Not a hater, just need to realize our team building shouldn't really factor Walker in all that much. The best version of this team might be with a more dynamic center. Every season the league gets harder for players in the Walker archetype.

Also I don't think Walker is nearly as good or has any potential to get close to how good peak Rudy was a perimeter defense on switches.

Walker is redeemable, he will be a player in this league for a long time even if he's not Rudy. Ochai on the other hand? He's Miye Oni with more muscles.

People who feel much differently about him now vs last year are being too reactionary in my opinion.

Im reactionary then. Im seeing more zubac than gobert at this point. Which isn't a horrible outcome but not what I was thinking last season

His issues this year seem mental. He needs to touch a booby. R-E-L-A-X

Remember that year Gordon missed a lot of shots and was constantly down on himself... that's what Walker is kind of reminding me of right now.

Mental how? What could he be doing better if his head was in it? He just doesn't seem to fit into the modern league very well. So I really don't see the comparison to a slump shooting Hayward who was dealing with contract stuff, becoming the #1 guy on the team, etc.

He just bottlenecks what you can do when he is on the court from what I can tell. Honestly Lauri just seems more like the center to me when he's in. And Lauri and KO just make way more sense together, and I don't even like KO.

An awful backcourt is doing Kessler no favors, I grant you. And I can see a version of a lineup with Lauri at the 4 and Kessler at the 5 being good, but Collins cannot be part of that group. And Hardy's lineups so far do not suggest that he is interested in anything like what I'm talking about.

Key
THT
Ochai
Lauri
Kessler

Is the type lineup I'd like to see. But I guess I'm more interested in seeing what kind of players we have and how they fit than winning games. Wonder if Hardy will pivot a bit more to that side of things if we continue to lose. At least change the starting lineup, I really hate it. Bring Kessler off the bench if you really want to start Collins.

Rudy also tried some stuff.

When Walker has tried stuff he has embarrassed himself. In the preseason he attempted some post fadeaway that was as ugly if not uglier than any jumper I've seen Rudy attempt. Last game he had some weird post pass to absolutely no one.

True but how much was rudy trying in his second year.
Comparing rudy who has been in the league a long long time to kessler who has played 1 year is a pretty sweet compliment to kessler imo. Rudy as a rookie aint do ****.

Ouch
 
Actually shocked this many people voted Zubac level. Thought the optimism would still be on 30 mpg starter
