Gotta go with JohnC - consistency matters.

Shout out to D Bembry making the most of his starting opportunities. This was clearly the best stretch of his young career (production-wise). He likely just cemented himself as a long-term contributor in this league. And it's probably the only shot he'll ever have for recognition.

Collins for sure but love the performances from all of them. Bembry looking like a really nice glue guy and Young emerging as a young stud who might actually get over the hump with his scoring efficiency.

John Collins without much doubt

John Collins. But this whole team is getting better each game. Really suprised at Collins and Dedmon's shooting this month. I hope it continues in February.
