The primary backup for Trae is DM who is a vet. Â Only injury risk makes me even a little concerned about that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurpilo Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Well breakout candidate is clearly AJ and I think chances are good he make a leap this year. JJ might be but I think is less likely, shooting is a problem. Bufkin and Gueye... I prefer to take a look at them before any judgment but I think is less likely than JJ. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my prediction today as well. If JJ earns the starting role that is great, though, because I think we have a good idea what to expect from Bey and it was excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 4 despite his weight. If I have to bet, Martin doesn't stick (just my gut), Vit ends up traded one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_dirt Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 Bey will start at the beginning of the season, JJ will be the starter by the end of the season. Gueye will be College Park/DNP/Break glass in case of emergency (same for Bufkin & Matthews). Ten man rotation with two per position is solid, though not title contenders. 47 win territory, with the six win bump largely due to Quin over Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe eventually, but based on what the coaching staff is asking him to do right now in practice......it's wing play; On 7/6/2023 at 9:49 AM, JayBirdHawk said: MoG's interview after practice yesterday was interesting, they want him to: Be on the Perimeter Guard up to the 3 (vs 4/5) and handle the ball Be a wing guy vs a big man It's a new role for him since he was a 4/5 in college.

gurpilo Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I donât think Bey is a PF, I donât think he can match big PF, he is undersized. Same for Griffin playing SF, he is a SG. They are fine playing SG and SF but moving them to SF and PF is a bad idea on an already undersized team. I think they want Gueye to play on the perimeter to develop him as stretch 4, he is not SF.

He's fine at the 4 and with big wings on D compared to 2 and 3 but he's not good on defense period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted July 9, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 9, 2023  Well, you have Gueye.. he has a lot of opportunity and a very good skillset.  You also have AJ. It's no problem with standing pat.  1 hour ago, gurpilo said: I donât think Bey is a PF, I donât think he can match big PF, he is undersized.

Hunter can be PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
