Yeah, he did this in his 1st ever start. I think this is true to his identity. He’ll be one of those all-around players who’s a triple-double threat as long as he gets the minutes. But the good thing is he has a few diff pathways to playing:

• Big point guard
• Point forward
• Off-the-ball wing (similar to his twin’s role)

Also, he spent a good amount of time guarding Porzingis one-on-one last night. Which bodes well for his defensive versatility, being able to guard 1 through 5.

the twins are definitely unique -I think they will do well in the nba...

Really impressive stat for Jabari Walker who has been making a huge impact in 20 minutes per game this season.

He’s recently been inserted into the starting lineup and I expect him to not turn back. Just a winning basketball player who does a lot of the little things. He should be a very solid backup for the BAF Timberwolves at $1 per year

Ausar was a stat stuffing machine early on for me in fantasy. I hate Detroit's management.

The historic losing streak had them in desperation mode and they abandoned the long term plan that’s best for his development.

Had to sacrifice a good player to round out my team with some much needed depth & additional scoring. We are #1 in defense as of January 17th, but If we can’t put up more points than the opponent as a team, then we won’t win many games.
