Matas is gonna have rough nights, but he needs to play. Some bad misses and he got worked on the glass and defensive end, but 3 blocks and 9 FTAs are very encouraging. NINE FTAs for a scrawny rookie is damn impressive. His iso handles and first-step are really effective... That Wolves defense is no joke.
TBH Pat needs to play too. I know it was a relatively bad game, but he's turned a corner since the benching... and ditching Zach will help (if he's going to get better)... I'm not using Demar/Zach/Vuc presence as an excuse for his terrible development, but it sure didn't help.
The rebounding was atrocious. Having a smaller guy at each position sure doesn't help. And Vuc is just the worse, at this point. The offensive rebounding disparity was hilarious/sad. This is great for the tank.
