At what point is Fran going to actually manage a team and turn Payton into a teammate vs a black hole chucker?
So Fran just keeps letting Payton chuck up shots?

- Start date
Its hard to believe he's averaging 16 pts per game. Between Feasting on schools like New Hampshire and putting up 15-20 shots per game, and a permanent greenlight, I guess nearly anyone can average 16ppg.
I like the guy, but he needs to be benched.

I'm not sure Payton can play in Europe at this point, forget the NBA.
Can't play D. Poor rebounder. And now just chucking up one miss after another. Yet continues to get heavy minutes.
Looks eerily similar to the way Kirk manages his poor performing chosen QB1s.

Dix should be option #1 and Payton should come off the bench for Koch.
Why can't he try to give Tadjo some minutes? He's raw, he's also on the roster.

Agree, let Tadjo stay in until he fouls out and let him get his five minutes.
The one thing Fran doesn't do is try to play the season strategially for long run. On a team full of light-weights and below the rim athletes, Tadjo stands out. Traore also, but Tadjo is bigger.
We need to be able to rebound and not let every 7'fter we play have a career game like that Utah center did
The 4 guard lineup is not working. Harding and Payton are huge liabilities in 4-guard lineup.
Anyway, I'm sure Fran will manage to get us around 0.500 in conference.
Harding is fine. Sandfort absolutely stinks and if he’s not hitting shots brings nothing to table. Harding plays d. Sandfort x2 are slow, unathletic and horrid defenders. Each deserve to come off bench for 7-10 minutes at most.
Not the first time, look at Utah State. He was 1/13 from three with an injured wrist. Probably shouldn't have played or at the very least allowed to shoot that much. May have actually won that game.
Agree with a lot of the comments above. Hope he slowly figures out he has to be a teammate first, and then maybe he'll realize he needs to be realistic about the NBA. (Is Cordell still playing in Europe?)
