Fitts is making me a believer in his 3pt shooting. Plus he might even be a bit switchable on defense.

Butler looks good, which is a huge deal because it means we can rest Conley a lot. Thought Pascall looks good and a perfect physical fit for a much needed jazz small ball lineup—if only he could hit like two of the threes he took. If he can start hitting those than he’s going to be in the league for a while. Might be a big if though.

Can't believe we are able to say this, but we are now actually quite stacked at the point guard spot.

Fitts looks better than Oni.

Udoka looks soft and lacks energy.

Oni is invisible on the offensive end.

Hughes has talent so I'm holding out hope he eventually figures it out.

Butler is promising. I like his shiftiness and creativity.

Forrest looks solid for a 3rd string guard.

If Paschall can start hitting his shots I think he could be the best backup 5 option because I have no trust in Whiteside and not a lot of hope for Udoka.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Dok looks like he can rebound well enough to be a back-up 5. If he plays limited minutes, he can probably put enough energy into his defense. He's just not a guy who can run the floor for 20+ minutes and also make contests on defense.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Oni isn't really a lock-down defender either right now.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

If Paschall can start hitting his shots I think he could be the best backup 5 option because I have no trust in Whiteside and not a lot of hope for Udoka.

If Paschall plays 5, Oneale has to be in the game on everyone of his defensive possessions. Paschall is not a good rebounder.

Wouldn't be surprised to hear the announcement of us waiving Oni tomorrow, or on any day in this coming week before the season starts. Just like NWG from last year.

Butler was +4 in a game we lost by 10.
Oni was -20.

I was honestly thinking the same thing. It's time to cut their losses with Oni.

Fitts +4 also. A good candidate that they should be looking at to take Oni's roster spot.

plus the kid needs time to find a contract from elsewhere. the sooner the better.
