It's a shame that Jaylen Clark has no craft or vertical burst. His physical build just feels so neglected on offense.
Could somehow be more of a bruiser, but his height and leaping deficiencies force him into a ton of floaters.
10/24 on them this season per tracking data.

I like the cutback against the defense from Jaden McDaniels here, getting to his comfortable short mid range touch finish.
Attacking the closeout off the Naz Reid skip, wiggling around Buddy Hield's help.

Anthony Edwards detailed this off-season that he was going to focus on his mid-range game.
While the mid-range efficiency is at a career-high, much of his 2P success has come back to his rim FG%, continuing its linear path after a down season last year.

It is a damn shame this game came on an NFL playoff date because the Wemby vs Ant duel was absolutely fantastic. Just ridiculous bucket getting from both of the young superstars.

Good showcase of Joan Beringer's mobility.
Catching up to De'Aaron Fox's rapid first step off the catch on the perimeter and getting the block at the rim.

I think this is the first relevant possession of NBA basketball for Leonard Miller.
Questionable switch, easy Kornet roll.

The Wolves really struggled to find a unit that could work defensively after Beringer found himself in some foul trouble. Wemby’s 2Q was also ridiculous. The step up threes were killer.
Beringer subbed out at 9:10, Wemby outscored them 17 - 15 for the remainder of the period.

We saw a glimpse of Jaden at the 4 Randle at the 5 minutes since Naz Reid was injured and Rudy Gobert did not play.
Two easy Kornet buckets to extend the Spurs lead.
Randle has to drop to Kornet on the second possession.

Nice team defense possession in the zone look from Jaylen Clark in helpside and Joan Beringer holding his ground on Luke Kornet off the Dylan Harper connective dumpoff.

Keldon Johnson is having such a fun season, by far my favorite Spurs storyline of the year. He showed some real promise admist the Spurs tanking seasons, so its cool to see him impact winning.
