Donovan, Ekpe, Raul and Royce were at the game supporting their teammates. Dennis Lindsay was there too. Niang said they don't know how much it means to them to have that support.

They showed on the news that Rubio was there as well, just sitting in a different spot. There may have been others with him, but I couldn't look away from Rubio fast enough. Those eyes!

Wonder if Bradley will see any time with the Jazz at all this season. Will he make a serviceable backup to Gobert next year or not? Still don’t know if he is a rotational player.

He’s played a total of 29 NBA minutes.
 
Bradley was drafted at the bottom of the first round as a project. He was 19 years old. I have seen a big improvement in his body and game. I think more people need to be patient and I believe the kid will start getting minutes someday soon.
 
Allen back with the Stars, this time for an away travel game, which is something I did not think would happen.
 
I like how people kept comparing Allen to Redick when he shot college 3's over 40% only once out of four. Shamet did it twice out of three and is currently a 39% shooter in the NBA. If DL wanted a shooters, there were definitely better options.
 
it's not just allen's potential for shooting that got him drafted though. it's playmaking, athleticsm, etc. if they drafted him for defense, then that was always going to be a work in progress. he's a 38% career college 3 point shooter on a massive volume of attempts (while being usually very closely guarded) and probably closer to 39% if you discount his freshman year in which he barely played. And again discounting his freshman year, he averaged almost seven 3 pt attempts per game from his sophomore to senior seasons. 38+% on that much volume is pretty damn good. not to mention an 80+% FT shooter at the college level. that's all the makings of a great to potentially elite shooter. he shot 52% from 3 in preseason on a fair amount of attempts as well when he was getting regular minutes. so far this regular season, his PT has been very sporadic, and he just hasn't had the minutes to get consistency or into a rhythm. shamet has had some really bad shooting games, but he has the luxury of a coach allowing him to play through it w/o having 6 or 7 guys in front of him.

Stars won tonight in Texas. Grayson had 14. It seemed like there was good balance fron Stars and Naz had two blocks. Frank Jackson from Lone Pine had 25 for Texas.
 
frank jackson had a great game, looked really explosive. grayson had a good all around game but with less scoring (only took 9 shots) compared to last game. PG play is pretty terrible from the stars overall, though. naz and lyles are wild and make some boneheaded turnovers and play with serious tunnel vision. cousins is somewhat more controlled. surprised they're not playing grayson on the ball more like they did in summer league; he's basically lounging in the corner to create spacing most of the time.
