent.

Rex and Jerome both on the bench and look ready to go as the 1-2 coaches. Casey a good leader but he coaches like it’s 2003 sometimes

Russ has been universally loved on all the teams he played for beside the Lakers by the players. But yeah I don’t see role for Him without stunting Cade

Yeah, I think all the players seem to like Russ, I'm just talking about being coachable and executing on the floor. I don't think Russ is a bad guy. And like you said, he'd get in the way of Cade's development.
