Calvin Booth says there aren’t any glaring holes on the roster. There could be a couple of spots in the rotation that are upgraded: “More than anything our rookies need more seasoning.”

I don’t disagree completely but I’ll be really disappointed if we roll out the same bench unit next year as we did this year. We have got to find a way to get more production off the bench to ease the burden on the starters.

Booth is clueless

Yeah this tracks with everything else he has said, he is putting a lot chips on CB and PWat. I would like to see us hedge that bet a little bit.

Regardless of what he actually thinks, you’re obviously not gonna get much from direct interviews.

He’s not inherently wrong but we can’t have our only plan be that the young guys take big steps forward. We still need vet improvement too. Reggie Jackson is definitely a “glaring hole” as our 6 and we need a reliable backup center so that Jokic isn’t playing 45 minutes in elimination games

I read this as reinforcing the division between Booth and Malone in their philosophies. I just don’t think we’re going to see any of our youth take that step to being a 12-4-4 guy on the bench which is desperately needed.
Plus, Zeke is not a center. Stop trying to make that happen.

I would say backup big and lack of ball handlers are kinda big, but what do I know. With 3 max contracts we can only try to sign some vet minimum ring chasers. Nnaji’s contract in theory could be used for trade but at this point I’m not sure if we can actually get anything usefull in return.

i imagine Booth was making eye contact with Malone without blinking as he said this to the media. and both of them didn’t want to be the first one to blink so their eyes were turning red and tearing up. I bet booth Blinked first though b/c Malone’s a championship level coach right?

I like Booth’s vision for long-term sustainability through drafting and developing, but I don’t understand how our rookies are supposed to get “seasoning” when our coach is generally opposed to giving rookies meaningful minutes

Draft Bronny and bring in LeBron for vet min. Perfect bench guy.

Another season of Jokic having to carry the team for 79 games cos the team collapses every time he’s off will yield the same results. You’re never winning shit with him resting 3 games in a season, you’re never winning shit if he has to play 47 minutes in a playoff game.

Is Hunter Tyson an NBA rotational player?

Malone needs to play the young guys, and let them learn from their mistakes. Zeke could be a rotational piece if he got consistent playing time, and wasn’t immediately benched for making a mistake. There’s a reason the bench is always terrible, and I don’t think it’s fair to put that on the players.

One problem I saw over the season was a lack of rotation. Same 7/8 guys no matter the game.
Unless we’re talking garbage time then put DJ in for the last 2 minutes.

I put this in another thread but I’d love to see Claxton on the team. I know it’s probably out of the realm, but he’d be a good big to have

sounds horrible to actually say that, rip

Dude. Reggie. *ZEKE*. MPJ about half of the time too. This roster sorely needs retooling
Colorado_designer
Dude just fix the bench instead of blaming Malone for not developing a grab-bag of rookies, NONE of whom are centers or playable PGs. Pickett and Tyson picks were horrible
The window is now, idc about long-term sustainability

Lol we supposed to expect P Wat, stawther , and Zeke to all make leaps?
