DFS is a completely different player these last few games. He is playing way better than Covington who everyone was druling over.
Green has been playing really well, he's making better decisions.
Powell has been amazing. He looks bigger, he sets stronger screens, he stopped taking stupid jumpers, he is crafty near the basket. His defense is very good.
Hardaway has been on fire. I just hope he can do this in the playoffs.
I agree. Powell is making plays at the rim that I don't think he would make or even try in years past. He is showing touch that frankly I did not think he had. Crafty is a good way to explain it. Added to this was a post up and a turn around jumper off the backboard last night. I would have never thought he would try that in the past. What's next? Heat check from three point range?
DFS growth is also really impressive. His shot looks so smooth right now. Plus, he is actually creating off the dribble and getting to the rim. This is also relatively new. His passing while dribbling is still a little scary, but going to the rim off the dribble has been a nice little addition.
