They suck as a unit doesn't mean they suck individually. For the most part their all low usage guys who can play defense and move the ball, occasionally hitting the open three. When they're all playing together there being asked to create for themselves leading to more contested shots and running into traffic, which in turn is affecting their defense as they're over helping. Oni and Morgan have already proven to be much more effective NBA players when a part of the regular rotation, same applies to Niang who with a more collapsed defense struggled to get his shot off cleanly.

Shaq Harrison btw is absolutely clueless when it comes to running an offense. Probably not much of a surprise that they looked better in preseason when NWG was running the third unit combined with Hughes who is the only player amongst the scrubs capable of creating for himself.

I get what you're saying. All of these players are theoretically role players and when you put 5 of then together it's not really lineup. But they are getting smoked to an unfathomable degree. After tonight it's about -50 in less than 40 minutes. When you're getting crushed that bad against other garbage time units...chances are you just stink. It's not like their opposition is a well oiled machine.
 
I didn't see elijah hughes out there tonight? Did he play and I just didn't see him or was he out for some reason?

Y’all: just relax about the scrubs. They aren’t ever gonna play regular minutes unless we have a catastrophe. And if that comes to pass then it doesn’t really matter anyways, now does it?

You been like covid, that's already been causing disruptions around the league? It's pretty much not a matter of if but when. I sure hope a few of them are ready to at least partially fill in the gaps. After seeing their effort the game if I were the FO I'd require all regular rotation guys to be continually under quarantine.

They’re about to drop the cycle threshold for PCR testing so the positivity rate is going to decline.
 
So totally off topic but I was just looking at luka doncic stats. Holy crap. As a 20 year 2nd year player he averaged 29 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists per game.
This season (his 3rd) as a 21 year old he is averaging 27 points, 10 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game.
His shooting splits leave a lot to be desired though.
Still, those numbers for a dude that young are insane.

Is that a good thing? The false negative rate is already an issue. Not sure if fewer positive results will do anything other than result in increases in actual illness. I'm sure you understand all this better than I do so I hope I'm wrong. My wife tested negative 3 times but was almost hospitalized and finally an antibody test showed she had it. If we increase the number of players actually getting sick that'll be worse.
