Well, in fairness, we took Mike Pence off their hands. Taking back Mahinmi is the least they can do.

Yeah i've been watching him get at least one jumper blocked per game.
I dont want to sound like im knocking the guy or anything, he is playing great for a rook, its just something he needs to work on.

In the blog post, I suggest pumping the brakes with Beal since virtually all of his improvement has been improved shooting from 3pt range. I still think he's going to be an excellent player, but I don't think he'll continue shooting 60% from 3pt range.

Wow. The difference in 3pt% from December to January is a little insane (19% to 60%). We can't expect something around 60% but we should certainly expect something well above the teens. If Beal can settle in at something in the high 30s, I think we'd all be pretty excited. Optimistically, I'd also expect his 2pt% to increase a bit over the course of the season as he continues to adapt to the league.
Given how he's slowed down the last two games should we be worried about his wrist? He was on a hot streak but that fall has basically put an end to that. Hopefully, that's not something that lingers too long.

for that last night. Limited sample size but I don't agree...(also based on my recollection).
Personal aside -
There is a girl on Jacqui's team that is a strong aggressive athlete but is
helpless with her left hand. It's a shame. I generally like her coach but gotta
say that if I were coaching them in practice, I would not let her continue
to be a one handed player. Even at JV level, she's beginning to struggle
with it. Next year, assuming she makes varsity, she won't be able to get
away with it at all. All you have to do to shut her completely down is
take away her right hand.
Beal is nothing like that.
