I'd rather have him over Javonte Green.

We could use a PF that can defend and not be a 0 on offense to back up Tatum. We have enough wings and guards.

I think that is supposed to be G.Williams/Semi/Theis (starting C/backup pf with healthy C trio). I realize all three are pretty limited offensively, but I am not really sure who is available that is definitely better than those three.

I would say we could use another scorer off the bench. Always having two of Kemba/Hayward/Brown/Tatum should do the trick, but it is nice to have another guy who can just score when needed. Perhaps Romeo is being groomed for that role - Carsen was probably supposed to be that guy.

I absolutely loved Turner while he was here and would welcome him if he signed here, but I don't know that he is for sure better than any of our current 15.

Is he an upgrade over Wanamaker at the point / ballhandler / offense-initiator spot?

I don’t know about Romeo. Stevens has not played him at all lately.
He also got a DNP CD against the bulls last night .  Not a good sign for his progress

Exactly my point Theis is our starting C and that Semi with Williams are terrible options vs the other positions.

PG Walker, Smart, Wanna, Edwards
SG Brown, Smart, Green, Langdord
SF Hayward, Brown, Tatum
C Theis, Kanter, R.Willams, Tacko

We could use a better PF backup option.

Yes. That dude can put up stats on any given night. He plays well under Brad too as a versatile swiss army knife.

He's been far less productive in similar minutes than Wanamaker just last year.

Eh, I'd rather have a guy who is explosive athletically than Turner at this point. Green is a weapon in transition if nothing else. Though I don't trust either.

Since Grant Williams got over his terrible 3 point shooting start, I think he has actually been a decent little offensive player. His stats per game since that made three pointer:

11 games
16.7 mins
5 points
2.3 rebounds
1.3 assists
52.5% FG%
36.8% 3PT%
60% FT%
60.2% TS%

Given most of the time he is the #4 or #5 scoring option while playing, that's pretty good. He is also just a 21 year old rookie and is tremendously versatile and good as a defender. And, yeah, would love a better scorer off the bench but Grant is not a zero on offense. He is becoming very efficient as a scorer and a good passer that can initiate offense for others. I really like his game and potential.

Rumors are they dont want him plating b2b yet.

Disagree. He is better than wanamker at most things save for outside shot.

They have different roles in the offense.
