He really should start. No offense to Neto but Neto has been a dumb turnover machine lately.

Neto sucks wang. The only times he scores is when teams completely ignore him, like in Boston where the gameplan was "ignore Neto" but some players took it too literally and let him get wide open layups.

I would almost kick Neto out of the rotation and keep Burke in. Burke has sucked lately, but he is still capable of providing a shooting spark.

This. CJ and Neto are cute and all, but we should do whatever it takes not to play this level of player in our rotations.
 
Neto is a rookie pg that is starting, so it isn't that hard to find a pg that would improve our starting line up. Hopefully Mack can be a pretty good stop gap for us.

You bought into that stretch when Neto was playing well. I kept telling you he sucked. ;)

I agree.
I'm not sold on Mack after 1 game

You crazy. I'm totally sold. Vs. Neto and Burke?

I can't believe it's even a conversation. Mack was spectacular last night in nearly every facet of the game. It's not like he was good just because his shot was falling. At this point you play the guy who looks like he is our best option for the rest of the season. To me it's Mack.
 
The best part about Mack last night was the penetration he got. Opens up the offense a lot, which is important bc Quin's offense isn't that great.

He should be the starter the rest of the way, and maybe for a bit next year if Exum needs time.

I mean, he is OK at some things. I can see him developing into a much better player once he gets confidence in shooting his jumper off the dribble. But as of right now, he doesnt even have to be guarded off teh PNR which is what hurts him the most. You just can't be good in the NBA if you are 6'0 and can't shoot off the dribble at all.

Last night was Mack doing what Burke does well (PNR) and what Neto does well (not taking too many shots and keeping his dribble alive).

Neto is really overrated and I'm not worried about stunting his development... If he is our backup pg I think we can do better... He's a third string guy.

Keep Burke in the rotation because he could get back mentally and increase his value a little. He needs to go this offseason even if we just have to cut him.

disagree about CJ i thought he was terrific yesterday for the most part

I like CJ now... He went through a stretch that reminded me of millsap and it was bad. He plays his *** off and so long as he just shoots the open three instead of trying to drive I like him.

I'm not sure there is any getting back mentally. He's always sucked, except for like a month.
 
Especially when burks comes back there will not be any minutes left for Neto and maybe not Burke. I'd rather roll some variation of burks, Johnson, ingles than either of those guys right now.

He was pretty good until about 10 games ago. Still streaky but he looked much better even on his off nights.

hit the nail on the head, he did go through a bad patch, now his hustle is focussed and constructive and his shot selection is much much better. Solid end of bench player

Yeah cuz it takes so much balls to start your 5th overall draft pick. Completely different set of circumstances.

Of course Sloan had the balls to not start the 3rd overall draft pick.

Why would Quin worry much about demoting Neto? Neto's future here is at a 2nd or 3rd string at best anyways.
 
Mack is actually a decent player - for a 2nd string.

Atlanta was very deep at PG - Teague and Schröder are both top 20 NBA PGs, but on the same team. On a sidenote, we totally should've taken Schröder over Burke 3 years ago - he was actually projected to go to Jazz in many sites.

Mack is what he is, a 2nd string who plays with a ton of energy - which is already better than Burke and Neto. Rotoworld, a surprisingly good source of getting player info, already called Mack taking over the starting spot when the trade was announced.
