We need to run more plays like that for our few shooters... less reliance on Paolo/Franz iso ball would be awesome.

There is something there. Will he have the confidence and work ethic to break through? We shall see.

FURPHY!

That’s one bucket I’ll celebrate for the opposition and a fellow Aussie.

AB has shown enough to be patient with him... but I'd still like to find a quality starting PG for next year. Just need to keep patience with AB while we continue to build.

Another strong summer of work and he could be ready for a breakout next season. I know that’s a classic kick-the-can-down-the-road response, but it could be worth waiting on.

Especially if the team adds a PG and has a bit of an offensive overhaul.

Sadly I agree, he's sucked on offense

Pacers’ defense always gives me such false hope about the capability of our offense. :lol:

S/o to Queen

His jumper looks a bit more fluid than before, and he's still bringing that defensive intensity
