Don’t really care about Victor Wembanyama’s handle here but the fluidity and balance stepping into his gather off one dribble or the tween cross (2step left-right) is pretty crazy for a guy 7’3.

Scottie’s high pickups in different arm slots on his gathers makes him so unique. Looked like he was going to go shoot here and just straight lobbed it to Precious. Had a cool high catch against Looney, stayed in same slot and finished for and1.

Anthony Black got great tools to be solid in lock&trail coverages: - Quick feet to trail and nav around screens - 6’7 plus length to contest from behind He’s every where on this possession - contains the drive, contest from behind and dives to create transition. Great effort.

Having RJ running his natural transition lane (left) raises raps transition game to another level - on that side he’s finishing on the outside hand (protected to the rim) - can kickout toward right side shooters than don’t need to break stride

Scottie Barnes is generating zero lift and power in his lower legs. You can see it when he half-turns/spins, he favors his knee. Last year he would half turn, and load up as he gets perpendicular to the defender to shoulder bump, finish thru defenders

Gradey’s baseline jump passes are starting to stick out to me. They’ve been pretty accurate finding the right guy on the perimeter, continuing possessions. Adds versatility to his closeout attacks OTD, especially when he gets run off the line. Wasn’t expecting that in his game.

One of the best aspects of Maxwell Lewis’ athleticism is his ability to maintain balance. He finds ways to maintain wide base on the move: turning cut-offs into semi post-ups & using long controlled strides (step-thru, euro, half-spins) as counters. Finishing w/touch+length.
