It's legitimate. THt sets up Lauri better than anyone on the team. With Keyonte starting we got a more passive backcourt that left JC dominante the shots taken.

1. I stated as well THT is great creating pick and pop threes for Lauri. THT has a big *** and good timing on those and it helps!

BUT

2. We also had less bigs in the starting five. This lead to fewer good screens for Lauri to take advantage in the perimeter
3. JC had it going and it made sense to let him cook a bit. The combination of both Walker and THT will not work in the offense bc it hurts the spacing so much. If I have to choose I will start walker nine times out of ten from those two. Numbers of reasons for it and not the least is the future is in ouir rookie guard and also might be in Walker. We just have to develop them as much we can and forget do we win or lose.

It took the Pacers an embarrassing amount of time to realize that we have no answer whatsoever when they feed Turner inside.

Ya we look really small now that Kessler is out. Which is weird cause collins, KO, and Lauri are all quite tall.......... with alligator arms who play like they are 5 inches smaller. We will miss having any kind of rim protection whatsoever. Pacers aren't even much of an inside big man threat either. Some other teams will feast inside.
 
No team is going to trade a player to Danny boy unless he gives them a fortune, looks like he tried to deal on a couple players Herro n Holiday but no go so then we tank for a top pick if teams dont want to deal with Danny fairly anymore
 
If my memory serves me right, Don was like 30 usg and 45% TS in his first 10-15 games. But it didn’t matter, because his talent was obvious. I’m not saying Keyonte is Don, but he’s got to be more than a 15% usg guy on the court. I want him to have the Hawkins green light. Who cares if he goes 4-21 he’s capable of going 15-21.

Was on the Pacers feed when Ochai blocked the transition layup. Indiana announcer was cackling about how it’s an obvious “hack” and he put him in the stands… said it was ridiculous to challenge… then of course got real quiet when it was changed.

Lol that was hilarious. He got quiet then mumbled something about body contact.

It will come… I’m actually impressed with his discipline. It’s not like Dante where he really couldn’t create anything… he’s choosing to play well within himself. I’m fine coaxing the shooting out of him…especially with our guards.
 
I think that starting lineup has some potential and played pretty well overall. One of our problems with not starting THT or Sexton is that they end up playing together in the second unit.
