Did you agree with Jordi Fernandez's decision to bench Egor Demin and Ben Saraf vs. the Hawks? Why or why not?
Nope there’s nothing to lose play all the rookies from here on out
Not having a veteran PG to show these guys how to play is hurting this team. PG is the toughest position for rookies
I agree with every decision Jordi Makes. If Jordi recommended that drafting these five rookies would guarantee us losing fifty games, i tink he was being sarcastic. At this point, LeBron for Michael Porter Junior and two of the five rookies may make sense for both teams.
Who could've seen this coming 🙄
Ben Saraf looks frightened. This season will kill whatever confidence he has
77 more L’s to go
Marks has to step in if Jodie tries to start Benching rookies to win games. Very short sighted.
Listen I’m a huge Demin supporter but I’m not nonobjective. He has a long way to go. The dude DOES not even attempt to touch the paint even when he actually has a step on a defender. That’s an issue. Maybe he is still hurt or recovering but that’s a problem. Ben Seraf scoring zero points you can’t do that as a starting level point guard. Get the the line something.
Jody Fernandez has to be benched. Love this dude competitive fire, but it’s his competitive fire that screwed shit up last year and he’s gonna try to do it again this year.. the NBA does not have a E for effort award that’s handed out to teams that win more games that they should’ve.
The rookies need to play significant minutes all year, and if it comes to the expense of not winning games, that’s the way it goes
What is the point of this season if we’re watching horrible basketball and it’s just a bunch of guys who won’t be here? I thought Sean marks drafted 5 players to see if at least 2-3 of them would hit. You play them that’s what we signed up for that’s what the youth movement was about. If you’re going to bench them everytime they make a mistake then we have an issue.
