I would like Jackson to have free reign one game just so we could be entertained.

One thing I'm starting to notice about Ball is that he gets a lot of extra pass assists. It's fundamental basketball to give up a contested look for an open look, but it seems to happen at least 2 or 3 times in every film of him I've watched. Add in the couple of simple passes to a cutting wing & he gets 4-5 extra assists for being the right link in the chain - not sure if that is a sign of him reading the play or of the system he's playing in.
Gotta say Fox looked better to me in this clip - his D seems more consistent and less opportunistic, and his attacking of the dribble is more consistently towards the rim or a scoring location. Ball put the ball on the floor a couple times, but mostly it was to shift the D - scouts will want to see him using the PnR more IMO (Fox uses this well already).

Some could argue that Monk could fit on that list, but adding him to JR & TJ gives us a platoon of young combos to play the majority of the backcourt minutes.

He was hard to watch the first 8 minutes or so to be honest. You could tell his mind was going 100 mph. Really rusty and just making mistakes and bad plays left and right on and off the ball. I will say he did settle down and started to look like himself, beautiful spin move to get a wide open layup and has cleaned up his jumper form. On his 3 that he made, he went straight up which has become a problem for him, I think he has gotten so used to his turn around fade away jumpers his normal jumper kinda had a fade to it. His 3 point shot was straight up and down and the result was a swish.
He also looked very good defensively but it was Maine so take that one with a grain of salt. Give him another week or so to knock off the rust, I expect to see him and Bolden caught up with everyone come conference play. K said both he and Bolden have done basically nothing for the past 5 weeks.

Any update on Giles returning?

I have not seen him play yet. Do you see him fitting well with Whiteside?
