What's wrong with the G League Ignite? Is it injuries? Or did they bite off more than they could chew?

Rafael Barlowe and Richard Stayman discuss the slow start from the G League Ignite who have lost five games in a row, including a 58 point loss earlier this week. Barlowe and Stayman share their thoughts and disagree Ron Holland's play to begin the season. The projected top 3 pick entered Sunday's nights contest shooting only 41 percent from the floor, 15% from deep and 40 percent from the foul line and averaging 5 turnovers per game.

The Big Board duo also cover Matas Buzelis and how his return could impact Tyler Smith, who's been the Ignite's best player so far averaging 18 points per game on 68/64/62 shooting splits and Izan Almansa's struggles.
