Reverting to the Mean - Jazz at Wolves GDT

[Phenom]

Joe's passes are a thing of beauty.

[Q-is-here]

What a bounce pass by Ingles to Beringer. Great hands by Joan. Man, I wish we had Jingles in his prime.

Some ferocity by Baby Bear

[FNG]

The only drama left in this one is will Joan get a rebound.

How the mighty have fallen! Kyle Anderson in a WCF rotation two seasons ago and now coming off the bench for....Utah.

[Q-is-here]

Leonard Miller should really be on a re-building team getting meaningful minutes as a scoring PF.

I have not been a huge fan of Randle, which was probably more on the way Finch was using him, but damn does he look good when he plays defense and realizes he isn't a point guard (trying to ball handle out of sticky situations) and is actually best at drive and kick and hitting open threes. Having the team look to actually team rebound makes a massive difference in the defense as well.

I agree. But he still turned the ball over way too much last night - 7 of them in only 26 minutes.

Jaden is good

Yes - and getting better. I love how he’s getting involved more in the offense. Some of that is Finch but a lot of it is Jaden figuring things out.

Dillingham has to start hitting some damn shots. I thought that's all he did at Kentucky!?

Yes, I want to see him start hitting his perimeter shots. But I remember when social media mob was excoriating him for not finding in on his drives. He seems to have gone a long way towards shoring up that part of his game. The perimeter shooting will come. It’s something he’s always done very well (not just sort of well). He’s trying to learn the PG position at the NBA level and that’s not easy. One step at a time. How many years before Jaden McDaniels developed the really impressive offensive game he’s shown so far this season? I’m pleased that Rob had no turnovers last night. He was aggressive and pretty effective defensively as well. He’d be better (and shoot better) if he had the chance to play with Ant and Jaden on the floor with him.
