Kris Dunn played really well last night but was atrocious from the floor against the Mavs.  1/9 fg - yikes :o. Oh well, at least he had 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and a block with two turnovers in 21 minutes.  I can't defend this, though -

*facepalm*

Welp, looks like Kris Dunn goofed, hehe :laugh:.

GP II played well, however, so that's good to see.

In the "Good" game Dunn had he had 3 ast. and 3TO. That is not good for a point guard. He doesn't look like he can defend his position either. I guess he has time but I'm glad Danny didn't take him.
Kriss dunn can play defense quite well.

LeCoach don't play no rookies. Cavs bench looks unimpressive.

I was trying to find a Clips thread to talk about their bench. Setting aside Tedosic's truly get-me-a-season-ticket-right-now passing ability, their bench looks so solid.

Lou Williams is like clockwork, a pretty identical replacement for Jamal. Harrel is definitely still improving. Dekker continues to show flashes. I didn't notice Beverly in that game against (the Raps?), but they look absolutely fine overall. Wouldn't be surprised at all if they land in the Top 4. Above Houston. I be willing to have a little TP wager for fun!

Dunn - Last years GM's top pick to be the ROY (47%, 14 GMs)
So much for that.
And ROY Fultz convo in the Fultz vs Tatum thread.

Looks like Batum is out for the season. Huge blow to Charlotte.

Vertical's now reporting 8-12 weeks instead. Still a big hit but man they'll figure out what Monk has to offer a lot quicker.

Watching the heat play. Kelly looks like a good fit next to Whiteside. Kelly is shooting mighty cold tonight.Looking at the Magic, I think that the one year rental of Ibaka set them back. Oladipo and Sabonis turned into Paul George, and the Magic ended up with a late 1st...


Kelly with 7rbs. 4ast. 4 stl. so far...

Who's the Magic's best shooter? Their offense is going to be ugly with all those non shooters.

Kings vs Lakers without Lopez it looks like a YMCA game. Both teams are going to be so bad.

Of all the logos, I would kind of find that fit to be perfect. Magic and Disney go hand in hand in our society.

The Kings aren't going to break 30 points for a half against a bad Lakers defense...

That puts Lamb in the starting lineup. Other kids to watch are Jamal Murray in Denver and Swanigan in Portland. Smith is getting every opportunity to start in Dallas, and Ball in LA.

Cousins and Davis played 30 minutes each tonite against the Bulls, a team of scrubs. Davis had 22FTs. Cousins almost a triple double. Can't figure why these guys played so much.
