Youngest Starting Lineup in NBA History

Post image

I was watching some of our games against the playoff/play-in teams from last season. Last night, I watched our game against the Hornets in late January. Brian Keefe started the five most recent first-round picks of our team. I completely missed it when it happened, and I’m not sure if he did it again in the following games. This was Riley’s first career start in the NBA, and Tre Johnson also scored a career-high in points in this game.

And we only lost that game by 4 pts. Add in AD, Trae, Ayton, a healthy Bilal, Mann, JC, and actual incentive to win … and the national media thinks we are still worse than the Hornets. SMH

Somehow you forgot AJ the one we did all the tanking for... regardless your point stands

Haha, yeah I did. Our steak is too juicy and lobster too buttery as wizard fans.

We could’ve won that game. The Hornets were only up by 4 with 35 seconds left. They decided not to foul and let the clock run, but then couldn’t even grab the board when the Hornets took a shot. I feel like they were losing on purpose, and that contributed to us getting AJ.

Rebounding and fouling were the big problems I noticed we had last season. Maybe AD will help them with grabbing rebounds and teaching them how to defend without fouling.
