Sheesh, what a move by Paolo Banchero
He balances incredible strength packed into a 6’10” frame with the finesse and handle of a point guard
I think people don’t fully understand how special of a player he is, but he’ll remind everyone soon now that he’s healthy again 👀

Tough loss aside, am I tripping or is Giannis not receiving enough praise and attention for the season he’s having?
He’s averaging a 32.6 points (career-high), 11.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists (career-high) on a career-best 62.6% FG shooting and playing like a top-3 MVP candidate

Don’t let the way the Spurs are handling him (playing him off the bench and in limited minutes) affect how you view Devin Vassell
In fact, they’re being careful with him BECAUSE of how important he is to the franchise
He’s a pure bucket getter, who gets 17.9 ppg in only 23 mpg

Tyler Herro averages career-highs in points (23.7) and assists (4.9), all while being the most efficient he’s ever been on FGs (46.1% on 17.6 FGA) and from 3 (40.7% on 9.9 3PA)

Trentyn Flowers was my highest ranked player (#26) to go undrafted

He’s building off of a big year 3 leap 👀

His ball fakes have to be respected, and he’s been making a meaningful effort to attack more and get downhill, which helps him get to the line more too

Psychotic defensive motor and great screen navigation from Toumani Camara, who is really establishing himself as a defensive weapon on Portland
He was a “throw-in” in the Nurkic trade, and now he’s averaging 1.7 steals in 31.4 mpg
