  1. Suddenly our 3-12 record doesn’t feel so bad. A quick visit to 76ers had me realizing that the vibes could be so much worst. πŸ˜… I think all the players have been rising to the circumstances, given the injuries. It’s great to see the win.

  2. I agree … i had him higher in the Immanuel quickly … he's more like a ginobally, d-wade type of player … if they some get banes , rj, dick and another pick lets say cooper or ace .. now that'll be an exciting team πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜…

  3. If RJ continues to improve & develop his ball handling skills he may be a good option as a back up PG to quick, although he may be slightly too slow for this role. He seems to me like the perfect 6th man for this team, kind of like a Caris Levert or a Malik Monk. This would be a huge asset for our bench.

    I can envision a second unit like:

    PG: RJ
    SG: Walter
    SF: Battle
    PF: Olynyk
    C: Chomche

    This may be interesting but I Think even more appealing would be to have a real PG like Schroeder & have RJ at the 2.

    Also was hoping to get your thoughts on Shead & Mogbo. Shead seems like he is more suited to be in the g league right now as he cant shoot & is very turnover prone. Mogbo also cant shoot or dribble/handle the ball & often gets stuck with the ball like Bruno & holds onto it for too long until he can find an open man & make a pass. I really feel like not being able to shoot or dribble really serves as a detriment to any team.

  4. A good win that was sorely needed. Everyone has liked the energy of the team but if you pile on too many losses, it'll be hard to keep that up. Besides, with 67 games left, even a win rate of 25% will only have us around 20 wins. That would have been good for the third worst record last year and since spots 1 to 3 have the same odds for getting the number 1 pick (being higher up just means you won't fall as far), we'll be fine
