he and Burks have both been affected by Rose's absence
The whole team has suffered too because of it. And lack of production from Kemba
actually let's go to the root cause which was the failure of the front office to properly address the PG position in the off season.
Signing Kemba, Rose & Fournier was a mistake. There was a whole lot of wishful thinking with those moves.
I don't have a problem with Rose & Kemba, but there should have been an effort to find another PG that could fill in, other than Burks or IQ. Heck, had they kept Payton things might be better. My favorite trash player Mudiay is still available. Langston Galloway was out there.
or they can actually give McBride a chance. 1 or 2 bad games after coming back from COVID and his chances were done for the season. Chances that he would have never got if it was not for COVID in the 1st place.

No we are just that bad at Developing, we draft players and try and change there position.
What about RJ, Mitch and Grimes development? You can't have it both ways.
RJ is not trying to be made into a PF, and he came in as a top prospect...his game is suited for every system in the NBA
Grimes is not a RISING STAR, but he has a lot of potential
Mitch is a 2nd round pick That's been avg the same numbers for 4 seasons and his game has not expand.
Some of you probably forgot but IQ shot horrible in Summer League

I agree that we should be giving McBride more time. I seem to recall thinking he was exposed a bit in one of his last games - but yea, let him play through some mistakes, it's not like the options are better with anyone on the current roster.
