We really need to see way way more.
I think we may find that while they can put up numbers, both Jones and Bagley are sieves on the defensive end, greatly limiting any potential value.
I am also reminded that with past trades where some scrub players were added, there was much excitement over supposed potential that really didn't ever exist. I have to notice that these guys were filler throw-ins for a reason (and it was not because they were high value possessions).
I think his post was less about the new guys being good and more about how much better this offense has looked all season when they put a remotely competent PG on the floor.
