Could we target Avery Bradley? I realize he is talking with LAC about resigning today I believe. But he would be a great addition and fill our wing need.
We have a wing need?
we bench only 1 competent wing off the bench (Morris) and he gets tunnel vision a lot
How do we not have a wing need
Hayward, Brown, Tatum, Morris, Smart. Plus Ojeleye can play 3. Rozier can play some 2. Jabari Bird might be ready for more time. As it is, Marcus Morris is worried about where his minutes are going to come from. This team has more competent wings than almost any other team in the league.
1. I said off the bench so naming "Hayward brown Tatum" to make the list seem long isn't fooling anyone
2. Smart isn't a 2 way wing
3. Rozier cannot play the 2. He is too streaky offensively and too small defensively. That's why he plays 1 exclusively
4. Ojeleye is so bad offensively, that a bad coach like ty lue successfully made ojeleye dnp-cd
5. Bird isn't on the roster yet. And he's a d league player
I'm not advocating to add bradley. I'm just saying That the people who say we don't have a wing need are clueless really. We are not deep just because we start 3 wings. Each starter needs a competent 2 way backup ideally. In that regard, we do need 2 more wings as Morris is the only 1
Regardless of whether or not you like Smart and Ojeleye, they are capable of playing the wing and did so last year. Rozier played almost a quarter of his minutes at the 2 last season, per basketball-reference.
Assuming Smart resigns, the C's are bringing back every wing they had last season and are adding Gordon Hayward. As it is, Marcus Morris is worried about his minutes.
