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?

There’s a reason Blake was still available last minute for the C’s to sign. He’s a shell of himself.

Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

he can help with rebounding anything is better than Luke- at least Blake can Foul guys hard. Luke is just a Gentle Soft Giant out there. I still like blake on the bench clapping and cheering on. he will be ready when hes number is called.

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"
