I remember last year his defense completed a huge comeback win against the Spurs, and I thought he was gonna be a super solid contributor on a really good team.
We’ve seen every version of Royce at some point since then. So I need a bit more consistency before I buy it completely. But he’s looked great lately, and seems committed to improving which is great. He didn’t even step out of bounds when he went baseline yesterday.
Needs to get those minutes above 18, and 3pt shots over 1.8 per game. I hope we see him more in different lineups and at different positions. He intrigues me more than Dante at this point. (Though hopefully both become awesome, because then we could defend any team in the league.)
