Game 60 Dirkie Thread: Moses Brown!!!

[SleepingHero]

We had Kyrie, Klay, Christie, Marshall, and Exum. That's five of our top ten guys, and three of them are bench players. 

I don't know why you and so many others are so hard on Marshall. He has playmaking ability from a frontcourt position. No he isn't elite at it, but he's good. I'm kind of surprised at the grousing about his defense - I know he isn't DJJ, but defense was supposed to be part of his calling card.

I guess a better way to say it is that i don’t think Naji is a bad player. He’s certainly fine. But his weaknesses on this team are just so amplified. We could get away with a pretty poor shooter next to Luka because Luka’s gravity gives everyone a boost. Now? I think we can’t afford having anyone with such a glaring weakness, especially when we need more offensive creation/shooting.

Naji is a fine passer. He’s a fine defender. But his weakness is such a big fissure in an otherwise fine game that I don’t think he’s a fit anymore. Add in his sometimes mind-bendingly stupid mistakes he can have and I just think he’ll be eaten alive when the going gets tough.
