The optimistic fans like myself, spoke very highly of the bench. I thought the professional experience would help their nba learning curve. Plus we had a chance to see how quick KP adjusted. The starting lineup was more of an issue to me, because melos best position is PF...and the health risk of Noah and rose, was my issue or sign of weakness.
same.. I thought it was good. I thought Kuz/Willy would help right away because of their experience as pros as well. Didnt think much of Holiday but he's played well. Thought very little of KOQ and he's been a revelation. Thought tons of Lance and he's been a non factor... so while things didnt pan as I thought the depth proved to be real. Last night no starters played 30 minutes. Orlando is a scrappy physical team and our depth killed them. Not much from Melo/KP and we still win going away.
Most of all I love the pipeline. Suddenly KOQ is playing at a crazy level and he's only in year 2 of a 4 year very modest deal. Willy in year 1 of an equally cap amazing 4 year deal. Kuz getting better all the time and always seems to make plays and have an impact. We have some really nice upside on the bottom half of this roster.
