The most important four positives we can take away from this bad start to the season: - Ingram is still as amazing as ever, a top level player that can certainly play in the role envisioned for this season - Alvarado can handle a starting role and play effectively and reliably - Yves Missi is a legit addition to the team, he will be amazing even just this season - Brandon Boston, he is the best player we didn't even know we had, certified bucket ... welcome to the team!
If he can continue to play well on the defensive end, he can be a perfect rotational player. Especially with Dejounté out for a while, he can offer some of the strengths of a long guard that can score well and offer resistance at the defensive end. His playmaking I'm not too sure about yet, but everything else looks very promising.
I wouldn't call it a train wreck season just yet, but some of the 3th and 4th quarter periods we saw lately were definitely train wrecks in their own right. If Ingram gets doubled, they need to have someone else make a play out of that. Normally it would be Zion, or CJ, or Dejounté .. even Herb can act on those instances. If they simply keep moving the ball until a player is in a positional advantage, the outcomes would be tons better. The problem is, outside of maybe Alvarado and Hawk, nobody is really used to handling this much responsibility on ball. Brandon Boston seems like someone that can handle his own and provide this, but he isn't completely integrated into the team yet. He does not have the chemistry yet with all the other players, despite being obviously very talented.
A hidden gem

He's honestly been so much fun to watch. We have a real rotation if and when we actually are healthy.

Boston is a bright spot no doubt. His size and IQ will help. Now is the time to fix the IF and the BUTS.
He’s really good. Wonder why he wasn’t recruited higher or got a real chance until now
"comfortability" is a word that needs to die
One of the bright spots in this train wreck we’re calling a season
We’ve had a lot of bright spots just no production. Hawk breakout, missi already starting, bi shooting 3s. Injuries just took everything down
