We shot 20.6% from 3, lost the TO battle 17-9, had 1 more foul than they did.... but won.

• Scoot looked so much better offensively than I've seen in any game this season, but the dude is not a PG. Also his defense wasnt great.
• Hendricks was pretty invisible for majority of the time but everytime he was seen he was REALLY seen. Great first game for the rookie, considering his lack of touches.
• Keyonte didnt catch fire and shot the 3 just 1/8 but MAN he gave up his body to draw fouls and get those 10 FTs. He is obviously on a mandate to shoot more pass less right now but still got some nice passes in there.
• Sexton was a scoring machine until he wasnt. He is great in that 6th man bench scorer role, but I wonder if the 4th quarter result would have been better with Ochai in there for him and more emphasis on defense.

I always look forward to your recaps after each game. Always interesting/thought provoking and on point. Keep it up

Simone should play a lot, even when we get Lauri and KO back. If Simone has this kind of try hard and do well attitude, I can see him closing some games even when we' re full strength. Keynote- Ochai-Simone-Lauri-Yurt/Kessler could be quite good closing out games where we have a lead.

With yurt and Simone playing well and Taylor needing some minutes, I think it may be time to trade KO. When we are healthy minutes are going to be really crunched. Also should definitely trade Clarkson when we can.

He has crazy long strides and gets up to speed like a Tesla Plaid.

Based on the number of steps players in the league get, I was surprised to see the travel called on Keyonte. Looked like he took two steps after tbe gather. LeBron would get at least two more steps.

I questioned that one as well. Had my dad watch the replay and he said "they wouldn't call that on LeBron lol.

Kinda weird that Hardy just want Hendricks to camp around the 3. He’s 6’10 and we play him like korver.

Felt like a GLeague game broke out at the end, but it was a fun W.

That's all he can (kind of) do in the NBA at the moment.

They get pretty inconsistent in how they call that.

Ehh, it could be that he has been playing for a different team and doesn't know the offense and team that well yet and is being placed on easy mode until he gets more familiar. No reason he can't set a damn screen.
