Crazy to see Dennis Smith Jr on there considering coming out of college defense was an issue for
him.

He improved his defense a lot when he played for Clifford in Charlotte. He had a really good defensive epm.

Makes me want Caruso even more. Him + Suggs in a backcourt would drive opponents nuts.

Man, I've been cheerleading for IHart but I was all about AC before the trade deadline. I still would like for us to pry him away from the bulls.

Could you imagine:

IHart/Mo
Paolo/JI
Franz/AB
Suggs/AC
Murray/Cole

The amount of defense on that roster would be suffocating... and we have the resources to make that happen.

This is honestly a surprising stat to me.

AB is likely a bust based on how we are treating him. Yet, when you look at his tools in the woodshed in isolation....

-38.5% from 3-ball (limited usage, but ask Amen / Assaur how improving their jump shot went this season)
- Top 10 point of attack defender rookie season.

Him and Cole at the very least should have the backup guard rotation cemented. I see AB as the PG with Cole as the G in that scenario.

Current AB is already a potential 3&D player in the NBA. This has good indicators for his floor. In terms of usg % being low...thats going to be an huge uphill battle for him.

AB is really good, and I can't wait to see how much he can grow in the next couple of years. He has defense as his foundation, so that will always get him minutes.

Black looks more and more like a Alex Caruso type of player.

The OKC Thunder kindly ask that you refrain from using Giddy and school girl in the same sentence.

I didn't realize it until the first meeting this season. Paolo has a more well-rounded offensive game.
