Vucevic, if it wasn't for him, we would have lost this game or at least would win by a close margin.

I would give it to Dipo. AG a close 2nd,such a shame he didn't get the ball more often in the 2nd half. Vuc was good offensively but I'm not happy with his D tonight.

Aaron gordon
Good to see he performs well

Would of given it to AG but if it wasn't for Vuc coming back and saving us in the third, we would have lost the lead and prob the game. Vuc wins it for me with another monster game.

Oladipo for offense and defense

Gonna be interesting to see who wins this vest. Went with Victor tonight. Thought he was consistent on both ends for virtually the entire game.

AG for giving us a taste of the future.

18 points in a half and only 3 or 4FGAs in the 2nd half after that?

Otherwise, Vuc deserves it for being a reliable scoring beast. Or Elf for really taking control in the 4th.

Tough one, went with Vic slightly over AG.

Any highlight videos out yet of AG's career night?

It was the Dipo-Vuc-Gordon show!

My vote is Dipo. Excellent game on both ends in this one.

Gave it to Dipo. He did everything tonight and he hit some big shots, had a lot of steals, and had a constant defensive pressure. I love watching him pick off passes and give the Philly guards a headache.

My second pick was Aaron. He was great tonight and his defense was strong as always. I liked Vuc on the offensive end but his defense was garbage. Fouling out made it even worse.

Oladipo was Mr. Everwhere in this game. Frankly I am confused why the vote is close.

Vuc. Very efficient in his limited minutes. He made Okafor his bitch as much as Okafor made Vuc his

How come for vic there isnt a mention of the 4 steals, makes it look like he did nothing but score.

Because the points scored are the most noticeable stats of the boxscore. People hate on his shot selection and low % sometimes but they forget to mention other parts of his game he has been performing well in. His 3Pt % has been down(32%) this month but for the month of Feb he avg 19points 5reb 4ast and 2.2stl with 44% Shooting from field. I dont know the rest of the stats, but how many 2 guards in the NBA avg those numbers in February? That along with his great defense.

Say of Victor whatever you want about his offensive woes but as of today he is our best 2 way player. Something that is rare to find in the NBA these days. One of the main reasons why I see him so valuable to this team and would chose him over Evan any day. One of the first things we must do this offseason is lock up Victor. He will continue to improve in areas like finishing around the rim and his shot. You want an example? Kwahi Leonard. It wasnt until this year(5th season) that he became a much better shooter but like Victor he slowly improved each year and right now is one of the best if not the best two way player in the NBA. Not saying Victor will reach that superstar potential someday but he will keep improving in areas that many people criticize him for today. Rob knows this. He is not stupid. Thats why I believe those Teague rumors were all bs. The moment ATL asked for Dipo, he hung up the phone. I dont see Dipo ever being like Wade but more like a more athletic and offensively skilled Tony Allen. Which is a type of player any team would love to have.

Last night was a small taste of this teams future. Those 4 players( EP, Dipo, Mario, and AG) are the ones we have to hang on to. Look how well they played coming out of the gates. Despite giving up the lead and those small mistakes, those are things that are fixed with time. Two are in their second year and that was Marios first start and already they look to have great chemistry. Run with that lineup for the rest of the year and let those guys play their game. Imagine how much different they will be in another 2-3 years. Be patient peeps. We have accumulated the talent. Now its just a matter of developing them into bball players and watching them dominate. Oh and a better coach might help too but one thing at a time.

Its scary how easy Jah can score the ball. When he stops acting like the Michael Beasley of Cs, the kid has a bright future full of many all star appearances.

Oladipo played on both sides of the ball.

I get that but all the option had a secondary stat except vics. Honestly the way hes shooting was going to start the season Id say he has made tremendous improvement in the shooting department.

And the vest goes to...
