+1 Booker - We saw a bit more iso-Book than the previous 2 games but we also saw a ton of off-ball action from him in this game. He was efficient, passed the ball well and hit some daggers for us. He's certainly playing up to his max contract without the increased scoring production which is the amazing part.
+1 Oubre - 4 fouls (and a T iirc) and was non-factor for at least the 1st half of the game but game back in the 2nd half with his patented energy, dynamism and just the ability to force change in us and in the other team. I'm not always a fan of his game but when he's on, he can be the best player on the court for us even with Ayton and Booker on the floor at the same time.
+1 Saric - It's been a bit of a roller coaster for me with Dario. I was a big fan of the trade when it happened because I was always a fan but I just didn't see the his impact until the last two games. He played solid D against Jokic in the last game despite looking severely undersized and in this game, he was massive for us hitting our guys with great passes, hitting from the 3 and rebounding extremely well in the absence of Ayton.
+1 Kaminsky - I was one of the few people who really liked this signing initially because of his ability to spread the floor, his fit with Ayton offensively and also the structure of his contract. But I never imagined he would be this good for us. I didn't watch a ton of Frank before he got here (4 seasons with Charlotte, who could blame me?) so I didn't realise the breadth of his offensive versatility, especially his passing until now. He has his flaws defensively but he's been our most consistent big man imo. Again, his passing and aggressiveness was on show against the Clippers.
+1 Carter - Another guy who I liked in the JJ trade (saw him as a poor man's Pat Bev) but I didn't anticipate he would be so confident handling the ball and even creating his own shot. He outplayed Pat Bev and really put the pressure on the D with his offensive abilities (that spin move down the lane on the fastbreak was

) His D is as expected and I loved the attitude, energy and swag that he brings. He's never going to be an elite passer but he's WELL on his way towards becoming a Pat Beverley with more experience.
+1 BAEnes - The guy is a giant. A wall. An absolute beast of a screener and he just takes up so much space. I love how much grit I get from him when he's on the court. He's not out there trying to be a Dwight Howard and demanding the ball. He's just out on the floor doinng what he does best and sticking to his role. I feel like we finally have a guy/enforcer on the team that you just don't want to mess with as a member of the other team and I think the absence of this enforcer type is what gave us that soft reputation over the past decade. I know we had the Morri and they seem to be the type that would fight but I really feel like we haven't had that type of guy on our team since we had Shaq that would really put you in the dirt. BAEnes is that guy now.
