I really never understood the hate on this board for Shannon. He belongs in the rotation and he puts so much pressure on the rim in transition even giving him 8 minutes will wear an 8 man rotation down at the end of the game

Good to see him string together two good games against quality competition. Like Ant, he'd benefit a TON from a 5-out spread offense ala the Boston Celtics. Too bad Naz isn't a Center.

Go back to before the season began. He was loved, not hated! He lost Finch's trust with a cascade of defensive miscues and the inability to do anything useful in the short stints he was given. Then there was the injury(s).

Not a good matchup for DDV and Conley defensively. They keep ending up on Amen who proceeds to just overpower them in the paint. There aren't any other guards for them to defend!

A lot had been made of Shannon not having a right hand, but does Ayo have a left hand?? He seems to always want to drive right and finish right (which he's really good at btw). And we already know Randle is the opposite.

No one is convincing me Jaden couldn't be a strong #2 for this team. His aggressiveness is totally different than when Julius is out there. He is improving his ability to generate his own offense.

Ya, I don’t think anyone dislikes TSJ. I’m lower than others but still thought he would be solid. He has been bad this year by all accounts and it’s not like he hasn’t been given chances. Then his age has to play a factor, I mean bones is younger.

But these last 2 games have been great

I’m going to be pushing the trade Naz and Randle narrative this offseason and move Jaden to the 4
