Game 3 Dirkie Thread: D'Angelo Russell--Dlo

[ballsrchr]

While watching the game I thought Kidd was playing a very tight rotation.  The stats show that 9 men played meaningful minutes.  Let's see how they did.

AD:  11-14 FG, 0-1 3PT, 10 REB, 3 AST, 3 STL, 2 BLK, 25 PTS
PJ:  6-14 FG, 1-3 PT, 7 REB, 5 AST, 1 STL, 17 PTS
Flagg:  8-14 FG, 2-6 3PT, 4 REB, 4 AST, 1 BLK, 22 PTS
Lively:  2-2 FG, 7 REB, 4 AST, 3 BLK, 4 PTS
KT:  4-7 FG, 2-4 3 PT, 4 REB, 3 AST, 1 BLK, 10 PTS
Marshall:  4-4 FG, 6 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL, 12 PTS
Dlo:  8-18 FG, 2-7 3 PTS, 5 REB, 6 AST, 3 STL, 24 PTS
Christie:  5-8 FG, 3-5 3PT, 2 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 17 PTS

Nobody else played truly meaningful minutes.

I'm wondering about the low usage of Lively.  Are they trying to protect him?  His points total is low also.  Something I'll watch in the future. 

I appreciate the effort shown by all of the team tonight.

AD is good...but still slow.  He certainly filled the stat sheet though.  Maybe he only plays at one speed.

PJ laid it all out there...and he is one of my 3 finalists.

Cooper Flagg is getting more comfortable every game.  In this game he wasn't tasked so much with being a point guard--forward, whatever.  I think that helped him.

Dlo came in and did some good.  The play didn't seem so frenetic when he was out there.  In some of the previous games, without Dlo, the frenzy was more like panic.

Well heck.  No matter who I chose there will be someone he wants to chose a different player...and that's ok!

I'm going to give the Dirkie to Dlo.

I messed this poll thing up, so it will look better in the future...I hope.
