    You can massively improve defense by getting rid of Buddy or by surrounding him with defense-oriented people. And I cant see him going with the starting 5 ever again, given that Mathurin is not going back to the bench and he needs a ton of touches as is. Seriously, if you want Turner/Mathurin/Tyrese to still be effective on O, your starting SF and PF need to be 80% locked-on-defense players.

    I'm all in on bringing John Collins here after digging deeper into comments he's made re: Nate McMillians emphasis on personal responsibility, and finding out more about his upbringing as a military brat. He's got the talent. He's the got the right attitude. He's Pacer material imo.

    Little surprised Tyrese said that he was concerned a little bit about lifting weights possibly hurting his jump shot?

    Literally zero chance that'd ever happen. That's an old wives tale that's been debunked 30 years ago.

    Baseball players used to believe that in the 70s and going into the 80s until Mark Mcguire hit 70 home runs after putting on like 50 lbs of muscle and after Barry Bonds hit 74. Look at rookie Bonds and Mcgwire and their last couple years in the league. They looked like bodybuilders and it INCREASED their bat speed not hindered it.

    Michael Jordan started lifting weights after they lost to the Pistons in 7 for the 3rd straight season. 6 championships later I'd say he made the right decision. His jump shot got better every year and by 1998 he didn't drive to the basket nearly as much. It was all mid range jump shots.

    If Tyrese puts on 15-20 lbs of muscle these next 2 years he could literally be in the conversation for mvp of the league. He's SKINNY and He still effectively drives. I love it when He takes it to the rack.

    If Tyrese and Ben Mathurin both put on 15-20 lbs of mostly muscle this team will ABSOLUTELY make the playoffs. Not play in. Playoffs.

    When Mathurin fills out his 20 year old frame he'll be literally unstoppable. Haliburton and Mathurin have the potential to be as effective a duo as Jordan Pippen. IF they put on 15-20 lbs of muscle this off season.

    Lifting weights will HELP his jump shot not hurt. Every player in the NBA is on a strength and conditioning program.

    If this team lives in the weight room this off season they will get off to A GREAT start. GUARANTEED

    I'm just glad we're not where we were at end of last year with Brogdon trade looming and Myles questions of contract and whether he can be healthy a whole season or if he can actually play with Tyrese. We don't seem to have those huge question marks, that to me is a huge step forward in this rebuild. Now the focus is just adding a final piece to the starting lineup at the forward position via draft. Walker or Whitmore in lottery and extend Tyrese. That to me is successful off season.
