Can I give it to Barton for not playing?

This is a tough one. Kuzma has the best stat line, but I think a lot of his points came when we were up 20 and there was little pressure. Beal did much of the heavy lifting early on when it was close, and Rui was a big factor in the 2nd quarter when the Wizards blew the game open.
I'm going to give it Rui because he needs to be rewarded for playing such a great game from a mental standpoint. Rui was aggressive at the right times, but also kept his head up and made the right passes. His rebounding was solid and he even challenged some shots defensively (though didn't tally a block). If he plays like this every night, he is a starter.

I’m going with Monte Morris. 16pts, 2 threes, 5 assists, 3 steals and ZERO turnovers--and a nice touchdown pass to Beal for an easy lay in--in 33 mins.
Morris is a heady, poised player. The more he has the ball in his hands in the half court, especially now that his offense and 3 pt shot seems to be coming around, the more comfortable I am.
Bonus fact: Together, Morris and Wright played 48 mins with 13 assists and ZERO turnovers.

Yeah, I worry about this as a tank commander. I don't think we are nearly as bad as our record with a fully staffed unit.
Fortunately, Wes is pretty good at poor rotations - a good but not ultimate tank commander.
Too bad there wasn't a Morris/Wright choice. I'll go for Morris to make your point.

Giving it to Rui for the best game I've seen him play in his career. Timely passes, in the right place for the rebound, hit every shot, forced nothing.
Honorable mention for Kuzma auditioning for the team that covets him. Got to drive up those bids, looks like Sactown has a chunky big gap in their payroll next year.

Rui is an excellent scorer.

I agree that was his best. Bro looked like Dr J at times.
