MoHawk is a solid pro. POR really misses his all-around solid, selfless game. Glue guy defines him more than 3&D. Does the little things, doesn't seem to have the big ego, just works hard. I haven't had a chance to see him on the Knickers yet. But glad to hear his solidity is appealing to some.
KZ was our best chance of reviving our crummy team, and we let him slip away apparently because we have a poorly run team full of conflicts and instability. How anyone can just shrug that off is a mystery to Bo.

Moe?
I like the way Miller acclimated Moe, and with each successive game his comfort level has grown.
I was obviously a big MM enthusiast. And he obviously has a more refined offensive game.
But again, the ball moves better with less ball sticking, better spacing; some particularly nice chemistry with Julius, who on one sequence decided to forego backing into a triple team, with a nice pass to Moe slipping a screen for a layup.
His size/length double clutch his defensive focus.
Not a good free throw shooter, so he fits right in.
But he can create space and separation off the dribble and is a streaky shooter. You didn't see him against Pbilly? Fuck me! He went totally unconscious and nailed like five treys in a row, often with a defender draped over him.
Mostly I have liked all the things he seems to do that won't show up on the stat sheet.
Now that he has gotten his sea legs, he seems to have earned his coach and teammates trust. He also seems to have had a positive influence on Mitchell, RJ, Frank and Knox. Perhaps I'm projecting there, but his quiet intensity seems to have impacted our team game. Hell, Portis' defense seems better. Randle's as well.
Dare we hope he can bring some sense of proportion to Randle's tendency to precipitate hero ball turnovers. Be more like Taj?
Anyway, a good team effort and a measure of Harkless' short term contributions.
PS: RJ is a man. Better defender than you credit him with being. And while his aggression leads both to stretches of both brilliance and consternation, it is worth noting that RJ dies not give a damn about the last possession, only the next possession. He will only get better as his maturity and refinement catch up with his confidence.
