I do have an issue with the way they draft in the late rounds. They’ve had some exceptional misses that would’ve gotten anyone else fired, but lucking into Victor has alleviated those sins. It’s hard to look at the roster when healthy and be judgmental, but it feels like it could be so much better. If they’re not going to play Sochan, at least get Bryant some minutes. I guess he’s going to the G League asap. I would prefer Vassell to go anywhere else, he has no definable basketball skill where he excels other than chucking.
I'm on the fence with Mitch. They’re 11 games in and third in the West. Not bad. There has been some worrying traits and some exceptional ones. The perimeter defense is a goddamn dumpster fire. The turnovers are shortening my life span. It doesn’t feel like they have a plan to combat the constant double teams on Victor other than having him play closer and closer to the three point line. Castle has been a revelation, however is leading the league in turnovers. Fox is starting to worry me, but it’s probably a byproduct of having him learn how to not be so ball dominant, which is also worrisome if you remember that he shared a backcourt with an all world guard and couldn’t make it work in Sacramento. Kornet has been a dream. Just a seamless fit. Tonight, I hope they learned a lot from Wednesday because that effort on the perimeter is not going to cut it.
