Claude and JJ are the same player.  I get liking what he can do, but it's awfully similar to what we did with Mintz and JJ together.  He's not a good defender either.

Watkins is great.  If he was the SF I could live with it if the other 2 weren't the guards.  He can't shoot either.  He does everything else average to good.

It appears Red is making a lot of the same mistakes Hop did at UW.  After his first year Hop thought he needed more athleticism. His offenses were always terrible.  I see the same thing happening here.  The pieces are too similar

Between JJ, Claude and Watkins that would be 3 guys who combined for 40 shot attempts, shot 30% from 3 and combined for 9 turnovers last year.  Watkins is the only one of the 3 that can defend.

Love Ballard though.  I'd be really happy with that pickup.

That said it screams of a team that looks better on paper than real life.  It would be the equivalent of playing Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal, and Paul George together in the NBA.  All of them need the ball to be effective.
