Hard to do with Sasha, as Brown does not seem to trust him yet. His conditioning should be improving by now.

He's still got to get used to the fluctuating minutes. Twice in this game he was set to check in and then sit. Mental adjustments mainly, but it will take time.
Think Fox really likes playing with him, just seems to click.

Yeah, Sasha has very high bbiq and I'd like to see him get some more minutes. I feel like the last few games we've made runs when he checks in.

You can see his team defense and smarts are decent, but its still going to be blow bys that let him down or simply not being able to move his feet quick enough.
Think he has made strides of improvement here though so kudos to the coaching staff.

Just waiting for that game that he lights it up. Think it will come on this home stand. Also at the moment theres a log jam and

Perhaps the staff were also lightening his load tonight with tomorrow night in mind
Barnes 26min
Lyles 23min
Sasha 10min
McGee 7 min

Zubac and Theis play all the minutes at the center
Kawhi, PG, and Harden combined for 117 minutes tonight versus Barnes, Keegan, Fox for 93
Kevin played 17 so he will be fresh and the benches should be good to go.
Need to send some kudos to the Blazers for pushing Kawhi, PG, Harden into so many minutes on the first night of a B2B
