Look, small sample sizes are tricky.

Still he has several of the things this team lacks, most importantly: he's a great distributor and playmaker. But his offense, even with the good footwork he has, is gonna be dependent on his 3 point % and he's shooting Curry numbers on this streak, that's going to go down eventually ( and if not, throw the bag at him already lol)

The one elite skill he was supposed to have was the shooting. That he has more than that already is a great sign.

It’s ok to trust your eyes. Everybody who treated him as a bust was wrong, including myself. Happy about it too.
always a jump shot away.

Agree we should keep him, but he's still shooting Curry numbers on similar volume and i don't see that lasting.

I trust my eyes, i think the real answer is more on the middle of the two points. He has a much higher ceiling than anticipated tho

No better feeling than seeing a rookie thrive like this

More spacing creates better offense, who could have guessed

Alright just start him. Maxey and Jared just need to work that much harder defensively. Nurse sent a message starting him over Oubre and not Kyle.

George needs to just be 3 and D with Caleb

I think its more so Oubre can technically be instant offense off the bench more so that Martin or Kyle

****... I went to take my laundry out of the washer and into the dryer, I come back and McCain's gone from like 9 points to 20+?

That offense with Jared and Maxey will be crazy. No George dribbles unless a closeout

McCain looks like Steph out there. Amazing.
