The other two rookies and guys we want to trade.
We got off to a quick start with more emphasis on d
Julius Randle played incredibly well abs went from guy that was not liked too much as a player to franchise savior
We got good play from role players and had some chemistry
But I think the team we have seen the last 3 games represents more of a realistic view
The biggest issue I see w the team is Barrett —-I know he’s young he’s got a great mentality good game but his shooting is out right scary abd the game is based on it
Iq prob not a first rd talent physically. Mentally he’s a lottery pick
Hold tongue on Obi.
Robinson has been good consistent. Would like to see him shoot a mid range
At this stage in Barrett's career, he is clearly a rhythm player. The problem is he and Payton are such a poor fit together. Payton can't shoot and the ball sticks to him, and forces Barrett to hang at the 3pt line. So in order for Barrett to get going he's forced to spot up. If Barrett were to attack the basket early and often, and get to the free throw line a few times, I bet the shooting would come around. He needs to play his game from the inside-out and he's doing the opposite or is forced to do the opposite.
I don't see how we would want to trade them though if i'm understanding this thread correctly. The development coaches were brought in with them in mind.

Agree. Julius and Robinson are performing to expectations. Mitch needs to take another step. Add another skill to his game.
Burks was playing like a pro.
Knox has learned to play within what he is good at. Significant improvement on 3 point percentage. He definitely is a nba role player as a floor.
