[QUOTE="othawhitemeat, post: 1498684, member: 3776"] There was promise the last 10 minutes so hopefully, we can use that forward. If Giorgi can hit a 3 though at a solid rate, I think it can work with a caveat though. I would want Griffin and Frazier in there as they spread the floor enough to make the Kofi/Giorgi possibly work. Possibly add Tevian if he is not in doghouse in a few games from now. However, if one of Griffin or Frazier is not in there, the big man lineup will probably struggle as they are the only 2 legit 3 point threats we have. Kipper had a nice game and the ball is more elusive when paired with either Kofi/Giorgi. I do think Tevian could be very useful if he gets his head on straight as he could be another possible size/scorer off bench. I would pair Tevian more with Kofi since Kofi provides size to get more rebounds and allows Tevian to use speed to get out in transition. Giorgi probably needs more size when solo and needs at least Kipper along with either Tevian/Griffin and Feliz at one guard to help with rebounding. I think Brad pairing the right players is key. We have to be more cognizant in terms of defense/rebounding when Giorgi is out there, but have a little more flexibility when Kofi is solo. Kofi out there Tevian Frazier (shooting purposes) whoever else Giorgi B Kipper Tevian or Griffin Feliz whoever else, defense and rebounding for Giorgi Kofi and Giorgi together: Kofi Giorgi B Griffin or Tevian if on (for spacing) Frazier (for spacing) either Feliz or Ayo Ayo needs to work on letting the game come to him, while also being a threat offensively. What I mean is that when not pushing the pace, he needs to be more aggressive with mid-range if he wants to develop into a NBA 1st round pick. Right now his game is a streaky 3, or get to the lane. While the NBA is mainly 3 or layup, his shot from 3 is so streaky that if he develops and shows he has a floater, a mid-range jumper, or some creation ability not while in transition or being set a pick, he will help this team and his draft perspectives, but right now he is in a little slump and hopefully will bust out soon.
