OK......MALIK MONK AT PG

Monk is not a PG!!! HE DOESN'T HAVE THE HANDLES OR THE MIND SET TO RUN A OFFENSE..

Plain and simple he is a scorer.. His only success in this league will be a Lou Williams, Jamal Crawford or if he ever learns to play defense Avery Bradley..

He isn't a pg get over it Clifford was wrong to even put him there..

He's a scorer playing the wrong position for his body type. If he's in the NBA and can't play both guard positions he shouldn't be there. Having him on the floor full time would undoubtedly help his game to the next level but he's not an NBA 2. This guy would benefit from the position switch not having to struggle defensively trying to guard 6'6" NBA 2 guards.

Rozier is as much as done, consolation no doubt , but I'd just run my young guys. Save that money because Rozier isn't that move that's gonna change a damn thing.

You'll get what you want though because nobody over there is thinking out of the box anyways.

Yeah, this has been said here plenty. It is possible that he eventually carves out a role but right now he does not look like an NBA caliber player. 

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter of he plays PG or Rozier, we will still be a bottom 4 team in the NBA, so essentially it doesn't matter. But it is extremely unlikely that Monk would "take his game to the next level." We aren't out anything for trying but he does not even remotely look capable of being an NBA PG.

I'm sorry but all you are saying is his body type.. But I've name 3 players who have made a career not being PG with that body type.. He in reality which the team must have already figured out is a off the bench scorer .  He will never be a starter in my opinion.. He doesn't have the defense or bulk to be a Starting 2guard and he doesn't have the skillsets to be a PG.. So he might have to be a Jamal Crawford,  Jj Redick, or Lou Williams.. Instant offense off the bench..

That's up to coach as far as position/strategy. If coach says so that's what it is. I'd tell him he had to do it or sit on the bench. As bad as we need scoring you'd almost as a coach have to tell him to step in. 

He is by far capable but is he willing? Again, that shouldn't matter to the right coach. He hasn't proven anything as a player aside from being able to light it up in stretches. Totally a coach's job to get in his head.

The foolish Rozier deal makes this a mute point but this is a team that is struggling to get anything out of their investments. To me it's more important to play Monk and Graham and prioritize developing guys you drafted instead of getting another overpaid backup.

    • I find it more like now that I have been forced to watch Young so much it isn’t as much of a shock to my senses.   Desensitized they call it.   For real, it just looks normal almost now. Where the first game of 2023 I wasn’t sure what I was looking at it was so out of bounds for NFL type play. I literally couldn’t make sense of what I had seen vs Atlanta that first week. 
    • Lynch in SF. Great is subjective but he has done pretty well there. 
    • Sure, except Stroud has the ability to stretch the field with deep passes. He did that often last night with ease, but couldn’t connect on many due to being flustered by the defense. BY9 gets flustered and can’t throw screens, let alone even think about any deeper passes. Stroud would’ve changed the franchise and done more with the situation last year. My thought at least.    the hope is that last year showed tepper that he needed to step back from football decisions. There’s a positive in most situations and maybe we’ll see a new tepper in the near future.
