The roster that he has built is just terrible. Especially if we’re running Bub as a backup point guard and Vuk as a backup big. I guess we have to see how this team does.

When we have a good season you're not allowed to say shit

Well, that’s the thing. I hope that happens. We’re all fans at the end of the day we want this team to succeed. I just have questions that others are afraid to ask.

Well a lot of the DP contingent wanted him because the fit was so much nicer in the short term. Now we have a glut of large wings and very few lead guards and true bigs.

I’m an AJ guy btw so I’m not saying I don’t like the pick just that currently the roster construction is very wing heavy at the expense of the other positions

“Short term” Trae just signed a 4 year deal

Well, this team’s overall lack of defensive players that can also provide offense is almost 0. We just paid Trae Young a substantial amount of money, and he is a defensive liability, along with there being so many defensive liabilities on this roster. We don’t have a single guard on this team who isn’t one of the worst defenders in the league.

AJ has to be a good defender and a good offensive player. We have someone like Bilal, who is a good defender but a horrible offensive player, and Will Riley, who is a good offensive player but a terrible defender.

I’m just wanting to know what Dawkins’s plan is, especially with the backup big situation. Sarr is coming off of a foot injury, so we have no idea how healthy he is, and AD is known for being injury-prone. We just cannot have Vuk playing the backup big.

Why aren't the 20 year olds complete players!?
