Trae on the CV shelf, along with Capela, Gallo, LouW, TLC.
ATL just signed lance Stephenson, who is/was rather in the mold of Cam Reddish.
Lance surprisingly just 31.
I don't get the idea that we need better defense and should move RJB to the 2nd unit.
Mitch and 4 poor defenders is not a recipe for success.
Yes, Burks has been expending more energy on D and generating some steals, but off the ball and on screens he's often a disaster (as I've noted in many games this season).
I'd be fine seeing what we have with Kemba- Burks - RJB - Randle - Mitch
Or starting Fournier and playing him heavily 1st half and Burks heavily 2nd half, as Thibs did for a while. or Rose starting in place of Kemba.
But Mitch and 4 sub-par defenders is not gonna end well.
Knix need to start a PG, Randle as our main man, Mitch and RJB as defenders who can score and a shooter (Burks, Fournier, Grimes). And figure out how to make it work. Fournier has always deferred to Randle and passed to Julius alot, but now Randle is starting to look for Fournier. Kemba seems to be developing a connection with Mitch. RJB will have to be the glue guy. Yank Fournier when he starts tuning out, or have him come off the bench.
We already have nice bench chemistry between Rose-Taj and IQ-ObiT.
Just need to design the offense and defense to maximize the players we have and develop that elusive chemistry.
