Chief’s Briefs - Buffalo Edition

Let's see if Hawkins and Jackson can actually stay on the floor and avoid injuries going forward. I would also like to see if Hawkins is as good as advertised. So far, he has done nothing to prove it.

It’s really more than just being present, it is how long will it take to be 100% again. Additional replacing 2/5ths or 40% of the starting line-up may create the need for chemistry adjustments. In short, it is great they are coming back but in the short term there will likely be some transition bumps in the road.

True about chemistry adjustments, BUT, if AJ and JH are as good as we expect this year those adjustments will be much easier.

Looking at the positives created by the injuries, AK, DC, NA, HD and JC are getting a lot more time on the floor than they might otherwise have received and that should be beneficial for them and the team as they enter the December games.......if, that is, they settle down and get more comfortable.
