The Bottom of our roster includes:
15. Jackson
14. Kornet
13. Vonleh
12. Hauser
11. Pritchard
Jackson and Kornet are pretty much fringe NBA players but you don't expect much more from slots 14 and 15. If those 2 were replaced with say Favors and Harkless, that would be awesome, but does this really move the needle? We would be better in the case where the team is gutted by COVID or something but these guys are not even going to play unless there is some sort of roster emergency. If it is that bad where we have to play these guys, slightly better players are not going to make all that much difference. Favors could make a difference I guess, I am all for trying to get him. Not seeing any other waived players that I would expect to really make much difference. I am all for getting Harkless and cutting Jackson too, I just don't see it as dire or as making all that much difference (or that we are all that much different than nearly every other team).
Hauser and Vonleh are a bit harder to gauge. They gave Hauser a real multiyear contract. It is a risk as he is not really established as an NBA player. Should be a useful player though. We'll see. Kind of the same with Vonleh. I think he is going to prove useful. Pritchard is great for a 3rd stringer. I feel Hauser, Vonleh, and Pritchard can hold their own if needed.
Our roster looks a lot worse than it really is because we have 2 of our top 4 bigs injured and replaced by 2-way players. And if we have more injuries or even short term illnesses, the roster is going to look even worse. Yes, Favors would help but he is only going to come here if he wants to come here. Hope we can add still. Not the end of the world if we don't right now.
