Somehow Cody and Collier aren't bad enough to hold Lauri/Sexton/Kessler back

Their volume is too low. In fact, due to their low usage they do the opposite of hold 3 of our best players back. Instead those 3 get more touches and more volume which is bad for the tank.

Missing key and Clarkson seems to equal more shots for Lauri, juzang and Sexton.
Need key and Clarkson back to soak up some volume field goal attempts. Came very close to a 3 game win streak.

Yep. Key is the recipe to a successful tank. Terrible efficiency, high TO and poor defense. Really need those on the court to lose basketball games.

Except he's been efficient since December...

And yes, he is a bad defender, but he is also being asked to do the hardest job on defense every night.
 
Id love to have Trae Young, but I just wouldnt love to pay him his next max deal. Just too much money for a guy that size who cant score efficiently without FT's. He would be nasty with Lauri/Walker.

In the last 30 days he still shot below 40% from the floor and 70% from the FT line. Come on now. We should all know who Key is by now. He would have a few good games then go back to his same old inefficient self the next games. And yes he's had tough defense assignment but that's no excuse for you to be terrible at it. The guy so far has not shown enough to be anything more than a tank commander. He's got a lot convincing to do before his next contract extension. Ideally I'd see him as more of a KPJ type bench PG, who's enjoyed some success at the clippers this year. Or he can always go pursue bigger things overseas. Kenny's been great in Shanghai the last time I checked.

Not super high volume, but yesterday they were a collective 2 for 17. Hardly hurting the tank.
