We got significantly worse. Tyrese Samuel to the kid from Santa Clara is a biggg drop down. Davis didn’t start last yr and will be our best to second best player. Richmond might be the most overrated player in hall history. I’d say I’m looking forward to a breakout season from Sanders, but Dawes will play 34mpg. Shame
Agree Dawes will play a lot. While I prefer him as a spark plug off the bench with better players on roster. He will have to start and play a lot for us.
Sanders is better than most think he is but he plays very slow and with that not able to create separation to create his own shot, while Dawes can. We need that. Could be a good spot shooter/wing for us if allowed to with increased minutes.
With Richmond starting, you can’t have two slow guards on court too long (with Sanders) IMHO. As far as Richmond being overrated. In terms of production, you are probably right but he still has high level potential if he stays healthy and stays in shape.
Samuel is way better than our centers but the way Sha played Samuel last year only 20 min a game, having two serviceable centers might be a net gain.
Let say on a 1-10 scale, Samuel is a 9 and our two centers avg a 7. When you factor in Samuel a 9 and Jackson at center a 4 (avg of 6.5) last year, I can see ppl’s point that it could be a net gain
If Sha played Samuel 30 plus minutes, I would agree with you tho.
Do you think if Davis was healthy and we had legit depth at 4 and 5, that Davis would not have been the starter all year at the 3 last year? He was our leader scorer for a while and from a points per min standpoint, he was prob our best so not a typical bench player.
Yes we are worse. Not sure we are significantly worse factoring in the pieces might fit better to the way Sha likes to play.
