If Brandon was shooting 40% for us last season why can't he reach that same level again?
So far our three point shooters are Max, Klay, Ryan and Hardy who barely gets any P time and probably wont in the future.
Our only decent rotation of 3 point threats is Ryan Max and Klay. They maybe can get us to where we stretch the other teams defense.
Brandon is looking like he only does well when he plays at least 20 minutes a game and when he is in there for less play time he does not seem to do as well.
If Kyrie comes back strong and hits 40% + that helps.
But when that happens it probably means we will see Brandon even less. At 19% his 3PFG % is garbage for a guard.
We have too many guys that are half ass on 3 pointers. Cooper is going to need to focus his time on developing a better game shooting the 3 as well. So is PJ and NAJI.
We need to get another first round pick to draft some talent with.
Later in the 1st we could snag the kid from Germany and if we can add on some 2nd round picks to draft some of the centers that fall into the 2nd round like the 2 brothers from Europe we may get our team back to being more formidable at the 5 and have a F/C that can hit 3's and keep Cooper at the 3.
I assume we will use our 1st pick in the draft on a PG. That is why we need a 2nd pick and we hopefully can get a few 2nds before the TDL as we sell off some of our guys.
If we add that then we can see what Lively will do when and if he returns to healthier status and if he fails to stay healthy enough to play we will have some potential replacements in development.
Some of you may talk about us ruining our tank with a 3 game winning streak. Do not give up hope on team tank just yet. I know we have only had 2 4 game losing streaks so far this year but we have not been getting serious about the tank yet. Just take a look at our future schedule.
NEXT 10 games:
Jan 22 vs GSW
Jan 24 vs LAL
Jan 25 @ MIL 11th seed in the east
Jan 28 vs MIN
Jan 29 vs CHA 12th seed in the east and the weakest team we play over the next 10 games.
Jan 31 @ HOU They probably put a lot more effort in to winning the next time we play them.
Feb 3 vs BOS
Feb 5 vs SAS
Feb 7 @ SAS
Feb 10 @ PHX
We may see some natural improvement in our tanking effort over the remaining 38 game schedule.
I see one 3 game stretch with IND, BRK, and SAC, a couple games against CHA and one left with NOP and that is about all I see that we can look to for some easier wins. we have 2 games left with each of these teams as well MEM ATL LAC.
That is the 12 games we can most likely win over the next 38 games.
If we win all 12 of those games we go 12 and 26 over the final 38 games to finish at 30 and 52. That was good enough to tie for the 8th worst record in the league last season. Right now we have the 8th worst record in the league even with our latest 3 game surge in the win column.
Some of these 12 games may be losses.
The rest of our schedule may bring a lot more losing so our tank may just be refueling to get its tank on.
I would not worry about the tanking too much, this 3 game win streak may be our last winning streak for a while.
