I don't mind Jaylen coasting like he is. Come playoffs we know he turns into a beast.

Can't wait for the real basketball to start.

I like seeing lots of BS

I had lost track of Fultz. Had no idea he was in Sacramento.
Celtics sure dodged a bullet not drafting him. They must have seen something they did not like.
That move by Brad was Auerbach-level genius.

that was Danny

Hope Tatum's ankle injury is not severe. I would just rest him for the rest of the regular season.

Just watched the game.  Tatum was looking so good - playing best basketball of his career.  Smooth as silk.  The injury looked bad.  Can?t see him coming back in the regular season.  Honestly, with the pain he was in, that?s an injury that will have an impact for a while.  Cs take the game in the fourth without either Jay on the court.  Good thing for Hauser that he?s had a couple of monster shooting games recently because Scheierman is earning minutes.  Luke again with a solid game. The season rests on JTs ankle.  Dang.

He's going to be a good player that happens to shoot. His passing was underrated when he was drafted.

Is it fair to say Scheierman might already be our 9th/10th man in a playoff rotation? I mean he's been getting minutes and doing well with them, meanwhile Craig still never gets minutes. Not just long term, but even this season he could be nice Hauser insurance if his back acts up or something in April and beyond.

He'll continue to get his opportunities as well as they continue to load manage guys down the stretch.

No, it is not fair to say that.  Firstly, Kornet is clearly in the top 9 over Scheierman, who is 10th at the absolute best.  Secondly, Joe will only go with a 9-man rotation when healthy in the playoffs, so considering who the 10th man is would be largely an academic exercise.  But thirdly, I would expect that if things were going awry and Joe did need to dig deeper into the bench for minutes, Craig would get the first call by virtue of his 75 career playoff games and 19 career playoff starts.  Joe is giving Baylor some good minutes down the stretch of the season because he is playing well and with all the resting of players there are minutes to give, but these are developmental minutes and to see if Scheierman could be in the rotation next year should we lose people as expected to the second apron. (Answer: yes.  Good pick, Brad).
