Hot take here, but Larry is a better player than Weaver. Much better point guard and a better defender. When Weaver comes back, he will eat into Pope and Larry’s minutes and I don’t think that is a good thing. Also Pope and Larry are great FT shooters. Weaver… isn’t.

I do love Weaver’s hustle and energy, and the way he hits the boards. But I don’t think we are going to win that much if he is getting 25 mpg. Hate to say it because he is probably my favorite player on the team.

Fair points. Weaver's edge is his utterly fearless play late in games. I trust him more than anyone else to get his hands on a crucial loose ball, keep a rebound alive or draw a charge. He's this team's Silas Bolden, and I sense the other guys feed off that.

I was noodling on this postgame as well but I think you went maybe a tad strong. Weaver can still be a very valuable member of this team. At the same time, like you said, his absence has potentially helped us figure some shit out. 

I'm not as sold on Larry as you are. I've liked him in spurts this season. He and Pope both have a bad habit of dribbling the air out of the ball. 

You have a good eye for the game - I think you and I differ a bit here and there in our evals but I think we both agree that this team has enough talent on it to put a decent season together.
