    You can tell with the hair that Mathews is getting a little bit too comfortable with his position in the league and his role on the team. Dude needs a reality check that his spot in the rotation is up in the air.

    I honestly think that is his role. A microwave oven scorer like Crawford. His game doesn't work well with Sengun and Green unless he just is regulated to a spot up shooter.

    that’s a new one for me because I view that statement as fact…I don’t see a high ceiling for JC, unless solid rotation player at best is considered a high ceiling

    Its not the worst idea but Ty Ty needs to take a leap first. KPJ needs to really start hitting his free throws and shoot better to take the next step. I love the defense though.

    Feels like stone wants to try to make those fringe players happen to make him look like more of a genius. Gary, Tate (Tate is playing well) and Nix all fringe players stone trying to make happen.

    Other than Tates defense at the 3 he is an issue too. He cant hit open threes or free throws.
