Just checked out the box score… how did Key not get credited with a steal? He had that play he dug in and deflected plus collected the ball. Weird.
 
As a non-participant in this season thus far, I’ve been surprised by KG’s passing. Looking at numbers only, his college stats made him look like a pretty low-efficiency chucker. While there may still be some efficiency issues that may come around, it’s pretty rare that you see a guy go from not distributing in college to distributing in the league. He was averaging 6.4 assists per 36 prior to tonight and that alone really impresses me. Also, not that Donovan is a comp at all, but we kept wanting him to be the PG and he didn’t have a game breaking double digits in assists until 2019.

His first game ever at PG was senior year when his team's PG went down with injury.

He strikes me as a guy that played the ball-on distributor role in lower levels. High school. Would be interesting to see his high school stats.

He was forced to play the wing/forward position in college which he bulked up for. That isn't his game at all. Baylor had two upperclassmen they started at the guard position. Good thing for us or he would have been drafted much higher.
 
Keyonte shot wasnt falling but I liked that he took those shots. For the most part they were shots he should take and you gotta love the assists and taking care of the ball.

Clarkson had the best game of the season for himself. He moved the ball more was more active on defense. He still had a few dumb plays but I can live with that. No surprise he has a solid game and is pretty clutch and we win.

Agbaji had a great game. He was pretty solid this game. 6-8, 6 boards, 2 blocks, and a steal.

Collins has been very consistent this year for us. He had another good game. 4 blocks and perfect from 3. He has a lot of hustle that I like.

Sexton and THT both were decent and moved the ball much better.
 
"Welcome to the In-Season Tournament, Boler!" LOL

- Tough game to watch. Not a fan of these small ball teams that play dirty because it's their only chance to contain opposing bigs. Marcus Smart can go F himself.

- Pretty good game by our #1 option, Jordan Clarkson. I guess he thrives in a chaotic environment like this. Not gonna get fooled by one game, though – he should still be gone at the earliest opportunity.

- Breakout game for Ochai!! (According to my calculations, this was his 5th breakout game). This is what we wanna see. Make your open shots and use your open driving lanes. That's it. If he can do that, he always has a place in the rotation.

- Just a reminder that we're paying Collin Sexton $17.3 million dollars this season.

- The way Lauri is holding that lower back (and suddenly doesn't have any lift), it might make sense for him to miss about 20 games.
