I welcome the tank and kinda don't want to risk Keldon/waste his time on this season now that White is going to be out and we do not have a capable big on the roster.

We'll draft a big in this coming draft and re-up next year.

Goal for this season is now to give Vassell a lot of burn. Nothing else of value to get out of this season. We know what we have in the other 3 young guys:

Lonnie: Can't defend and will always shy away from contact so not a reliable finisher but can get really hot from 3. Keldon needs to start busting his ass in practice if he is going to be anything but a streaky jump-shooter. Way too soft.

DJ: Can get hot on offense on occasion but not to be relied on. Will follow any really good game with a really bad game. Mostly a gambler on defense. Great rebounder for a guard but we should get back to being an intelligent team and pay a big man to rebound.

Samanic: still technically has a chance to be an NBA player but looks totally unnatural as a hooper. 70% chance he is just a guy who happens to be tall and not a basketball player.

His time is not getting wasted. He's only 21 year old so he still has a lot growing to do when it comes to getting better as a basketball player. He needs to continue play so he can improve as a basketball player even if this team is lottery bound.

Yes you're right. I was a bit hyperbolic with that part.

What do you mean by Keldon is way too soft?

I want to see Tre Jones getting reps too. My hope for him is bench point guard at best but let's see what we got.
