Jrue emerging as the #2 is an interesting development. I think he is. He’s more well rounded of a player than Khris. He’s been excellent.

I hope bud gives Nwora or Merrill a chance to break into the rotation.
Someone made a point that Nwora has no idea where to be on defense. It showed and Bud looked ready to send him home.

After Bud let loose on him for gambling for a steal, Nwora locked in, covered his assignments, hustled his butt off, and gave a few real good minutes.
His length and quick hands give him a chance to be a passable defender.

It will be important to first find out why this year didn't work.
I hope we will be seeing this gif everyday from now on.Matches Malone wrote:

Yeah, could be, I just noticed a few times and it was like he was completely out of the defense, like wrong side of the court out of the defense. Then hits that three and Bud was right in his grill. I think there is something there for sure, just not sure it is something this season, but let's see.

Lol. The entire free world knows why this year isn’t going to work. I’ll give you a hint; the Houston Rockets are a joke...

He has defensive talent. He was a solid defensive player in college and a good rebounder. He wasn't someone who was totally clueless, like Jabari Parker. He just needs to learn how to play defense in the NBA... I also really like how he responded to Bud's coaching. He was out of control on D, Bud yapped at him, he settled down and was much better. That one steal was some good stuff.

He’s doing something similar to what Jimmy did in Minnesota, spent the first 20 games or so just trying to fit in, but at a certain point it all clicked and he just took **** over. COVID derailed Jrue’s season so it came a bit later on but it’s happening now.
If there wasn’t a freaking juggernaut in Brooklyn I’d feel pretty good about our title chances.

Adding even the Bucks version of Toni Kukoc to this team would complete it. Other than Luka who is out there that should be on our radar? Who would that be? Kyle Anderson?

Can't go there with you Sid. Bobby Jones was a HOF player, known for his defense. I think we just need Tucker to be our Scott Williams and we'll be good.
Portis has to fill the Robert Horry role.

funny thing is: Toni was past his peak in his first NBA season. in Europe he was this Jrue that we saw last night. dominant player at defense who could defend all 5 positions and at offense can do whatever he wants. but before his first nba season someone (manager or Bulls) told him that he needs to add weight for nba. and je did. he was never same again. he had solid nba career but he had God talent before that addition of weight.
now, maybe he did need weight in that 90's nba. but he would not need weight in today nba. its such a shame. he was born 30 years too early.
