Garland at center works
KPJ running point, Sexton essentially playing SG...a lot to like there. KPJ can pick up the SGs on defense. Theres a solution to our problem.
Garland can run the second unit. He doesn’t factor into my long term plans until he starts to actually perform. If we’re in that position come trade deadline next season, we can make the hard choices then. Garland will either be looking like a bustola or force the issue. Either way we’ll know where we stand.
Garland has had too good of a rookie year to be a bust, the issue is Sexton is scoring way too eficiently at a way to young age to keep ignoring and KPJ is looking like the 3rd or 4th best player from the draft.
garland still looks top 10 from draft, and has allot of room to grow, its just Sexton and KPJ really looking like they could both be borderline all star. Remember, 5th overall pick is not by any means a guarantee all star, really not too many all stars outside of Wade and Love and Cousins, but plenty of contributors, right now I have to guess, Garland ends up a solid rotational player, and that is ok.
Has he? What makes Garland rookie season good?
As a Garland fan, I disagree. He should score on a much higher rate. Heck, every god damn scrub nowadays can put 20+...especially on tanking teams.
Garland's premise was his shooting. I expected him to have a poor man's Curry gravity to open up the game for himself and everyone else -- that hasn't happened, and that's a shame. I really hope he will able to show that next year..cause if he can't then his whole profile and premise go down the drain.
So KPJ was benched because he forgot his jersey.
Is that normal that players bring their jersey, not some equipment guy?
Was he benched because of punishment or because he didn't have a jersey yet?
Porter was never benched,he had a concussion during the game and never came back.
Delly started over him, thus benched, I didn't say he didn't play, but he came off bench.
Porter realized when he was about to go to center court in starting the game that he forgot to wear his jeresy. Delly then had to start and once Porter got his jeresy he came into the game 1-2 minutes in. Unfortunately he had a head problem so he had to leave the game.So KPJ was benched because he forgot his jersey.

I don't think he was benched, he couldn't go on the floor until he had his jersey. He went in after like a minute.
Thanks, I didn't watch the game, that story makes more sense, it seems ridiculous to bench a kid for forgetting his jersey, honest mistake, probably nervouse, 2nd NBA start ever, but yeah if he didn't have one at tip off, that is another story, lol.
If you watch the video, he is standing there with his black undershirt telling the coach. Then Bickerstaff tells Delly to go in and Delly starts laughing. It was funny and reminded me of the time Donyell Marshall forgot his Jersey.
KPJ was pissed that the media hyped it up and didn't mention he got a concussion. He's fiery
It was too bad I thought he did a good job on Tatum early, and he had some nice passes to start the game. He's strong and Tatum couldn't move him in the post.
