Fleming at 14 min is criminal.
So is Oso over Maluach.

If you think that Oso is getting totally squeezed out of playtime, you've got another think coming.

Well, once the season starts, you'll have another think coming. I know...few and far between. :P

I have a sneaking suspicion that he is going to be VERY important to this club.
Let's let it play out, but i will stand behind Oso

Oso and Maluach should be our centers.
I hope that they trade Williams during the season.
Maluach to start, and Oso as the defacto pg of the bench

He needs to work on at least being serviceable at the line if he wants to be important to this team.

Ok.
I'm not backing down from my statement.
I'm ok being wrong, but I don't think I will be.

I'm excited to find out

I meant he's so big that if you stand behind him, nobody will be able to see you!

I'm WAY too lazy, but i would be so curious to see Draymond's stats total compared to Oso

Why is Draymond the preferred player?

Oso can't be terrible at the line AND at the 3 AND be small.

We can play him sure but he's a cute toy that we'll never win meaningful ball with.

And CG is a winning player, Green not so much. CG should get the nod.

Bozo should not get rotation minutes unless he can make some kind of a fucking shot offensively. Any shot. That weird ass floater doesn't count.

You're vastlyyyyyy overrating Oso's defensive ability. Draymond is a top 20 defensive player of all time. It's like asking why Shaq could play on the court and be a championship piece if he couldn't hit FTs

Oso is above average defensively against a small ball 5 and can't rebound yet is inept offensively other than passing and an occasional dunk. Way too many holes in his game to trot him out there as a connecting piece
