Nique nor Maxine have been bad or extremely bad. I’m not sure what you are watching. Are they home runs ? No. But to call them bad to extremely bad is just plain foolish.

It's not foolish at all.

Nique has the worst VORP in the entire league and has the 5th lowest win shares. That's extremely bad.

Raynaud has the 27th worst VORP but at least he's around mid pack on win shares. That's bad but not extremely bad. Certainly more positive than Nique so far.

Doesn't mean that Nique can't improve but it's not looking good for him and I wouldn't call him a good pickup by any means at this point. He's too old of a rookie to be playing like this. Hopefully he improves with increased playing time and increased responsibilities.

The interesting thing with Nique is his on/off splits are all pretty reasonable still, despite the very poor individual numbers. So dont really know how to marry those 2 data points. Something has to be going right when he's on the floor? Unless he's just sharing the floor so much with Cardwell, he's looking better by proxy.

Anecdotally through the eye test, I think he's looked pretty good on defense. Tries to play the right way on offense, but basically impossible with our current group.

It would be interesting to see how Domas works with our new discount Ben Wallace - two players that pretty nicely complement each other's deficiencies down low (with the exception that both are good rebounders). Neither of them is huge, but the skillsets are all there. Cardwell won't really get in the way on offense and can clean up the defensive issues. Worth a shot.

Yeah I find it an interesting experiment.
