Tyler ulis per 40 last 10 games
19.4 ppg, 11.5 APG, 2.3 spg, 2.6 to pg, 51% fg%
He's been a better point guard than Brandon knight all year but the suns were trying(and failed) to build value for knight to get a trade. Now that the deadline has passed ulis is getting all of the backup minutes and has thrived.

Since we're using per 40
Shawn Long on the season:
33.8 ppg, 18.2 rbs, 2.6 asts, 2.6 blks, 62.5 fg%, 100 3p%, 28.6 +/- only knock is his 28%.6 ft%.

The Kings blew a 27 point lead? Have they been watching Atlanta Falcons games?

I like Siakam, but I hope we don't regret passing up Skal for him.

Derrick Jones Jr. the GOAT

Skal needs a 3 point shot and he will be a really good stretch 4.

Domas with the play of the day:

Watch on YouTube

First game this season he came from the bench, relegating starting duties to Taj. Bad news for teams who will play OKC now. Domas is going to start to do demolition work for their benches, the same as he did for Bulldogs his last season ( as a starting C, posting some crazzzzy numbers). And for the stats aficionados - Domas stats will see sharp increase in quality and quantity.

I think he was very overrated as a prospect. I think it was one of those scenarios where people really talked themselves into liking him as a top 5 pick. Still think he can end up as a starter but Ive never seen anything more than just a solid starter from him. Give him a few years and he will be a solid rotation player.

Dunn has been playing off the ball more in the second unit w Tyus Jones and looking very solid there. Shifting to SG has really helped him. That and consistent minutes.

He's a defensive stud in the making. A fitting pickup for Thibs.

I was pretty keen on Dunn around draft time - not super high (for instance, if the Bulls got the Boston pick I wanted us to take Bender over him), but I definitely thought he'd be a starter in this league.

I just went back and watched his college highlights, and I still feel the same way. I haven't watched much of him in Minnesota, but what appears clear is his ability to score at the NBA level is what's letting him down.

His skill-set offensively wasn't completely polished for his age, and obviously the jumper was less than ideal, but with his combination of size, a good handle, good vision and a capable slashing game, I thought he'd easily be better than he has been on that end this season.

So he's doing what Marcus Smart has done.

I think Dunn will do better than Smart in the NBA as he has better court vision.

I'm not sure he does. Smart has really improved his play making this year, he's really demonstrating some excellent vision when leading the second team.

Dario Saric is making a strong case. He's definitely gotten better as the season has progressed. If he can ball out for another month, he'll take the award easily.

Pretty preposterous claim considering Smart is an essential contributor to an upper-level NBA team whereas Dunn has barely shown any glimpses of NBA talent so far. And both are basically the age, too, by the way. (Smart being 12 days older.)

Saric 29/7/5 2 stls and 1blk

Who will make the All Rookie 1st Team?
