Article discussing a major problem we have

Talks about how no one really respects our starting perimeter guards and why we can't adjust. I felt this way after the first few games. Main reason i feel our future depends on getting Stephen Curry to come home and replace Kemba. Either that or were going to have to get lucky and find a draft gem

Kind of reminds me of the Raptors last season. They got better after they traded Rudy Gay.

What's discouraging is that this team should be much better offensively than last season, and you caught a glimpse of what could happen if everything went well in the first half of the Portland game.

Cho knew what that article pointed out would be an issue and brought in Marvin Williams to space the floor but he's even less of a scoring threat than MKG.

IMO the bench is more of an issue than the starters as is the lack of creativity. Brian Roberts, for all his efficiency scoring, doesn't take care of the ball and is a worse version of Kemba. I don't have to explain Maxiell's issues. Not absolving the starters here but an upgrade at backup PG and C would do wonders.

Also, we have a big decision to make regarding Al. The scoring strength of these starters lies in their ability to drive the ball, not spot up shooting. The problem is Al needs the paint in order to score. Otherwise with he's defense he becomes a major negative out on the court.

It's early and this schedule isn't conducive to trying to ease your way into establishing chemistry but I think we will see a much better result once they come back East off this gauntlet of a schedule they have right now.

I think time will heal all. We have new players that need to develop chemistry together, we need to figure out the right starting line up and rotations. I wouldn't mind a trade but what would we give up? We don't have a lot of depth at forward/ center and I don't think anyone wants Henderson. That leaves draft picks.

If you can't shoot well, you have to pass well and get easy buckets. We don't pass or shoot well and that is concerning.

Like cbarrier90 said we need a backup PG and C badly. I didn't like the Roberts signing when it first happened and now that I am seeing him play I dislike it even more. He does a terrible job protecting the ball and isn't knocking down the deep balls like people saw him do in NO. I really wish we would have tried to sign a vet like Jameer Nelson.

 

Center isn't as big of an issue I blame that more on Clifford. Biz seemed to be developing some what and he already was a solid rim protector which our second unit is painfully missing. Maxiell doesn't even average 2 rpg or a blocked shot as a backup C getting 12 to 16 min per game. Every time Maxiell enters the game we get torn apart in the paint and rely on Cody to rebound and play the rim protector. I just don't understand Clifford's logic.

The back up unit has nothing to do with the poor shooting of our starting rotation. You could easily say that our bench unit are better shooters than the starters

Roberts def isnt starter material but is a def upgrade over Ridnour.

I wanted jameer but he's been hot garbage this year.

As far as Roberts, his ball security isn't greatbut his assist to turnover numbers are the same as the starter.

Regardless, Roberts isn't a good passer on a team of players that aren't good passers.

Kemba

Who was that guy on here last weeks calling for Roberts to be the starter? That's was some funny poo.

good article.  But to win we need more PJ and Neal
