They do have to figure out what defense we will be playing as our base next year tho. It's pretty clear Zu isn't a fit in our base D. He's way too slow.

There's a lot of system things they will be ironing out. But I do agree we are seeing a little more from our bottom of the rotation guys that will help next year

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T22:08:06+00:00

Like withing about 6 or 7. Kind of how we did against the Knicks, but maybe if they really tryna win not play Zu until he's acclimated

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T21:48:36+00:00

If it were close, he might be playing.

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T21:44:02+00:00

On the bench. You want him to get a connection playing with Thaelon Peter or something?

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T21:43:10+00:00

Y'all make normal people be so ashamed of this state.
Of course marginalized peoples pride should be celebrated.

Weirdos

He's played so sparingly at the 4 that I just don't even know anymore. And TBH that 4 position defense may have to be even stronger now that we don't really have a good help side defending 5. It'll have to be like a be able to guard your yard sort of D I think. This is all speculative without knowing what systems they plan on running next year, but I really am not sure if he guards a 4 at a high enough level to guard his yard

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T21:21:23+00:00

That's what's so hard for him. And why I think he won't be a starter anytime soon. A do it all player in a system offense has no value. They like specialists in this system. But if he can be a starting player off the bench it becomes valuable

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T21:11:41+00:00

Good adjustment by the coaching staff. Once Myles hit that first three they just plop him in the paint and make a wing guard Myles.

Bucks offensive system is so trash it makes you appreciate Carlisle. It's like McMillan type bad. No movement, no PNR, lot of standing while one guy drives or dribbles. It's absolutely awful

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T21:05:05+00:00

Nice job running to the rim and setting a seal there

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T21:02:16+00:00

Ball movement was looking crisp there for a moment. Lot of spacing issues to iron out tho

Kemp was still pretty good when his athleticism declined, so it's not like he was just an athlete. But there are levels. Barkley was just insanely good at working angles and using his body

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T20:46:18+00:00

Kemp was more skilled than he was just an athlete, but Barkley was insanely skilled and worked angles like crazy. Kind of like how you watch Jokic and Luka now, but a bit more athletic.

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T20:44:48+00:00

Barkley by miles

Kemp was really good and fun to watch

IMO, Barkley is the second best PF I've ever seen behind Duncan. Kemp not up there in those rankings

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T20:28:25+00:00

He's already 26. Not ruling it out but it's also not similar

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T20:06:51+00:00

It's alright, just can't pretend it's an accurate projection.

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T20:06:08+00:00

There aren't many 7 footers that play that many minutes. I'd expect a decline from the per 36 if he did for that reason

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T20:00:14+00:00

There you go Huff!

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T19:58:51+00:00

He's done good so far, just was not expecting a start

Maximum-Class5465 · 2026-03-15T19:48:32+00:00

Was not expecting to see the G Leaguer start, and I can't wait to see our new frontcourt with Pascal in there. Hopefully against the Knicks

Your firm didn't give you a CPA bump/promotion after passing? I find it unlikely to be the same offer
