Tristan looks good rolling to the basket.

Coach Keefe is a hall of fame caliber coach next to what Nepo WUJ was…the team is much better managed.

Really didn't expect a win tonight :lol:

Gotta give some credit, or blame, to OP making his first thread.

What a great win.

Deni was amazing, Kispy showed a lot, and Vuk — I already love this guy. I’m seeing some skills — how about that spin move into the paint and then the soft-touch finish?

If not for Poo and his fourth-quarter stinkitude — get. the. ball. out. of. his. hands. — this would’ve been a double-digit win.

Loved the spirit. Loved the camaraderie.

Jared Butler!

17-3-3-2 on 10 shots. Should be our starting PG next year.

Vuk is a lot more mobile and lighter on his feet than I expected. Has a chance to become a good defender.

Lots of positives tonight. I am still in the 3rd and Deni made such a sweet drive I was like....wow. gotta make a vid on that

Bench mob was impressive. Butler with a very nice game. Gill holding up well vs Giannis. Tristan looking good at everything except shooting 3s. Needs to hit the weights though.

Poole is actually effective when he focuses more on playmaking.

If Kispert ever gets his 3pt shot back he is going to be quite a valuable scorer.

If we don't draft one he should certainly be backing up Poole.

Agreed. He looks like an actual NBA rotation player.

Missed the game, but the box score indicate that Keefe is a literal wizard squeezing these perfomances. A definite 'a lot more than the sum of its parts'.
Also - a win with such horrible 3% - amazing.

Keefe is awesome. loudest voice in the arena, calling out defense all game long. Teaching fundamentals, reminding players to keep their hands up etc.

Deni is a grown man this year, really proud and impressed.

Vuk improved a ton with Partizan, exactly what I hoped and expected by leaving him with the champs. They'd make him work. Better still his body is tuned up, better core, not thick around the middle, quick on his feet. His defensive fundamentals are much better. He hasn't found his range but he's going to dangerous when it starts to fall.

Poole trying to distribute is a much better player.

And Butler, high BBIQ, effort and toughness.
