    He shoots 38% on all catch and shoot threes (35% from downtown overall) Plus he's ALL NBA on defense. Take that for data.

    Brooks' problem is that nearly 40% of his shots come from between 3 feet from the rim and the 3 point line, where he shoots an abominable 34% from mid-range and 41% in the paint (non-restricted area)

    If he takes a shot from 10 feet I want him benched instantly.

    These are the only guys I feel pretty good about for getting time.

    FVV
    Jalen / KPJ
    Brooks / Tari
    Jabari
    Sengun / Landale

    Even this could be somewhat in flux, as I could see KPJ beating out Jalen, and Tari beating out Jabari for the starting spots.

    Don’t think Amen will be given anything. If he can’t go, they will just alternate between FVV and Sengun running the show.

    Whitmore probably starts out in G League.

    Green is there for emotional support and to collect checks.

    Tate will continue to be called a “value contract” from the end of the bench.

    there's still might be an incoming vet that would start over Jabari/Sengun

    That's nice. I would like to see more movement too. I just think right now he can be exposed as a limited player moreso then Dillon Brooks from a offensive standpoint. Especially when defense ramps up in a playoff situation. I hope KJM gets to at least Aaron Gordon level which he should but thanks to the trade it won't benefit us.

    I am very excited. I look forward to having Ime running an efficient organization like Pop and having creativity on offense and less endless dribbling sessions with hero 3-point shots and just basically more intention on offense and defense. I don't believe we had that with Van Gundy, Adelman or D'antoni - there was a lot of free-for-all YMCA ball with those three. I am looking forward to more order and structure with Ime and with players staying in their lane - true team ball. I think this is why Ime didn't want Harden back in Houston.

    Defense and our bench is going to be our saving grace this season. Amen and FVV at the top of our defense, Dillion and Chet on the perimeter and Brook Lopez protecting and cleaning everything around the basket….a top 10 defense….wait we do not have a defensive center. …we need Myles Turner at the trade deadline.

    Excellent data. Many would weight Brooks elite defensive skills very heavily in their math, I guess...

    Yeah but I doubt Ime would grant him major touches, he would use him like a playmaking PJ Tucker.

    I see Dillon Brooks and Tate overlapping........Dillon is crazy, Tate is the hard working citizen.
