Ok BTO - let’s talk the small lineup

Nkamhoua did block 2 shots, Aidoo & Plav combined for 1…once again I never said either of those guys can’t play, just that you’ll likely see more lineups with only 1 of them on the court, not both.

Blocks don’t tell the whole story. Aidoo is fantastic at altering shots without fouling. Nkamhoua gets highlight blocks every now and then, but he also commits more fouls in the paint it seems. I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, just think Aidoo alters more shots than nkamhoua

Aidoo actually averages more fouls per 40 than Nkamhoua fwiw…I like Aidoo, I want him playing, have no issues with it and he’s a very good defender if he can hold up against stronger bigs.

ON does not need to start. Not playing that well. Uros or Aidoo probably. Would like to see what Tobe could do if he got 20 minutes a game. Ten points tonight in just 12 minutes and we already know how he rebounds.

I sure don’t want to pile on ON but his hands seemed to be an issue. He just rarely seems to catch the ball cleanly and often struggles get an handle on the ball to begin a basketball move. Clearly he can get going at times but gravitates to the perimeter too much. I know Rick wasn’t pleased with a couple of quick threes he took. JMO

That’s a good point; he’s slow moving, once he receives the ball. The other problem I have is that, yeah he’s a stretch 5 that allegedly creates match up problems on the perimeter - and I know his stats say he has a high percentage make from 3 - but does anyone truly feel confident when he shoots a 3? If he did more grunt work and embraced the physicality in the paint, I would care less when he shoots a 3.

He apparently shoots the 3-ball well in practice. I do get your points, though.
