To Debbie Downer that, he can't miss Mason on that play. Wide open under the basket, you have to find that man. Turned out well but even the dunk wasn't clean. If he blew that, the talk would be about how he didn't pass it.
K done venting.

Filthy dunk!

It wasn't a mistake at all. Dunn made the right move taking the ball to the basket himself when having an open line because Plumlee is having a tough time finishing at the rim...and yeah, he is missing point blanck layups at the rim.

We had an example of this in the same game. Dunn passed the ball to Plumlee for an easy dunk/layup and Mason couldn't score. Minute 1:53 in the next vid.



He had more space on the dunk play but even if he gets it, had the defender recovered and fouled him, Mason misses the FT's anyway.

Regardless, it's good to see an aggressive Dunn.
That's why getting Richards would be good. Another young player who get bring energy the stars don't

I am not sold on Richards.

He isn't exactly young (27) and his basketball IQ and awareness looks low to me. No shooting and 0 passing...but he is a banger who is really big and athletic for his size.

He probably is what we need but I hope the price isn't too high.

Richards is more or less a younger slightly shorter version of Javale McGee without the 3 pt shooting and crazy dumb moments that made him famous on ESPN. He's solid, and a definitive upgrade over Nurkic. But he's not going to drastically change anything for us. Best to just look at him as another piece of the puzzle.

I can't NOT think of Don Ramon everytime I see him :lol:

El Chavo/Chespirito is HUGE over here so it makes sense I guess.

Is it well known in AZ? I'd think it is but maybe not :D

Wow I didn't realize he was that old.
In his prime basically so we won't see much development, if any, at this stage.
Most I'd offer is Okogie and 1 2nd.
