OK, let's do this again.

Boatright, Daniels, Giffey, all improved under Ollie.

As for Amida, have you seen him play lately?

It's the same Amida. His game is just better made for the NBA maybe. But, it's the same Amida.

I would have been fine if Purvis and Brimah didn’t improve and just stayed the same, they both got worse under Ollie.

Larrier, Samuels, Enoch, Jalen too. No improvement would have been awesome, getting worse not so much.

Nah. None of them got worse. None of them got better though...and JFC his last name is Samuel, not Samuels.

Why on earth would they trade their starting front court
Turner and Sabonis can't play together, they're both 5's. The most played lineup with Turner and Sabonis last year played 48 minutes the entire season

Like navery12 said, they play the same position. But also, Sabonis is on the last year of his rookie deal. If they don't trade him, he will become a restricted free agent at the end of this season. Pacers will have to match whatever crazy offers he gets on the open market in a light free agency class or they will lose him for nothing. They also drafted another young center in the mid first round.

We can go through history and see guys who never improved and compare to guys who did.

As for Samuel, the height of his basketball capability came in 2014. He would never reach that level again. Under anyone. Likely even under John Wooden.

This is so ridiculous it's funny. Getting worst? LOL they both got better fact is both were minimal at best. Both were so limited in the skills needed to move to their next level, especially things that couldn't be taught but need to either be natural or up to the person himself to make the improvement. One couldn't hold on to the dribble or the ball when going to the hoop, God forbid KO and the staff teach him that. The other blocked shots ok (let's not jack off on 2.5 a game for a career for a guy who never got a rebound in which he missed the attempt at blocking the shot) nor could he even finish a freaking jump hook on the low block, lucky if it even got to the rim. I was there in a "fall session" in which an assistant worked for an hour on the jump hook at that spot when he was a sophomore and I'm sure that's not the only time they tried. AB had no natural gifts whatsoever other than the blocked shot and couldn't guard a 6'7" Wagner guy on the block who was more physical and smarter, that's who he was. Not very coachable at ALL. Larrier still stinks and he didn't want to put forth the effort if you saw anything other than that you weren't watching. It was like having a colt out there waiting to fall again he was so thin as well as the farthest thing from physical. Samuels, gees he went to a good coach and still was the same limited guy right?

KO sucked as a coach to blame him for wither of these guys are people who just can't stop hammering him for whatever worthless reason.

LOL. Both guys are so limited yet both will have compiled NBA minutes by end of this season. THE NBA.

Not worth it, you're sure the only reason he wasn't good was KO. Same with Larrier which is even more of a laugher. Yet Bazz, Boat, Giffey and Sender you won't answer. Not worth the time.

What do Bazz, Boat, and Giffey all have in common? Don't know who Sender is so can't include him...

I blame the coach for not developing Brimah. Nobody developed under Ollie
Wait, Glenn Miller was the big man coach who worked with AB all the 4 yrs. Anyway, GM is on to bigger and better things now

Philip Nolan actually started over an NBA player. Nice story for his grands.

Also who was the poster who watch the pick up games and called freshman Brimah a 'Praying Mantis' when he arrived on campus? It stuck with me his whole career and still does seeing that vid.

TSam wouldn't have become a star player anywhere or under any coach. He was a good backup guy to have, but he was pretty much already at his ceiling when he arrived at UConn. He shot better from 3 at Penn and USF, but the sample size was quite small.
