battle and ochai 12-15 from 3

jakobe 14/11/5/2 +31

I'm loving the stat-line from JaKobe. Sometimes I forgot we drafted him first round.

They saying they never seen the worst team play so good

Flush it and move on to the next game!

Well, now we're just the 25th worst team.

point differential looking good......compare it to Wizards, Pelicans, Jazz....these tanks are not the same.

The truth about this team is if our shooters axtuat hit open shots consistentlt we wouldn't be this bad. If dick, Jakobe, quickley when healthy, battle, ochai, we're actually all reliable shooters and shooting around 40% consistently qed be a lot better as a team. Cleveland for example has lik 8 guys 38% or better.

Add Barnes and Barrett around 35% and were probably in ghe playoffs. It's just our shooting and spacing has-been bad in general because guys are not as efficien4vas expected

Flanders just comes in & balls on demand.

Mitchell hogging camera time after his 0 point game

Lol

Jakobe is impressive similar to Gradey he is clearly more than a shooter and I see the signs of a potentially good defender

that was our 9th road game in the last 12. nuts.

Jakobe’s on ball defence is a pleasant surprise. He showed small signs of it in his other games but this time he had the main assignment of guarding a bonafide scorer in CJ and more than held his own.

Always good to see a rookie be able to do that.

yes, his defense was very impressive.

I have been impressed with Battle's defense as well.

Battle has such a compact stroke. Looks like an effortless flick of the wrist. From what've seen he's a keeper. Great move to take Mitchell out of the starting line-up. 5 starters who can score should be a baseline requirement for this team to help with spacing.

He also seems to have all the tools to develop into a good offensive player. Needs to be put on that Gradey Dick regimen

masai and bobby didnt just knock this draft outta the park

they knocked it outta the milky way

JaKobe's definitely gonna be a player.

Worst case he hustles, gets after it defensively and you can see he is clearly trying to play the right way. As he gains more rhythm, experience & develops -- I'm already pretty much certain he's gonna become a good & very valuable player in the rotation at minimum.

hes better than gradey at this same stage of their rookie seasons

kinda scary considering gradey has shown flashes of an all-star

Battle may end up sign a full contract before the season end ,
