Same; good to know.

I've always been skeptical, but given him a chance. When I really started to recognize his deficiencies (while others cried out much sooner) was when he would just get outcoached by the Hawks/Pacers (pacers of last year). In particular, the Hawks knew everything they would run and would just let them take long jumpers at will. Wittman has come out and if guys are open, they should shoot it so we get stuck with Wall, Nene, and Beal shooting long jumpers...though Wall has improved in this aspect. And probably the best long jumper on the team is Porter, who never plays.

They actually have a few guys that can knock down 3s, but the only 3s they take are when Wall drives and penetrates to a wing in the corner. Its extremely frustrating to watch at times. I've been critical of Beal, but I hope it's just misuse by Wittman.

Possible. Wall is prettty awesome. Just not sure if you have enough young depth on the roster for sustainability. Can't go patchwork free agency every year.

Wall, Beal, Max player with Porter, Seraphin and fill in the gaps through free agency is more than enough to compete deep into the Eastern Conference at the very least.
 
Chop, this is why I've gone gaga over Kanter.

Last game was the first 20-10 game from the center position in OKC history. Thats how bad its been at center.

Is that real? That's insane.

Who starts once Adams is back?

Well, there are a few more games to go to see if this RW/Kanter thing is for real. I think they may go with Kanter. Adams is going to be a damn good center but lets face it, he is still really raw on the offensive side of the ball. Whats interesting is that you could pair Kanter (defensive shortcomings) with Ibaka (defensive stud) and on the second unit you could put Adams (future defensive Stud) with McGary (Never going to be a defensive stud). It could end up working best for the team if Kanter starts but he is going to have to continue to play well because despite what the stats say Adams is really good.
 
Unreal, smh.

JUST IN: #Bulls announce Derrick Rose has a medial meniscus tear of the right knee & needs surgery.
 
Hate to say that I had this bad feeling in my stomach months ago he was going to have another leg injury.

His agility and cutting just puts too much strain on his knees me thinks.
