Saric as MVP of the rising stars game would be awesome.

Dario is showing off his passing ability.

Looking at the rosters, it's actually astounding how few distributors are on these two rosters.

You basically have Jokic and Russell and that's it. Dario is probably the third best passer in the entire game.

T.J. would have actually brought something to this game that it lacks right now.

McConnell would have 20+ assists easily.

You know Dario might get sold short by a lot of us, even those of us that think highly of him, like me.

I still think he will end up being a terrific bench player, but he is really balling right now, and he is clearly improving.

His rookie season has been very streaky, and he has had some very bad streaks, but he is currently playing the best that he has ever played in the NBA, and he isn't doing it with gimmicks, or just a hot streak from deep.

He is doing a variety of things well right now. Passing, and driving to score points, while continuing to compete on both ends, and on the glass, and shooting well from beyond.

The only small problem I noticed is he is kinda cold and not in rhythm in 1st quarter. Its like he needs to warm up and sweat to reach his hot streak. Hopefully it gets better.

in one interview he said that's the problem when he's coming off the bench

If he turns into a starting caliber stretch/playmaking 4. It's over. Our front court is locked in if that happens.

Saric may not start, but he'll still play a lot of minutes in a lineup like this.

I'm still really shock about how mid season he was just able to add arc on his shot just like that. I dunno maybe its easier than I think it is but it's pretty amazing. His shot was easily the flattest on the team and even though it's inconsistent(sometimes it reverts) he has added significant trajectory to his shot.

^Croatia's beautiful, never understood why it's so underrated as a tourism destination. Coast is as nice as Greece and the inland area and cities are great too, and nothing's overrun by tourists like many places along the Mediterranean. (Y'all should google plitvice park, too, it's like a CGI wet dream that happens to be real).
