Boards and assists up, turnovers down
Boards and assists up die to an increase in minutes.
Basically, RJB is the same player as last year, with an extra slumpy 3-Pt shooting start.
I'm still working my way through the CHA game (aka Elf's good game).
2Q Elf had a pair of crafty layup drives.
3Q: Elf did nada in the first 6 mins.No FG's, not involved.
One play, ELF has the ball straightaway out on the arc. Takes one dribble and passes to Rivers left elbow. Rivers passes back to Elf who is a non-threat out there. Elf passes to Randle on right elbow. Just very-nothing moving it on the perimeter, but Elf's pass to Randle is down at his knees. Fortunately Julius has good hands. But that's a poor pass. Even in shootaround I try to make crisp accurate passes.
You want Julius to get the ball and be a threat to shoot, fake or drive immediately, not have to fumble to catch a ball at his knees.
Immediately after that, IQ comes in to replace spacey Elf.
