Another good game. There are more Harden threads than Eason threads around here. @TimDuncanDonaut Shoutout
We had that impression but his game grew on me and it actually got better, better looking. Alperen had his hands in it.
Sengun, KMJ, and Eason have all shown they are building blocks for the future. Eason has looked amazing getting more minutes the last few games. If he was better right under the basket(which should come with time) he would be even better. He was THE steal of the draft. It is nice we got the best draft steals two years in a row. As for the others? Green has a ton of potential but is inconsistent (I think he will get there but the jury is still out). Smith has a LONG way to go. Head Honcho has potential if he can mentally handle not being the "Head Honcho". Tate is a nice role player off the bench. TyTy is still an unknown. I would like to see him get some more minutes so we can see what we have with him.
Nah he can't be called anything "smoove" until he can hit open layups. Lots of potential, but inability to finish basic gimme shots is no small flaw.
I guess it's just me and I think it also speaks to his enormous potential but I saw many instances in the CLE game where I thought he did something wrong, stupid or just pissed me off! lol He's like a junkman in that he's all over the place making plays but to me it's still up in the air how he integrates into a smooth running offense of a contender. It's just not noticeable to all yet because Silas' offense has no structure or systematic passing! I know if he could stop putting up those weak-sauce layup attempts at the rim that would be a start. I mean he's got the metrics of Kawhi my goodness! Dunk that stuff young fella'! Don't get me wrong though we got a steal with Peso and I'm glad he (and Momster) are on the team!
I like what I've seen from Tari, I wasn't sold on him on draft night. Doesn't need plays run for him, just lets the game come to him and does what is needed on the floor. Plays without ego. Could be a really versatile role player.
An oversight on my part. The jury is still out on him also. although if we keep both Green and KPJ it will likely limit his opportunities going forward. Of course I expect a new coach next year so he will have the chance to review the roster and may very well rate Christopher higher than he appears to be by the current coaching staff.
