He definitely stepped his game up the most, which is what the Dirkie is all about.
I'm not a Hardaway hater. But he's played well enough in the sixth man role that he didn't exceed my expectations enough to really stand out. This wasn't even his highest scoring or most efficient game of the year. It wasn't even his first 6 rebound game of the year

Anthony Davis. Minus the injury issues.

So we should be all in on Tobias Harris then?

DL2 gets all the attention here for his unexpected offensive efficiency paired with impressive defense. And I don’t want to take away from that. The kid is gonna be an all star. But his 1.8 scoring efficiency isn’t an outlier on this team. At the top you have amazing efficiency from:
Luka 1.5 (sc-eff per the worldwide leader in sports)
GW 1.7
DL2 1.8
DP 2.8 (outlier alert)
In the middle, vey strong performances from:
DJJ 1.3
Hardy 1.3
Timmy 1.3
Josh 1.3
Bringing up the caboose:
Slumping Kyrie 1.1
Exum 1.0
Maxi 0.8
Seth 0.8
Maybe it makes more sense than we realize, forcing the ball late in the 4th to our backup center?
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.

I‘d go with Wemby - playing the 4 next to Lively… And would take Giannis over Davis as well.

lol
I view him as a much more offensive minded Aaron Gordon. Someone who would give us a giant upgrade over what Maxi is giving us today. I ain't playing Tobias Harris as a small ball center ever.
