Along with Garland out... Okoro, Wade, and LeVert still out.

The rookie with the start tonight.

I'm kinda of interested to see how he does.

Tyson and CPJ both looking reasonably good.

Encouraging night for Tyson. Just seeing his activity level out there, despite having a nominal scoring, he looks like someone who could fit well with the starters.

Was really impressed w Tyson tonight. A lot of it’s the defense and rebounding, but I liked some of the stuff he showed on offense even if he only scored the 4 points. He actually looked like he was synergized within our system.

His floor to be an NBA rotational player is higher than I expected. For him to be a component, just want to see him work on his shooting and finishing around the rim.

I loved the lob to Mobley

Yeah, Tyson flashing good role-player play when Okoro and Wade are out is amazing. Just in time for the trade deadline too, either giving us confidence in our depth or raising his value in a trade.
