Eugene reminds me of Draymond Green for some reason. Really active around the basket, cuts well, and in previous games can really pass.

I like this guy a lot.

Teams playing like they’re trying to get Eugene a multiyear contract

I would sign em to a 3 year deal (12 million, to to to) type of deal. He produces.

Perhaps bringing Wiseman in lit the fire under Jalen Duren, helping him take his game to a more agressive level offensively. Even good players can grow from competition in practice and on the floor. When Cade was talking with George and Greg you could tell how much he's looking forward to the bigs next season.

Iron sharpens iron, and it allows both of them to be aggressive as they have 12 fouls between the 2 of them. In practice Wisemen goes against one of the stronger players I have seen, and Jalen gets to work against someone who is a little more finesse.

McGruder has quietly played really well the last few games.

Pretty fun game to watch so far

That Duren steal dunk was a thing of beauty.

I need to start paying more attention to the schedule; I didn’t know this game was on either. Was watching Battlebots.

Swap out DeAndre Jordan for Drummond and that's basically our entire starters from 2016. Shame they couldn't get Drum for that one class reunion

Wiseman put up 14 and 9 in 30 minutes which on paper looks good, but shooting 50% from the floor isn't good for a big a few of those are layups/dunks and he's not hitting enough on the other stuff. 0 FT attempts and 0 blocks or steals... plus 2 TOs and a minus 13.

Duren put up 15 and 13 in 27 minutes which looks even better, and he was also a much more efficient 7-10 from the floor with 4 assists (good for a young 7 footer rookie for sure) and 3 steals.

Overall, Duren just looking like he should be the guy starting out there and he's a lot younger. Hopefully nothing is given to anyone next year and its a competition for starting roles... make the guys earn it and reward the ones who do.... same should go for bench spots. Next year we got to build that winning culture no more freebies.

Killian continues his brutal struggle shooting from outside he's made just 1 of 20 threes over the past two weeks. Yes, that's 5% from three over the last 8 games.... it's not like he was on fire before that either he's just barely over 18% from deep since the Paris game back in mid January and he keeps taking them regularly. 15-83 over the last two months... it's more than a quarter of the season. And its not like he isn't shooting them... he's taking more than 4 a game on average and still only hitting 18% over the last two+ months.

I cant wait until Killian is finally off this team next year. Im happy we got Wiseman bc Duren is playing like a MAN every since we got him.

Killian only took three 3 pointers. He was 5 of 12 for 10 pts and 7 assists, a steal and 2 blocks and was a minus 9, best of the starters. He is the best defender and best passer on the team. We don't need him to be a scorer. 10 to 12 points is perfect. He was 3 assists short of having 3 double doubles in a row, including his 17 point 13 assists game 2 games ago.
