Dang. You guys pile on quick. I meant I would not want to have both of them at the same time. Would like to have at least 1 guy with some size at the position. My two cents.
Both of those guys are going somewhere to start. I'd love to live in a world where we could get them both, but that's a fantasy.
Size is over-rated at that position IMO. The best on-ball defender in the championship game last night was 5'10".

Yep, agreed! Exhibit A: the Cleveland Cavs' backcourt:

Dear lord man. Either of these guys would turn around our offensive issues significantly
Yep, that's also one reason I feel along with shooting that an area TSJ needs to work on is distributing the ball when driving without turning it over. That combined with a killer PG could have a major impact is TSJ returns. We must have more assist , less dribbling, more movement, and better passing next season.

I don't expect any more transfers from the team
I would imagine that, while it is shocking to the fans, the coaching staff appreciates early confirmation on these transfer portal entrances. Knowing what spots that need to be filled helps a lot with the recruiting process. The surprise entries that come last minute are probably the most aggravating.

So, thanks to those players that entered the portal quickly! I was hoping you wouldn't, but at least the band aid has been ripped off and we can move on (hopefully).
