That's why it's so frustrating watching this team. It's hard to have hope for any of their young guys when it's crystal clear the coach is way over his head and seems incapable of developing any of them. Lavine still has the same bad habits he did when he got here. Lauri hasn't developed at all. Same with Dunn. At some point it can't simply be that all the players are bad and incapable of improving.

That's the dilemma. Reigning him in or letting him loose and living with the failures. It's kind of an easy decision since this team isn't going anywhere.


I don't think that Pierce has really reigned Trae Young in though. He still takes a ton of bad shots. He still puts forth no effort on Defense. He benefits immensely from playing on a bad team. They will allow him to play through his mistakes. Whenever they become serious about winning they are going to have a bit of a problem where ol Trae is concerned. Right now they don't care as it is all about development.

I agree he hasn't been reigned in. My point is every failure is a teaching moment and from where I sit, it's working.

I haven't stated that Fultz is great yet. You have with Coby White. MANY times in fact.
Coby White wasn't even selected to play in the rising stars game. Everyone who's anyone gets selected to play in the rising stars game.

Moreso someone on bum teams has to score. He does very little to help the team win. Playing him early and allowing him to fire away without impunity, turn the ball over and play shitty defense is one of the reasons they were losing so much early in the season.

Because it doesn't fit the narrative. How convenient of you to do so.

Like you and Fultz?

A player struggling in the first half of his rookie season? Shocking!

Fultz being barely serviceable in this third year? Now that is worthy of discussion.

LTG, are you under the impression players cant improve? You seem to be arguing that what a player is in his first couple months of his career is what he is permanently. If you don't believe that, then stop mentioning the early part of this season. Everyone has already conceded he played poorly to start the season.

3rd year? Once again showing you no nothing. He played a grand total of 33 games in 2 years.

He was injured. White has played all season.

Fultz is a starter on a team headed to the playoffs.
White is a backup on a team headed for the lottery.

My "eyetest" something you pathetically lack tells me that he is a much better basketball player than Coby White.

For one he actually has a position. White does not.

#2 he actually tries to play defense. White does not.

You're not even watching. White plays defense. Much better so than Lavine.

Yes because Carmelo took his team to the playoffs as a 19 year old rookie. His team improved by 26 games during his first season.

Coby White is a bench player on one of the worst teams in the league.

His numbers on the season are putrid.

Terrible shooting % and atrocious assist to turnover rating.

Melo contributed to winning. This kid doesn't.
