Both Indiana games were problematic to me.

How much do you think you guys miss Delon Wright?

Alot he was playing well,his defense at PG is a plus ,he forces tough shots and creates turnovers,he got a good motor.

I still thnk Van Vleet is best used in waves because of his size...

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

Glad I'm not alone.

the scary thing like i said before casey would be playing pat patterson, pj tucker , cory joseph if they were still here

at least one good thing masai did ws get rid of the old deadweight and seeing what the youngins can do, minus miles raptors have no one else off the bench older than 25

This teams biggest issue is defense,Delon's defense is more valuable then Fred's offense.
I know why theyre using him with Lowry to keep Lowry off the ball and not push him early in the season...but if ur gonna use Van Vleet as a distributor moreso than a shooter i think Delon is a better option at closing games cuz he can play the same role and gives you better defense...

He aint doing nothing that Wright cant do other than the 3 balls...Delon is the better defender and thats still this teams main issue.
Last few games hes played well but theres been games earlier that small guard lineup wasnt working...

he's better than alot of backups in the nba and may be the best 3rd string pg in the league I'll take that

paying corey joseph 9 mill for what delon and wright do better for like 1.5 mill

Nah im saying hes a good pick up considering he was undrafted and he has some value but im not married to him being the back up and the small guard lineup...I think hes still best playing off Delon cuz he gives you a different look...Truthfully if you could combine his shooting ability with Delon you'd have a good back and wouldnt need 2...

Masai's done a good job at evaluating talent. He's hit on most of his draft picks and they've all developed into decent rotational pieces in 2-3 years. His only real draft misstep is taking Bruno super early. I still don't think Poeltl is anything special, but he does a good job most of the time.

I wonder how much FVV is going to get paid next summer. He's been playing very well.
