I think that's where I'm getting the feeling he's possibly just a 6th man type in a couple years, maybe lower end starter. Right now he should have every chance to play some being two years in and a high draft pick, and yet he didn't break into the lineup. You have to be concerned. He is very young though. So things could change. Who knows. Not calling him a bust yet. My hopes are dwindling though for him. I got more hope for TJ and Clark to be good/great NBA players.

My hope for Rob HERE is gone. Finch would rather try to teach you how to shoot than teach you how to defend. That's why he prefers Clark. Unless Rob becomes 6'4-6'5'' in 2 years, Finch is just gonna look at him at the end of the bench and suck his teeth. Whatever made Connelly like Rob, Finch just doesn't agree with. Now, from a talent perspective, I trust John Calipari over ANYONE in the Wolves' front office, but this is just a situation where TC when Acapulco with the trade up and selection without really consulting with Finch when in hindsight, staying at 27 and 37 and selecting Shannon and Ajay Mitchell and just going with what Finch wanted since he was gonna be too stubborn to make drastic changes anyway.

I get it. Connelly thought this offseason to give Rob every chance to take over the PG job, you got a guy on AARP and a bunch of SG's who, all are a bit sus handling the ball. (Ant might be the best)

Maybe Ant is our defacto PG going forward? It's not ideal but maybe it works? I just hate putting more stuff on his plate.

If Ant is their idea of the solution (which I've been dreading), then we're doomed.

Ant can be our best player. He ALSO can't be our 2nd best player.

Just for fun... Pooh Richardson's NBA W/L record across three organizations:

203 wins
436 losses

In 10 NBA seasons, his teams lost at least 60 games 4 times... and went 9 - 41 in the strike-shortened season.

I liked Terrell Brandon. He wasn't as flashy as Marbury or Billups even, but he was just super solid with the ball, very low turnovers and still shots it pretty well too.
