Couple postscripts:

- we out-rebounded them, which is as big of a surprise as beating them
- Landry Shamet was 0-9 from the field, 0-8 from 3. Fantastic stuff

Think at one point I saw we were outscoring them something like 52 to 18 in the paint as well. Was refreshing seeing us attack and not just settle for contested jumpers

Yeah considering Graham is shooting 29% thru 3 games. I dont normally pay attention to plus minus, but that is incredibly weird indeed.

Although those plus-minus numbers are definitely noisy with such a small sample size, it's not that surprising of a trend. Devonte' Graham is just a flat-out better player than Terry Rozier.

- Graham is always a shooting threat with or without the ball, so defenses never leave him open and they have to chase him around.

- Graham is an amazing passer and playmaker, and doesn't turn over the ball a lot. Great at setting up other guys, great at punishing defenses with quick passes to open teammates.

I disagree, and think Rozier is a better overall player. Its probably Grahams inconsistency that throws me off a little, but I can definitely see the argument for Graham. Graham would be absolutely lethal if he had a midrange game

Terry is shooting the ball better from the floor, from three and from the line.

Terry also has variety to his offence and isn’t singularly reliant on one shot and one shot only (the 3 ball).

They turn the ball over about the same amount of times.

Terry is playing light years better than Tae.

My argument is Monk isn’t playing at all and therefore unlikely to be resigned/play a significant role this year or next couple of years. Lamelo is on a rookie deal for 3 more years after this and should be relatively underpaid.

It is not crazy to me to retain all three players as all three have logged minutes together and seem to complement one another in some degree. If a trade comes up I’m not against dealing Graham or Rozier for the right player but I also don’t think we should be pursuing deal and essentially lowering said players trade values.

Could see either Graham or Rozier off bench longterm as Melo rises into a starter role.
