Although Hood's night was impressive. Tonight was all about Rudy, the offense, and defense.
Burke's shot wasn't falling but he was hooking Rudy up all night and making great decisions. Didn't chuck and played within the offense. I can't ask for much more than that from him.
Exum's good for about 20 min a night right now. He picked his spots in the first half, but he was grabbing jersey by halftime. He was part of the machine tonight, made all the extra passes and hit a few jumpers. He had multiple hockey passes tonight. He was clearly deferring in the second half, he was done.
Rudy. Got damn. Best player on the court tonight.
Hood. Doing exactly what I expected he's going to be a big part of this team if we can keep him around. Was unconscious tonight. He obviously knows his game and plays within himself. Stoked.
I love Motum's passion and energy. Would not mind if he's the 15th. Not a bad Dleague stash either.
I like Malcolm Thomas. I can see him filling the same role as last year. Could challenge Jeremy Evans for minutes. Maybe.
Overall, the offense was beautiful tonight. Everyone is so willing to pass and make the extra pass. The defense was swarming. Everyone seemed very committed to playing every possession. It was a fun game to watch.
For the Bucks. The Greek Freak is special. I think he's going to be great. I like Wolters, solid backup PG. Jabari was awight. So much Melo in his game, I see a similar career path so far.
