Theo *should* be the odd man out but he’s the only 3rd string PG we have and he’s a team favorite. Musa has too much upside and is still essentially a rookie. Kurucs also has upside and at least has proven he can be an effective player at this level. Shump has surpassed my expectations and is a big reason for the improved defense.

Maybe Chandler gets cut :ohhh:

Thought of that scenario too.. Even Nwaba does has done his thing in limited minutes... Tough one for Sean

Pinson gotta go. He has no upside. Once Kyrie and Levert are back he’s not needed. I rather Musa temple Shump or nwaba run the point. Pinson is 24yrs old.

Great win though. I have high hopes for Chandler with the bench unit.

I still have hopes that something shakes loose around trade deadline. Might be able to pick up a quality PF for a player and pick. I see some teams are already thinking of blowing it up.

Musa is still young and i believe the only reason hes not getting g league reps is because of the back court injuries. Hes still so young like Kurucs
I get that he's young but what has she shown that makes you think he'll develop into a great player? I think he will always be a below average defender which is fine but I think he has to make up for it with his offense. He has shown flashes of being a decent shooter (36 percent in the g league) but he lacks the athleticism to get by people and get to the rim. His decision making is all time bad but that is one part of his game that he can develop. His best case scenario to me is a guy that's a decent supporting bench player in spurts. Thats a long time to develop someone for very little return. Also he thinks he's Kobe Bryant but he's not. Zach Lowe wrote about it in his recent article how he has the highest ambition to talent ratio in the league and how it affects his shot selection. Zach Lowe ribs Dzanan Musa about his ‘ambition’

Kurucs has much better upside in terms of length athleticism/first step and defending.

They both have faults and yes Rodi showed much more last year than Musa is showing this year.. Musa, He just needs to be reigned in a bit and take the game one speed slower...I dont think he can be a great player but a good one? Yeah...I just wouldn't give up on either one of them so early..Especially for a season thats not even championship or bust.. Trading either one of them for a pick to draft another project doesn't make sense to me.

Thats fair. I'm just saying if we did have to get rid of one I'd prefer it be Musa over Kurucs

There needs to be one of Prince/Harris and one of Dinwiddie/Temple on the floor at ALL times.

Coming out with a Pinson Musa Shump Nwaba lineup is dumb as shyt and just asking to get put in deep holes
