DFS is a completely different player these last few games. He is playing way better than Covington who everyone was druling over.
Green has been playing really well, he's making better decisions.
Powell has been amazing. He looks bigger, he sets stronger screens, he stopped taking stupid jumpers, he is crafty near the basket. His defense is very good.
Hardaway has been on fire. I just hope he can do this in the playoffs.
Amen. I've said that while Boban is a prime example of a Center whose talents are a poor fit in Coach Carlisle's system a healthy Dwight Powell seems to be the quintessential Carlisle center, even more than Kristaps Porzingis. He has the mobility, just enough offensive skill, the hustle and most importantly the bbiq to slide right into the role required.
Too bad Kleber has had a tough injury run because his fit is also very, very good when healthy and on his game.
Green, DFS, Hardaway as stated, big improvements and big props are due to Carlisle for the growth seen in these players.
