Lol. I'm serious though.
Vogel is not the problem. The issue here is the fit and too many players with overlapping skills. What we need here is more dirty work guys and players that will complement our Big 3. That, or a trade of 1 of them.
Either way, it's how they work that's the issue. It's kind of mishmash unit of individuals. Booker needs to take a back seat to KD and Beal needs to accept a spot coming off the bench.
Has any team won a chip with a 3-guard starting lineup not including a PG? I don't think so.
As I have mentioned previously the biggest need is to get bigger. That specifically is directed at the starting lineup. Last years team suffered from getting less shots than their opponents a nightly basis. We also shot better from the field than our opponents. We also did not do well on fast break points so why not have everyone onboard to get the defensive board. The size issue cannot be fixed by Vogel. The effort level should be solved by Vogel. He really seem to have issues in the locker room. That said I do not like Fizdale at all and questioned Kevin Young's hire as lead assistant. Once I hired Vogel I would have let Young walk. Someone is causing a fracture in the locker room and that has to be fixed. Is it a coach or is it a player?
If they dump the 3 guard offense while getting someone in the mold of Jaden McDaniels that is willing to bring heat every minute of every game we might have a chance to turn this thing around with Vogel.
Well someone like Filipowski can dish pretty well for a big, with a bit of range too. He can slot right in at our 5 and produce to some extent. I wouldn't complain if we could aquire Dunn as well. His defense-Herb Jones like would be a Godsend on this team.
If we insist on keeping the Big 3 together then we need to move Nurk and get another 1st this yr. OKC seems like a great spot for him although they're doing quite fine thus far.
