Frankly i'm more concerned about KK. I've seen a lot of positives from him this year, but only in bits and pieces. One game he shoots well but nothing else; another game he seems to be rebounding better or driving with strength, but then disappears. He needs to start putting it all together in ever game, consistently
We need KK to succeed at a consistent role, more so than Trier
I tried to see what Wooten was doing in GLeague recently and he is either sick or hurt or something, hasn't played in a week or more. I think it's good to keep him there for the duration of season. Same with Iggy, and I like the numbers he is putting up, across the board he is producing.
Trier is definitely an enigma and it's too bad he just didn't decide to go to GLeague himself to put up stats and maybe get a lot of run as a PG. At this point it's hurting his career not getting minutes and would have at least peaked interest if he showed he could run a team.
KK is just a mess. His half hearted defense is wide open obvious and his shot is not there any more, no idea what he did differently at beginning of season to now.
And it does seem like DSJr has got his athleticism back - he is another guy who could have built himself up in GLeague. Did backtrack some P&T articles and this is the second summer DSJr is coming off of a shooting coach who was trying to work on his mechanics.

“So did he walk the walk this summer? Eh. I don’t really think so. Revamping a jumper isn’t a one summer thing, to be fair, but he went through this last year in Dallas too — that offseason he worked with Steph Curry’s trainer (all are from North Carolina). Hence my tinfoil hat theory that an injury derailed his form and he played/shot through it for months in Dallas, cementing a ****tier shot than he had at NC State.”
