I love his energy and also think Leon et al. have a good read on things. He could be very good situationally.

that said, I am worried about a smaller guard when you look at the Pistons' guards, SA and OKC.

i mean he's a situational player. lets put it this way, we probably beat IND and don't collapse game 1 last year if we had him. Deuce & Brunson cannot handle backcourt pressure too well.

Kolek can’t either.

you're right but I think he has the potential to improve. sometimes i still see the rookie nerves with him.

Now that we have cap room is it Dink time? He’s not ready for prime time and could be years away but you lock him in before losing him

Deuce is out. You'll likely see Kolek and Alvarado get some minutes together to test their mix.

I’d want to add Dink but another big seems necessary. Xavier Tillman and Chris Boucher seem like possible shots with my Trey Lyles guess as another long shot.

Hope Deuce is back by playoffs. He was truly effective in that 5 man unit.

Brunson / Alvarado / Kolek
Deuce / Shamet / Clarkson
Bridges / Hart / Dadiet
OG / ________ / Diawara /
KAT / Mitch / Huk

Lyles would fit best next to Mitch. I’ve always liked Boucher and surprised he didn’t get much usage in Boston.

Huh?

Have you seen Kolek when a pressure defender picks him up full court? It’s not pretty. Check some of his possessions against Bruce Brown last game.
