Ingram is the help for Zion. They need to get on the court together.

Zion will be great but the NBA is a league ran by perimeter players. Zion is doing most of his damage in the interior.

Having someone who can create their own shot at an efficient level in a half court setting, and can catch & shoot 3’s is very valuable, it’ll take a lot of pressure off Zion and give him proper spacing.

Idk what you’re seeing that makes you think Ingram should be a 6th man, he’s already a better scoring option than Holiday. If you wanna argue that Holiday is still a better player cuz of the perimeter D then be my guest, but he probably won’t be for long. If the Pels are serious about this youth rebuild they should be seeing what they can get for Jrue while his value is still high :yeshrug:

A lineup of Zo, Jrue, Zion, Favors, and Hayes isn’t doing shyt in the West breh :mjlol:

OK so who gonna come off the bench and help out when all these options need to sit?:ohhh:


Also Ball is already there as help for Zion, don’t give up on him yet

The West is about as open as its ever been and these cats are young, they will be here longer than the current guys out here doing it

:gucci: fukk outta this thread. Haynes ain’t giving nobody nothing on offense or defense tbh. And lonzo and jrue shooting hurts us
He is like the only player with a net positive on the team and killing it with screen assist. On the defensive side, he's the only big to keep paint clean for 10 15 minutes while our 4 Guard lineup hemorrhage points in the paint.

I believe NAW will develop into a scoring threat off the bench, of course some of the starters minutes will be split with second unit guys.

I’m not giving up on Zo, I got love for him but breh gotta be on the court. Having arguably your best scorer come off the bench and running that starting 5 you proposed would suck.

The spacing on that starting 5 is trash

I got faith in NAW. He just hit that rookie wall hard and it happens. Young hit that rookie wall hard for the 1st few months last year, before the game slowed down for him.

I hope NAW doesn't get benched indefinitely. He needs those minutes just like Hayes needs his. Especially, if Gentry is gonna keep losing winnable games. Rookies are the priority.

he a rookie and he damn near 7 feet tall and you can’t teach that:wow:

Damn man, let this young boy get in the game and get some experience.:picard:

he was drafted at the EIGHTH spot for a reason and it wasn’t to ride the bench:hhh:
Understandable. We sick of losing and trying to win now. He doesn’t need to be starting no time soon

If it can get us some pieces to bring around Zion and help overall this team be successful why not?

Better players who put up better stats and have better games been criticized for not getting victories. He can’t be treated any more special:usure:

I want to see this team great again!
Son straight up trolling now

He can’t play defense on damn near anybody. He’s way to small and easy to push around. If he was a regular starter it would get bad for him at the moment. Plus outside of dunking he has no skill set on offense.

he needs to get 10 minutes per game at best. But if favors can’t stay healthy we gonna be fukked

NAW is gonna be fine, his game is nice. That rookie wall is real, but Gentry apparently doesn’t know what the fukk he’s doing out there so their growth is gonna be limited to his system

There is only like a dozen centers that can bully him atm. The league is smaller than you think. He's a great small ball 5. If Favor getting a flat 30. Hayes needs to get the other 18 minutes.

He's been fine. My biggest problem is the offense doesn't want to feature him and just use him like cog on the wheel. Hayes gets passed on a ton of open looks and don't use the pick and roll enough with him.

My biggest problem is that team can't properly use his vertical spacing well enough. Hayes has a smooth atroke, but they don't want to use him.

False. Mason plumlee has him with 3 fouls in 3 minutes just banging. Nobody is gonna feature a player with Terrible iq who still learning to play the game.

I get it. You're tired of losing, but all we are doing is losing, anyway. I know he had rough 3 stretch of games avging 5 fouls. Even if some of those fouls are Rookie Big Checks by the refs. He struggled against higher quality opponents

Hayes just had a stretch of only 5 fouls over the stretch of 67 minutes. Be patient. Just like you said, he is learning to play and from that 6-12 record. We aren't trying to win games. You got to make rookies the priority.

We need a big body to teach the youngster and favors can't stay healthy so he's no help
A Kendrick Perkins type player would help
