So--who gets my Dirkie?
It's not going to be DJJ who was--there.
Not going to be Kleber who was--solid--for 23 minutes. Only scored 6 points...I would like more from him. 7 rebounds, 2 of them were OREB. That's good. 1 block. I'm sure someone will mention his +/- of -12...but I pay less attention to that than most because it at least partly comes down to team matchups.
Grant williams?...with a pretty good shooting night--17 points. 6 good rebounds, 1 block. I don't think so...
Kyrie Irving? Not a good shooting night, but still managed 22 points. 6 assists. Important down the stretch.
THJ just went out and did his little ole THJ stuff. He wasn't hot, but as a volume shooter, he usually scores points. We just have to hope that he scores enough that it doesn't hurt us too much. This night was ok.
Josh Green. Some good defense, a few points. An important part of the team. I wish he would score more. Maybe he will.
Dante Exum only played 8 minutes, but I think he was solid. He's an actual point guard--playing behind Luka and Kyrie. Only so much time to go around.
Luka Doncic. Also not the best shooting night, but he is clutch. A solid 33 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. This man is a player! I want to give him the Dirkie--But he's going to have more nights like this--and better. No cigar tonight.
Ok. The excitement builds! Derek Lively II. Great shooting night...16 points. 10 great rebounds--5 of them OREB. No blocks?...hmmm. While Derek Lively maybe wasn't my first draft choice, I was still happy with him. I'm also thrilled with his rookie debut. So I'm giving my Dirkie to Derek Lively II.
