Keon Ellis

I don't follow. Monk/DDR/LaVine have all played well to start the year in spite of Russ/Dennis struggling so far. Keon had foul trouble for sure, but he's absolutely playing a muted role because Dennis/Russ are on the team. And Carter is just in the shadow realm at this point.

And I hate coaches that nitpick a young guy to death when he makes a mistake (Did IJ even make a mistake last night), but then vets are allowed to play through any errors they might have.

The excuse with Carter too has been his offense is soooo unbelievably bad that even if he's a ++ defender, it's not worth getting him on the court. And yet, Russ/Dennis are taking a ton of shots, being inefficient with those shots and turning the ball over at a high rate. So at least so far the "stabilize the offense" of us absolutely 1000% needing a "real PG" this summer has been a failure.
I think Russ and Dennis have occasionally made those guys look good while burying our young guys. Having a PG helps allowing Monk do what he does best, for just one instance. Same with DDR not overplaying. We're stuck with LaVine for time being.
