Pope aside my personal DO NOT BRING HERE NEXT YEAR.

Guys that can't dribble or have loose handles. Like - enough with the Jasper's, Chandlers, even Otega was super loose. (If they come back then so be it, but bring in guys you can rely on first)
Guys that can't fight through a screen, no thanks
Guys that are already injured, pass please- we need healthy dudes and a history of good health
Guys that cannot shoot at all, I love Mo and what he did at the end but his liability when he shot a 3 was insane. Same with Jelly, the last 2 weeks - SO BAD.
Slow lateral defenders, if they can't stay in front of their man at d2 U then pass. We are poorly coached on D anyways don't get me a guy that is gonna make us play catchup.

This needs to be looked at like going in to a relationship and we need to KNOW - we can't fix them (or don't have the staff/coach to do so) and we are not going to be able to deal with them half broken.

Agree with it all. Hopefully the change in assistants leads to better defense. I dunno if Fox or Brooks was the defense guy, but they weren't cutting it (Fox hasn't left yet, IIRC, but maybe soon). Offensive incapability aside, any team as athletic as us that's worth its salt should be able to defend a PnR and screening action.
