Carter's rebounding has it for me.
Then Fultz for the 3rd and what Steele called the "Fultz-quarter" in the 4th
F-Wagner for mittens given the all around play.

Isaac for a lollypop. Man was he awesome off of the bench in limited minutes.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but can we look at Suggs vs. Fultz objectively, please?

Vest - Fultz. I am seeing some flashes of a future, perennial type All Star in Fultz and at one point there was a look by Banchero on the court like he saw it too. Next steps for Fultz, go all out in the 4th and stop over-thinking. Go all out every offensive possession. At this point I've seen enough plus defense to know he has it, so even take 10-20% energy off defense if he has to for a full on offense.

Cummerbund - WCJ. A big man who did it all and won the game.
Mittens - Franz. Led the team in scoring and did it efficiently.

I loved the three Fultz took in the third. Guarded but got height and swished it. Winning NBA PGs make that shot.

Easily Wendell for me, even if just for the rebounding effort alone. Multiple of those boards felt huge throughout the game.

Cummerbund - Franz

This game had a throw back feel to it. Lots of physicality. JI was really good in his limited minutes. I thought Cole played well. Gave the vest to Fultz for his game management, but WCJ and Franz played great.

WCJ - came up huge in the fourth particularly with grabbing big boards against a solid rebounder in Duren. Played good defense throughout.

Fultz - Got off to a cold start offensively, missing gimme's around the rim (probably would've had 20+ on a different day) but ended up getting hot and providing just the lift we needed exactly when we needed it. Played good defense all game.

Franz - Just a solid game from Franz. Would've been better if he didn't get that T and spare me the elevated heart rate at the end of the game

Honorable mention: JI. Squad just looks different with him on the floor. Dude seems to be everywhere.

First it was looking like Fultz for vest but I got to give it to Wendell for his beastly rebounding and of course that put back winner.

Fultz with the cummerbund, was key in getting us going finally in the 3rd.

Franz with the mittens.

I do want to give a shout to Cole for a good 2nd half and Isaac who gave us excellent minutes.

I can't recall off the top of my head the last time a player who hit a game-winning shot didn't win the vest.

Yea I'm pretty sure it's usually an automatic vest.

In a game decided by defense he was our best defender. The game winner is just a cherry on top.
