We lack the roster to allow him to do so (until Mo is ready) to remedy that since losing IHart forcing the KAT trade. When OG was first traded for and he lined up at SF next to Randle & IHart. Knicks were 26-4 with him in the lineup including playoffs.

100%

200% he is in his prime now with the speed and such. He can always go to playing the 4 once he loses a step

Oh thank God! Not ideal, but could've been so much worse! Sit him on Friday. I don't want him anywhere near Embiid while he's iffy.

I expect to see Sochan ahead of Diawara in the rotation

Anyway, like I was saying, crow is the fruit of the forums. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There's crow kebabs, crow creole, crow gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple crow, lemon crow, coconut crow, pepper crow, crow soup, crow stew, crow salad, crow and potatoes, crow burger, crow sandwich. That, that's about it. Oh and a crow emoji.

The starting 5 all have been key at some point thus far.

Lets see how the rest of this series plays out.
