He probably isn't an NBA level player to be honest. I appreciate he at least tries though. He is pretty awful at rebounding in traffic and he gets bullied a lot in drop coverage by the screener leaving wide open lanes for the driver.

Offensively he just doesn't move well without the ball, pretty awful screener as well. We would be better off to go get McGee, who is basically getting DNP from kings.

Other notes.

McGowens got benched. Bouknight subbed in for him in 1st half, took all his mins in 2nd. NSj started the 2nd half instead....

Why not just give Leaky Black mins over Thor? He can't be much worse on offense and maybe he will actually turn into a difference maker on defense.

Miller, Rozier, Bridges scored 61 pts on 45 shots, that is actually good. Problem is we have nobody else worth a damn healthy.

I think despite having an inefficient game in this one NS Jr has shown he is ready to contribute a bit more offensively. He needs screens and ball movement though as he can't take it to the rim yet.
