Disappointed we lost though, that NBAD team stinks something serious, really surprised we didn't win. Also saw Thon hit a 3 finally, hooray.
Similar to the last game. Definitely forced things offensively at times. Went 1/4 on threes and had a decent hook shot. Can't remember if he hit any jumpers. Was very active on defense and around the boards.
Yeah offensively he is pretty much useless unless someone sets him up or it is a follow up. And that is okay. He probably owes about 10 points to Vaughn and Brogdon for setting him up for dunks. He gets the ball in good position but tends not to have any idea where the basket is relative to where he catches the ball. I'm a bit concerned he won't be able to take advantage of his ability to beat his man down the court because of his hands and ability to find the hoop.
Defensively, gave up way too many uncontested shots in the paint, but overall was very active. He is a MUCH MUCH better rebounder than I had thought. Really, really active, great at getting a body on a body and getting his head back around. Really thought he would be piss poor there.
Overall, I think he is going to be a player, I am thinking Henson with a motor right now.
