Trez was awesome but I’ll give it to Gafford who was great both offensively and defensively.

For me, Trez. He almost single handedly offset KAT.
I think the most positive thing is how often in our Ws there are good arguments
to be made for >1 person and key contributions by several. Bertans showed up.
And KCP was his usual late/clutch 3.
Gaff was huge, he was my second choice.

I had it exactly that way.

Bot our C's had good games. I'd like to give it to both of them, but if I had to choose one it would be Trez.

I loved Trez’s interview after the game, talking about how he and his father processed games focusing on what he could/should do better. Even more, I loved how he talked about DC and the fans - he wants to give all of himself every night for this city and the fans.
Really thoughtful and solid dude. Extend him now!

11 of 12, 27 points in 21 minutes... holy bleep. Add 3 assists. It's Trez.

I liked the interview as well although one of my own personal beliefs that I think
is potentially important for all of us in our regular lives is this:
It's okay to be your own worst critic,
as long as you are also your own biggest fan.IOW, you need to balance your feelings about yourself.

Gafford if you care about defense. He was not only a primary reason to KAT’s cool start, 0-6 I believe, but his cool finish. He’s the one that got us back into the lead along with Beal. He was 7-10 from the line and 4-4 from the line with 10 boards and three swats.
Trez was extremely efficient from the field, but his defense at time was pretty bad.

Gafford just barely edging Harrell. Almost co-POG, Gafford/Harrell 18-22 in FGs and 45 points, Towns/Reid 17-35 in FGs and 47 points

Both centers. But I voted Bertans since we always win when he scores 15+.

I voted Bertans as well -- he needs the support! & his game was the biggest surprise....

Voted Gafford. He’s been dominant for the last handful of games. All of the sudden he’s back to averaging 16-10-3.5 blocks per 36 on his usual 68% TS. When he’s right, he is far and away our best player IMO. So impactful on both ends.
It’s a great feeling to know that we have an ELITE rim protecting C locked up for his entire prime years.

I'm taking Gafford too. Harrell certainly was in the conversation, but I'll give it to the youngster.

Trez has been great this year but lately it seems like his minutes are lower and lower which is kinda weird to me
