Random Observations.
- Luka is a Superstar.
- WCS is a nice fit. But is he horrible finishing around the rim. He had so many opportunity, so close to basket, layups almost, and he misses. The worst thing? Its not just a one time thing. Its a trend over many games. He doesnt have that natural feel, to finish and score. He is very well to come into that position to get the ball. He plays solid D.
- KP was a monster protecting the paint last season. Blocking anyone attempting to come close to our rim. That is almost non existent in the first two games of the season. Hope this comes back, because the KP, the defender, we really need that. Is that the injury, or lack of game shape? It's like he cant jump and block, like he used to.
- The level of Josh Green is G-League. He makes nice effort, yes. He can sort of rebound, and makes surprising offensive cuts, and rebounds and efforts. But he doesn't have that feel for the game. His shooting is horrible. Hard to watch some of the other players we could have had, S. Bey / Bane / Haliburton (with trading up). At the moment, he (Green) should play in the G-league. Same with the other rookies. The level of their play was just not worthy of the NBA. Terry, has some NBA level instincts, this is clear. He needs more game time. He didnt get enough minutes as he should. Iwundu is doing suprisingly well, his level of play is a player we should keep in rotation.
- Johnson, Terry, they should have played much more. Johnson is such a good player. Makes smart experienced decisions. He had several chances around the rim where I think he should have attacked, while he hesitated, and made the pass. He needs to attack more. Overall, this is such a great addition. He is building great chemistry with Luka.
- When Luka is not playing. Need to create more designed plays for the other players. They just cant do the same stuff as Luka does. Here we need some off ball screens, get guys open for some mid range shots etc. The offense simply needs to change. We got behind trying to play the same way with players just unable to do that. Make some designed plays. Secondary playmaker is needed.
- I will say this again. Its worrying with KP and WCS how weak we looked protecting our own paint and rim. Maxi is so much missed here. KP needs to bring his defensive game back. We have been dominated inside last two games. Cant win like that.
