| Kuz would def be better on O for us. But BI is a good deal better as a defender, a legit beneficial defender often times ------- in a lineup with very few good defenders |

with playmakers like Lebron/Rondo its going to be hard for him to get many iso opportunities |
I've been saying this. Kuzma moves well w/o the ball and fits better in the starting lineup. |
also bench KCP for J Hart |

The next time I see him fire up that awkward looking jumpshots which takes forever to releases from his shooting hand I’m gonna puke. Magic is scamming teams into trading for this guy that’s why he’s hyping BI whenever he gets the chance.
PS: actually BI is worse than Wesley Johnson, at least Johnson has above average athleticism. |
Please stop. This is embarrassing. Wesley Johnson has never even averaged double figures once for a season in his career |
He wants to be noticed but that's asking for mockery instead. That's a ridiculous take. |

This 3 point shooting is a team issue.. |
I thought he had the best looks. Those wide or mostly open corner 3's should be considered gimmies. |
Doesn't matter.. Unless you're trying to single him out of course. |
Luke's the one who singled him out lookin at the closing lineup. |
Bottom line.. Look at the box score.. Who had the best looks is irrelevant. They all shot poorly from 3 outside of Hart. And he wasn't even the worse out there. |
he missed wide open 3's. thats the bottom line |
1 for 7 from Kuz..
0-4 Bron
1-4 Ball
0-3 Lance
There's the bottom line.. |

^ bottom line for the game was that all our forwards sucked at the long ball today. Bottom line for the season... too early to tell.

| He's going to need something to differentiate him in the flow of our offense. Consistent shooting, consistent separation when he does attempt to drive or great D. He had decent D today but the rest was a mess. |

So we get a player who actually believes in his abilities and can play off the ball without needing plays run for him. He’s also a much better 3 pt shooter.

| Anybody else loving those 2 blocks, 2 steals? It's nice to finally see the stats on defense for him. There's no excuse for him not to have that impact every game with his length. |

It doesn't hurt to try and start Kuz over BI. If it doesn't work then so be it. |

I'd trade 2 corner 3s for 1 block and 1 steal. 
But yep, hoping the defensive stats continue.

Ingram thought he was Kuzma. Was out there shooting too many long jumpers.

That is a very good indicator that he can be elite on the defensive end but he needs to make his offense elite to or he will be another Prince.

| Kinda feeling some regret not trading BI for PG. Our young guys aren't ready to make that next step yet and my patience is running low. |

Other than a few forced shots in the 3rd, I loved the way Ingram played today.
He took the shots he had to take on offense without hesitation. Most of his shots were good shots.
Defensively he had an impact and you could see glimpses of shut down defense.
He needs to play more minutes when we have Kuzma at center to provide more length on the floor. |

Give Kuzma the looks Ingram got and he’ll knock them down at a much better rate. He’s a better scorer than Ingram and knows how to play off ball effectively.
