I wonder if he’s with the team yet. Probably not but hopefully he plays with the GoGo tomorrow night.

Alex Sarr needs an offseason practicing shots 3 feet from the rim. He misses so many easy shots!

Kispert makes so many silly turnovers for a 4 year NBA player. After Kuz, he is next on my must trade wish list…

When our young guys look bad, they look BAD. Gotta trust the process I guess.

Putrid shooting night for Sarr
He keeps spinning like he’s a ballerina and bricks it every time so far.
Awful.

Bub is the only youngin playing half decently

Bub was 4-8 from 3 yet somehow still wound up with more shot attempts than points. That isn't easy to do.

True but at least he was aggressive. We been hearing the knock against him that he’s too passive and won’t attack. No Poole. No Kuz anymore. Someone needed to initiate. 14pts 7ast 5 boards 1steal is a player who stayed active. 15 shots is active. 50% from 3 on 8 attempts is nice. Yeah now he needs to add to his game.

K-Midd net positive vortex still undefeated. Manages a +2 when the Wiz are blown out. Supreme savvy to hang in on both ends.

You need to let AJ play in the G-League the rest of the season. Last season was a redshirt yr abroad. He requires on court time. At the start of the season in the G-League he was atrocious. By midseason he was a neutral. Needs to ascend one level still.

Reed had 25/5 against OKC with 3 stocks. Haven't watched it yet.

Not fair to Shep. He's supposed to guard SGA.

Houston was missing Amen and Dillon, their two best defenders. Those are the guys usually guarding SGA, not FVV. Steven Adams didn't play either.
