I actually cannot believe how good Nemby is playing.
He appears like a 5 year vet playing out there. It's the little things. I counted 4 possessions where Nemby was yelling at someone to pickup a matchup on D and it resulted in a missed shot or a turnover. One that stood out was him directing Flagg to the right spot and Flagg forced Wiggins into a long contested 2 because of it.
That is ABNORMAL! Rookies aren't the ones calling out which defensive assignments in transition and look like a master while doing it! Pair that with his ability to just set the table SHEESH. 13 assists tonight on a single turnover. Genuinely reminds me of Steve Nash back in the day the way he pokes and prods the defense.
Cooper Flagg is incredible. He's starting to look comfortable out there and it's showing. 22 points on nearly 70% FG'% is a great game by any measure. But like Nemby, there were so many times last night where I saw Flagg directing and telling others what to do. Most importantly in the 2nd quarter he kept slapping his hands and gearing everyone up to get stops. Its not just that he is finding ways to score despite the defense trying to take away his drives, but its the little things he does possession by possession.
AD looked ok. I mean 17 pts, 17rbds, and 3 blocks is nothing to scoff at. Its a fantastic game for anyone. But its hard to look past how slow he looked out there. 4 airballed jumpers tells me his legs still arent under him. But thats understandable after being out for a good amount of time.
