Couldn't agree more with this statement. These guys came in touting what they were going to teach. Thad was freezing out other players in favor of his ugly 15 footer.

Rubio can't come back soon enough. So hard watching this team play the last 20 games without a true PG.

I also learned I am never trusting Cam ever again with a scouting report his two "loves" Thad Young and Stauskas have been dog shit

At least the future looks secure. I'm very impressed with our 4 guys who should play in the rookie - sophomore game. Add another good player this draft and we can take off.

Thad's too slow to guard SF's and too small to guard PF's. Buds to slow to guard anyone.

Even thought AB looked decent tonight but he needs to attack more and become more consistent. I don't understand why he dosen't but the ball on the floor more he was very successful in college with that. Also if we cut a player to add that Center that I can not spell we should cut Hummel

True, other than the fact that Utah focused on Baz and Wiggins in the closing minutes. They pretty much left Thad alone, and it was a hell of a good plan judging by the results.

I really do think we'll win a pretty good clip once Rubio returns, so at least these losses help secure our lottery pick next year...

I know its early but we need someone to develop into a late game beat a guy off the dribble scorer. Could that be Lavine or Wiggins I hope so. But this game reminded me of last year where we need to run our offense around a post player and the defense just focused on the blocks.

I am encouraged by this game, I am not happy with the loss but there is some real development in our young guys. I was hard on Mo this game but he has been a positive IMO this year

This is another game where you shouldn't believe that the kids are learning anything.
