I don't have high expectations for SloMo (or even if Finch would give him meaningful playing time) but I hope he contributes. And please don't use him as a point-of-attack defender please
For a buyout move, I really like it. He shot 40% from 3 one year (on low volume) before he got an eye laceration. Bummed to hear he's not shooting them this year.
SloMo definitely helps the bench and younger player development. Naz with Ayo, Slomo, TJ and Clark can definitely add D flavor to the Rudy Sorbet show.
He should be taking minutes from Julius whenever Julius is struggling on offense even the slightest bit. Without offense Julius is a big ass negative, Everyone else in the main rotation does other shit when they can't get going offensively. Slomo is a better passer than Julius and having someone that actually gives a shit on defense, let alone makes rotations and closes out on shooters will help a lot. I'd bring him in as a defensive specialist to close out leads like they do in baseball with shitty fielders.
Whatâs so frustrating with Randle is he can play decent defense but he usually chooses not to. Heâs so big and strong he can guard these strong big men. Slomo is not a bad addition.
I think he should take most of Bones' and TJ's minutes going forward. I still think Joan should be the back up 5 that pushes Naz to the 3, but if the team doesn't think he's ready for that then Kyle can be the back up 5 defensively when Rudy is off the floor. He's limited offensively, but as long as he's used correctly he can still be a plus on offense. Bones' defense is what it is at this point and TJ still seems lost right now trying to work off the rust so Kyle feels like the better option right now until we see otherwise on the floor.
I think this is a really solid addition. This team needs a veteran who can hold them accountable. The team knows him so it's not like a total outsider coming in that could cause friction. Also having a smart solid defender to come in during the Non-Gobert minutes is really big.
He was pretty much the best player we had on the court for a lot of that Dallas series we got wrecked in. Definitely looking forward to having him back.
love Kyle addition but his level of impact will depend on how finch uses him. if he uses him as you described as basically a back up 5 he's gonna be huge. But if finch plays him w Rudy all the time like a few years ago it's gonna drive me nuts. kills spacing.
Slo Mo causes spacing problems because when we're on offense, the opponent doesn't cover him because they know he's not a threat. When he was on the Wolves we saw double team and triple team defense on our shooters. On offense we can only use him as a 6'9" point guard who can't shoot. When he'd sub in, the three rows in my section at Target Center would all sigh in disappointment. We wanted him back on the bench. Yeah, maybe Slo Mo is a fun, supportive voice on the bench and in the locker room, but isn't that why we have Mike C and Joe Ingles? Just like those aren't two guys that should be getting minutes, neither should Slo Mo. Use Clark and TSJ for defense to pair with Randle and Naz. I hope that I'm proven wrong by seeing that having Slo Mo causes us to win. I'm not seeing what you are seeing in Slo Mo.

I was happy when SloMo moved on. Is this a problem we have to solve because of Randle?

Letâs hope heâs as useful like AYO is

As long as he is not on the floor with Gobert, he can play as much as Finch wants.
Back to an 8 starters lineup.

Lets just hope heâll slap foolius randle when he starts playing lazy

Welcome back Kyle Anderson. Let's go! We need your defensive presence and unselfish playmaker skills.
He's an excellent addition. Proven veteran knows the system. Thank you Mr. Connelly.
He could be huge if one of the bigs gets hurt

Full circle moment where Slomo punches Julius when heâs slacking on defense?
Tbh just hoping he can be used to take away some of Randleâs minutes when heâs lacking effort or just being trash.
Hopefully he gets some of Juliusâs minutes if only bc Julius looks gassed
Yeah slomo!! đ So good to see him back!
Great content, as always!
Leadership hasn't been the same since he left.
I know one thing Kyle can do..is get these dude in check..
there is a reason teams are not keeping him!!!!! wake up
He was pretty much the best player we had on the court for a lot of that Dallas series we got wrecked in. Definitely looking forward to having him back.
C'est quand mĂȘme incroyable d'ĂȘtre obligĂ© d'aller KA parce Julius est incapable de respecter ses coĂ©quipiers en mettant un peu de lui en dĂ©fense et mĂȘme il est rĂ©compensĂ© quand il est consternant en attaque en lui filant les deniers secondes du dernier match. En plus son langage corporel est dĂ©sastreux, en fait il ne se sent pas assez aimĂ© le povre

He's my all time favorite role player
I'm so glad hes back
Top of the key hub!
Another great video with even more great contributive analysis. đș
Kyle is a swiss army knife, his shot is the tool you don't like to use.
Each H&G video is more intriguing than the last…
Love slomo! We need another defender / high iq guy / ball handler. Plug and play.
