I agree with this.

I think I'd sign him to play the 3 off the bench.

Lance Thomas is not giving us much right now, but he's also playing more the 3.

We need someone who can rebound, defend, pass, and SCORE. Lance can do all those at a high level.

I would honestly sign him now and cut NDour or Plumlee.

what about the whole triangle learning curb, which our current players still haven't even figured out yet.

Well, a) we are barely running the Triangle at all this year. Which is why Phil is mad.

I think the starters will improve. But the bench needs some experience and scoring punch. They have none. How many games has it been where all the bench guys go scoreless or chip in 5 or 6 pts? We can't win like that. We need a good 25-30pts consistently from the bench, if not more. We need better D, too, which comes from experienced Vets. Kuz and Willy may eventually be players, but they don't look ready to me yet
