Shooting wise, yeah, but he still made some good plays defensively in that second half. He rotated well defensively all night.
I'm sorry, I know it's just one game, but what does it tell you when a guy that joins the team a few hours before, and doesn't attend a practice, actually seems to know the defensive rotations better than most of the guys on the roster currently? Maybe he was just guessing and fighting for his career that gave him the extra oomph, but I was like "I wish 'X' would get the second and third rotation like that"
This could be an extreme overreaction, but to me, knowing the rotations and executing are basic things, and a lot of our guys don't seem to do it well. It's like a busted coverage in football that happens play after play. Granted, there's no huddle after every play to straighten a dude out and the plays happen in shorter bursts in football, but I mean, come on.
