Sorry but I just do not see Oni 's potential. I want him to be a role player but I just do not see it. Niang is just not my cup of tea. I think Jazz nation over rate him. Shaq has done nothing to warrant signing him. I like Udoka but he is a project but I think he has potential. I wish Hughes would have been available because he is a shot creator.

Hughes has a bum ankle but that effort and results by the pine riders was very poor.
 
Y’all: just relax about the scrubs. They aren’t ever gonna play regular minutes unless we have a catastrophe. And if that comes to pass then it doesn’t really matter anyways, now does it?

Garbage time is garbage time. But these guys have gotten smoked literally every single time they've taken the floor. Hate to say it, but these guys legitimately suck. There's no way around it.

They suck as a unit doesn't mean they suck individually. For the most part their all low usage guys who can play defense and move the ball, occasionally hitting the open three. When they're all playing together there being asked to create for themselves leading to more contested shots and running into traffic, which in turn is affecting their defense as they're over helping. Oni and Morgan have already proven to be much more effective NBA players when a part of the regular rotation, same applies to Niang who with a more collapsed defense struggled to get his shot off cleanly.

Shaq Harrison btw is absolutely clueless when it comes to running an offense. Probably not much of a surprise that they looked better in preseason when NWG was running the third unit combined with Hughes who is the only player amongst the scrubs capable of creating for himself.

I get what you're saying. All of these players are theoretically role players and when you put 5 of then together it's not really lineup. But they are getting smoked to an unfathomable degree. After tonight it's about -50 in less than 40 minutes. When you're getting crushed that bad against other garbage time units...chances are you just stink. It's not like their opposition is a well oiled machine.
