The team hasn't even really been practicing since the 7-8 man skeleton team as been playing in games. They literally haven't had enough bodies to truly practice. Add that to KG and others not playing and where do you expect any improvement in terms of those guys?
This is a good point and gives a little perspective along with the level of talent playing the last few nights is basically d-league level except Wiggins and Bud. That's pretty rough. I'm still gonna say the biggest issue for this team is on the defensive end but man its been a tough season.

Okafor or Towns - a good discussion here. Okafor is sick with his offense, Town is PERCEIVED to have a higher ceiling, better rim protector. BUT--
they moved on to Justice Winslow, who Coach K compared (privately) to DWade, and Jay Bilas comared on the air to Harden. They then discussed that the NBA is a wing league now, and the draft isn't really keeping up with the trands in the game. Intersting. All agreed Winslow is a serious talent.
Mudiay - Bilas sees him as a playmaking point guard, at 6' 5" expects him to go top 4 or 5.
WCS - Billas likes him compares him to DeAndre Jordan, right now he is a defensive specialist, he will grow from there and be in the league "a long, long time". He likes him in the top 7 "in this draft".
I've always liked Bilas. My question is, do we need Winslow more than a big? Wiggs moves to shooting guard, and do we have two future stars?
Watching this team lately it becomes obvious that we shouldn't pass up the best talent no matter the spot if you think it's the best talent. In my mind there is only one absolutely locked in player on Thai team and that is wiggins. Rubio may not be able to stay healthy Bazz same problem. The bigs are a mess of stickiness and injury. Lavine has potential but you can't always bank on that. We need a terrific big really badly but if Winslow can shoot score defnd and be a playmaker? Screw it take him and figure out where to play everyone. I am not saying I believe he is the guy just saying BPA is the way to go for this team and I like some guys on this team on the perimeter that could be the guys at their positions.
