If Minott Hugo and Walsh can hit consistently from the perimeter that gives us another dimension. All have shown improvement. Minott a Nesmith light? What was up with Garza? He ate them up last time. Jet Howard and Richrdson scored at will. The Nets game was horrible. If Brad I would be trying to get Ighodaro Maluach, Williams or Richards out of Phoenix. Richards and Maluach getting little time. I expect Boucher will be gone after Dec 15 . If Simons is moved who are our targets? He is a proven NBA scorer

Great article Adam. I know Joe is still tinkering with rotations but Minott and Walsh both need 20 plus minutes every night and at least 1 of them should be on the floor at all times. I understand Joe coaching hard and pulling players when they make certain mistakes (giving up O-reb etc...) but when Minott is playing with confidence, he's been INCREDIBLE. Those 2's development, along with Hugo and Neemy, need to be a main focus for the rest of the season. Develop these assets!!

I agree here. I get the need to compete, especially in terms of keeping JB, White and Pritchard engaged and happy...But it's clear that Minott, Gonzalez and Walsh are playing to win. They're all fighting for something, be it their future in the league or a long-term spot in the rotation. It sucks for Boucher, but he's clearly at the end of the bench now. I just don't know how you fit all three wings into that rotation on a consistent basis
