Coaching matters. That game vs the Pelicans would’ve been lost with Silas at the helm. I don’t mean to pile on him cause he’s a nice genuine guy, but coaching wise, he stymied the hell out of several players.
I had them picked for a play in team at worst... all my buddies thought I was delusional their earing crow now lol. Turk Nowitzkki was my pick for MIP before the season but he's looking like he's going to exceed that expectation and may make the all star team. I'm envisioning all star for sure now if he keeps up his play. Jalen needs to get better, he's been all over the place and looks lost and confused his confidence is non existent only his defense has inproved i feel like hes regressed sonce coming into the leaugue... his shooting is terrible. I'd take Jaden ivey for him straight up right now if I'm being honest maybe we could snag Wiseman as a backup big in a package which we definitely need. Jock landale is not gonna cut it. The rockets are Turkish delights team now. Jalens gonna want a max extension and he's just not worth it imo he and ivey are pretty similar in stats ivey is better off the ball and has longer before he is upnfor an extension and shoots about 10% better from the field. Detroit is such a mess they may go for it lol.
