Rudy has spent alot of time with him, probably him at some point.

I really like watching LaMelo play and do wish the good guys on this team the best but, this team is super thin on “Effective NBA Player” talent.

It’s really LaMelo, Terry, and Mark Williams who would make a contenders rotation.

• BMill will probably be an effective NBA player but he’s going to have his rookie bumps,
• Bridges will miss games,
• and respectfully there’s a reason PJ didn’t get the contract he wanted.
• Everyone else is either old (Hayward) or very raw (Nick Smith, etc.).

Hornets likely don’t make the play-in. Not 100% the good guys fault but it’s likely out of their hands.

I agree the spacing is bad, Monty seems to like Ausur and will likely pull two of the other guys out for spacing, since Ausur is the “best” shooter outside of Cade in that lineup.

Ausar. He’s gonna get love from all three of their ball handlers and be the only “sure thing” on Detroits roster till they can figure out Cade/Ivey in the backcourt and Duren/BeefStew in the front court.

Amen’s the better player IMO but he’s been drafted by a team that values Jalen Green, Jabari, and Sengun more. He’s gonna have to work much harder to develop correctly but if he does will be an All NBA player.
