Cam starts.
Payton likely gets heavy minutes. Smith too.
This may be our most impressive win of the season if we find a way.
Good points!
As long as we rebound well and guard the perimeter ( 3 point shot effectively) we should win. I'm looking for Shamet to break out finally and have a big game just at the right time. I also expect Smith to have a big rebounding game and play solid defense. Payton will be serviceable defensively and in his play making as long as he doesn't feel pressured to do too much! But keys to winning are:
1- Strong rebounding as a team.
2- Good perimeter defense and rotational defense resulting from great communication on closeouts.
3- Good shooting on our parts (play making) Paul will provide that. But Payton will need to be focused too.
