Jamal Crawford played for 9 or 10 teams in his career. Not a slight on him, he was a lights out ball handler and scoring machine at times, but he might be not the best example for why a team should retain Bones. The biggest challenge for him is similar to Bones’, defensive liability due to his build— very easy to isolate and beat up.
Minus FOUR starters, they put up a fight, but The Bucks were too much for them. Of what we were able to get back home in time to see, Bones did have some nice incredibly brazen layups and assists. Just wish they coulda still pulled it off.
I've said for a long time I thought Bones was Immanuel Quickley 2.0. If you've paid attention, Quickley has developed himself into a very good defensive player through hard work in the gym (getting stronger) and just determination to be a better defender. Quickley and Bones have similar bodies and games. If Quickley can do it, no reason Bones can't.
I know. I was just offering IMO was closer comp. Also, that Bones could certainly develop into a sound defender in spite of his size a la Quickley.
