JJB peaked in 2011. Devin a couple years before that. They will probably improve shooting % and play better than we have seen so far but it isn't a given. Devin doesn't look confident or locked in. Schroeder abused him last night and he's had off the ball lapses all year.

I don't think either has much trade value, Harris maybe some, with those contracts. Both should be stretch waive candidates this summer if the extra 7mil or so is the difference between signing a prime FA or not. Glad we have Jenkins on a cheap deal. He should get some of those minutes by next season.

I still think Harris' and Barea's problems are Felton and Williams.
Felton has elevated his game to become a core, and at times goto, player which has singlehandedly diminished Harris' and Barea's roles and even Parsons' to some degree.
DWill is playing above expectations.

Barea, Harris and Parsons all seem lost in terms of understanding roles.

This is a good thing...Parsons needs to get more involved and the other two just need to find a new niche on this team.

Yup, and I wouldn't be surprised to see one of those guys shipped before the trade deadline because of it... We knew D-Will and Wes were going to dominate the guard positions, but Felton has been gobbling up the rest of the minutes at about the same rate that he was gobbling up cheeseburgers a couple seasons ago.

LOL
I'm beginning to wonder about the closing lineup as the season progresses and the rotation tightens.
Felton could very easily fill the JET and Carter 6th man role but it will be interesting to see if he becomes part of the closing lineup over Parsons or someone else.
RC seems to be falling in love with Felton and understandably so.
