That team would 100 percent be a top 25 squad, possibly top 10. Kadary and one or two athletic forwards (Braswell and Q) to go with Jimmy and Cole would have made a huge difference. Benny just isn’t ready yet for a major role.
I will say...I think if we gave Bras the same mins that Cole is getting this year, he‘d disappoint. He’s meant to be a bench guy, coming in to shore up the D and hit an occasional open 3. In a perfect world, we’d have both with Cole playing the Griffin role from last year where he could be sent to the bench if he does what he does every other game. But that's just not an option unfortunately.
Interesting read. Thank you Cusefan0307
He should post that here on the board if he wants to be gang stalked.
those 3 on this team even with woody too..and its a much much better team (assuming they would get playing time...I know, BIG assumption)
Let’s not go overboard on Richmond, as a lot of people on this board tend to do. His last 2 games he is 3-27 from the field with 11 turnovers. His last 4 games, 7-39 from the field. For the year, he is shooting .383 from the field and 7 for 24 from the three. Kevin Willard commented after the game that Kadary was “tired” after handling the pg duties for the 2nd time in three days. Once Aiken returns from concussion protocol Kadary will most likely go back to the bench. Su misses Quincy much more than Kadary.
I watched their last game and he wasn’t starting for Charlotte and you are right, Braswell’s rebounding, assist/turnover numbers are abysmal, even adjusted for 40 minutes vs Cole. His offense is better than Swider’s but his defensive numbers are worse. Sadly, he’s playing less and less the last few games.
