I’ve always said that Darko should play Lawson more. He gives him such a short leash. He’s currently our best bench scorer and it’s not close.
A.J. Lawson has earned a chance. This man has never hung his head when opportunities were not coming his way. He has worked and worked and deserves that final roster spot !!
Gradey. I do feel at the very least he speeds up the pace when hes on the floor
Did Brandon make sloppy go 2/8 ??? Definitely not …its a pattern if the raps play a an elite team then sloppy suddenly sucks ….time after time 🎉🎉🎉
Im starting to think that brandon ingram is making scottie worst he doesn’t pass that much he does the same move every time he couldn’t shoot last night from 3 its kinda embarrasing when your supposed to be the number 1 scorer
battle
100% AJ , I like his game since last season , he ca def and good 3 points shooter
AJ… best choice in regards to on court play. It's also good to reward 2way players for the work they put in.
AJ….. he should get the final spot. He has fought for a spot in this league and never seems to get discouraged even though he has bounced back and forth with the G league for years. This season he has made it obvious that he is an NBA player. Make it as a Raptor.
1 game after Scotty looked great with the ball in his hands a lot, they start out the game with him as an afterthought.
I don't understand at all. He needs to be more involved and inside the paint, banging with guys, not making the 1st pass after bringing the ball up and never touching it again.
Side note, RJ seems like the only guy that can consistently play, and score thru contact. That is a definite need for playoffs.
Y
Battle for sure. He’s a dead eye
As much as people say SB not scoring ISNT as big a deal as it might be, I disagree. If you're reading a game like this, I think you need to be more aggressive on offense. He NEEDS to get out of the corner and NEEDS to command the ball more.
Aj
Waive Fultz and sign AJ for that final roster spot
battle
Cut Grady, take AJ and Battle. They're the best players, cut Temple if you also want Martin or another pg prospect for depth.
AJ. (I'd choose him over Gradey and Jameson) Y. (his contract should be converted.) Also, why are you so "bullish" on Alijah Martin? I honestly don't see the what the fuss is over a 6'2" G-League guard. Great G-League stats don't always translate into NBA success.
I thought dick was gonna go hard but now he just looking like a shriveled dick
AJ better than Gradey & Shead!
B.I. isnt the reason scottie shot 2/8. The 2 work together very well and we've seen it. Its also one of the best defensive teams itl we just couldn't win
Waive Fulz Sign AJ
lawson is not gonna move the needle. leave the roster spot open and just save money.
I’ve been saying free AJ Lawson from Darko doghouse for the past two years. Their refusal to put him in the rotation is a reflection of their incompetence, as is the refusal to give TJD some run. Aggressive unethical tank last year raps pulling starters in 4th with a lead, now quasi-tank this year. Pushing CMB as next level. He’s a good rotation player yes but not a good pick considering what they did for it last year. Gradey pick a bust. Free AJ and TJD and battle.
I am telling you early right now, Brandon Ingram isnt a good fit for Scottie Barnes. Ingram is on his way out of toronto calling it early. He will want too much in his last big contract in the range of 55-60 million a year, and he wont give a discount on his last big contract. Could be as soon as draft night. I dont think ingram deserves any kind of raise on his next contract, he may require a big paycut.
