Under no circumstances was I expecting a 2013-2014 version of Blake but I was happy about the signing and was hoping he would be a PJ Brown type player in our rotation. Has he fallen off THAT much since the injury that he's like a complete non-factor that is going to rack up DNP's all season? Call me silly but I looked at signing Brogdon and Blake as great moves this off-season. Was that wishful thinking?
I think its still too early to say.
Like last year we had a group of bigs; Freedom, Parker, Hermongomez, Bruno vs Kornet, Vonleh, Blake, Gallanari this year.
After the deadline we had Theis, Kornet, Hauser, and a rotation of G leaguers.
We were/are hoping something sticks.
Last year we started with Parker/Hemongomez. Mixed results.
Went more towards Freedom. Mixed results
Shorten the rotation. Improved but mixed results.
This year, Vonleh/Griffin
Kornet
We are playing our regulars big minutes.
No reason to panic, but these games count.
We're 4-3 instead of 2-5.
White + Brogdon > Shroeder + Richardson
Scoring is down slightly, in slightly reduced minutes, but assists, rebounding, and fit are much better.
20 games is a good point to start evaluating "wishful thinking"
