Hawks are 2-7 When David “Goliath” Roddy plays 10+ Minutes

We need 1 more wing or to free up Vit to play backup wing minutes cause large minutes to Roddy is untenable
Not going 0-9 is a miracle.
I think that any team that has to give significant minutes to their 13th guy would be in a similar position.
The hawks have a decent foundation with their top 8 or so guys, but SG and C are the only positions where we have a guy who is out of the rotation normally that can fill in and not kill us.
If the hawks make small moves on the margins (mainly at PG and one 3/4 tweener) then we would probably improve our season long win output by 2 to 4 wins
When you’re playing one of the last guys on your bench, it’s because you’re up by a ton, down by a ton, or injured. For us, it’s been mainly because of injury. Roddy isn’t supposed to be on the floor for significant minutes. We’ve been forced to have him in.
Is gallinari washed? If not, I wouldn’t mind signing him for a few minutes at the 4 if Jalen is out. Would be a good vet presence as well.
Not sure if he’s actually better than Roddy at this point though.
Well yeah. Obviously he only sees the floor if there were injuries to the normal rotation. This post is basically saying the Hawks are 2-7 when they have a lot of injuries.
bro is a bad muffin
Backup PF is a big weakness, especially on D. Dre can be a nice change up backup PF when JJ is sitting but he still doesn’t rebound for shit and provides almost zero rim protection. When Dre is your best option at PF and Roddy is the backup, you’re just soft as fuck on D.
Roddy isn’t good… but come on man.
If he plays it means we are missing a minimum of 3 regular rotation players.
The stat really comes down to “Hawks lose when they have several injuries to rotation players”
It’s so obvious we need a backup PG and PF
Watching ASU last night thinking (hear me out) – maybe we pickup skattebo as UFA and slide him into Roddy’s spot ?
Kid could be a real spark plug off the bench.
You guys love to shit on people so .uch. you all can’t shit on Trae no more so now you have another victim. You all used to do tve same statistics to Hunter. “When Hunter plays more than 20 minutes, we loose” ” what is Hunter here for, he can’t even rebound!” Then you all go hunting for a stupid stat like this one. Jesus, enjoy the fucking run we are in. Im happy if we only lose to Denver. The Joker is no joke.
Guys here wanting the perfect 10 man rotation, lmao!
Why do I miss Saddiq Bey?
Roddy plays when JJ does not.
This has more to do with the injuries that requires Roddy to play and less about Roddy himself. He’s a deep bench guy.
I think OP is simply trying to point out that we’ve had to dig deep this year due to injury. Being mad at Roddy would be like blaming the 3rd string QB
