Kerr Kriisa's assists today

I think by January we have 9 guys who will be fairly interchangeable without noticeable drop off.

I include Chandler in that group, because I believe he is largely knocking the rust off. I think there’s a point in time where he may be the 4th or 5th option on the floor, but will be the most athletic. I suspect there will come a time where he will makes some teams pay.

I also include Almonor. Think he gives us a different look, but it isn’t a drop off really. Kind of has a Bryce Hopkins vibe to me.

I think Garrison is the one heavy rotation guy who causes some slippage. Suspect he will be hit or miss most of the year. He just isn’t as comfortable in the flow of what we’re trying to do as the other guys, imo.

I think you can also drop to Travis Perry and be fine. I just don’t think he’s on the level of the 2 guys in front of him at pg.

I also don’t think Noah kills us in a pinch, especially on the offensive end. I’ve said since the offseason that I prefer him as a stretch 4 in a small ball lineup. Think he can cause some mismatches offensively, and hurt us less defensively in that role.

Yeah, Garrison is awfully raw for sure. Really needs to work on his outside shot IMO.

I think his recognition of when to get his and when to hit the open man needs some work. But he’s working on it. And he has some good teachers.

I agree wholeheartedly with this!!!very happy with our team but I have no clue what our fans are seeing in Garrison? Extremely raw. Lots of potential but extremely limited and raw rn. I think Chandler will be a really good player for us, in the next year or 2.
Agreed. I THINK there’s more there than I initially thought. Originally had them pegged as top 25ish and 4-6 seed. Honestly thought the ceiling was just slightly higher. After watching four games, I really think the ceiling is higher. Almonor developing into a Swiss Army knife of sorts and Carr being able to handle the 5 defensively/rebounding might be key to this teams success.
 
For those giving Brandon a hard time, remember we become even more dangerous, if he can make some strides offensively. He is only going to gain the confidence through repetition and practice. As long as we are comfortably ahead, I say let him work on his post moves. You notice, on most of these occasions no one is collapsing on him because they fear the 3 point shooters. So, give him some space to perfect his moves. Let’s just hope he learns that when they do start collapsing on him he finds the open man.
