Fugly. This is not good. Losing sucks. But this is much worse than the inconsistency of youth

We are clueless on both ends of the court

In a contest between two of the worst teams in the league, one played a team offense and credible defense the other played hero ball. Now there's a lot of fans who think hero ball is the way to go, no matter those scrubs never play a lick of defense. As long as your efg% has improved you are a "success". What bothers me is Fizdale seems to be assigned with that way of thinking or he is waiting for the players to show enough consistency before he teaches them any offense. Or we are trying to be the ultimate destination for lottery picks turned bust to come rehab their careers.

Nothing should have or should change the principals from when he was first drafted. If a deal you can't refuse is offered then take it because it's a deal you can't refuse. Other than that continue to develop him. One of the best case scenarios is that he hits his stride after he is retained for less value than he becomes. Or if he is a solid role player that he is paid with a value contract.

He only becomes an issue if his contract exceeds his value. If he doesn't turn into a quality player than he will eventually get beat out by the competition.
