Brunson would seem due for a comeback game as well. 

Julius seems focused on being a better team player.  Also seemed conscious of less dribbling and more decisive northsouth to the rack.

Worth noting that IQ and Maxey were Kentucky teammates, and that Max went at #21, IQ at 25.  IQ playing a good all around game

Yikes

Thank you Julius

There were a few nice things coming together in that one. Glad to ruin the home opener in Atlanta. Thibs had an imprint on this one.

Pels on a quick turn around offer even more of the swing length that is bound to give us troubles.

DiVincenzo is a good defender.

Good three point threat.

Can't make a layup.

Strange.

So much energy. Sometimes seems like helter skelter energy. Like I say, not sold yet.

Julius has a weird, very different energy so far this year.

Seemingly focused in. Not questioning calls. At all. Not dogging it. Very different. But, as of yet, not in any kind of groove.

I think he's on some medication, and they're still getting the dose right.

Hahaha.

He seems to be consciously very deferential to Jalen and RJ.

Thibs' offense seems to involve more motion and movement.

Julius more of a facilitator out of collapsing defenses. 

PS

Grimes needs to get more touches.

Hart still looking for his rhythm.

SF Windler made his only shot, a three, in garbage time.

Re: Where are the minutes going to come from?

Average minutes after 3 games (minimum 3 game played)

Brunson 32 mpg (last season: 35 mpg)
Randle 34 mpg (last season: 35.5 mpg)
Grimes 25 mpg (last season: 29.5 mpg)
RJ 33.3 mpg (last season: 34 mpg)
Mitch 29.7 mpg (last season: 27 mpg)
iHart 17 (last season: 20 mpg)
Hart 22 mpg (last season: 30 mpg)
IQ 23.7 mpg (last season: 29 mpg)
DDV 18.3 mpg(last season: 26.5 mpg)

Everyone but Mitch is seeing fewer minutes. 



Very similar to what was projected here before the season started, only Grimes is a surprise:

Brunson 31 projected mpg (last season: 35 mpg)
Randle 31 projected mpg (last season: 35.5 mpg)
Grimes 30 projected mpg (last season: 29.5 mpg)
RJ 33 projected mpg (last season: 34 mpg)
Mitch 28 projected mpg (last season: 27 mpg)
iHart 20 projected mpg (last season: 20 mpg)
Hart 22 projected mpg (last season: 30 mpg)
IQ 23 projected mpg (last season: 29 mpg)
DDV 18 projected mpg (last season - 26.5 mpg)

I cannot conceive how Grimes will have a "breakout season" with this offensive scheme.

The dude is not going to force the way. He needs opportunities.

I don't think he's gonna get them. He gives Thibs what Thibs wants (and without complaint).

I'm not prophesying he could be great, but I'd love to see what his offensive ceiling may be, save for hanging out in the corner, waiting to take the occasional 3-pointer with two seconds on the clock.

Thibs confers more freedom on IQ to create his own offense.

so DDV is eating a bunch of minutes from folks whom I think are better than him...

(ok, a three game opinion isn't really much more insightful than a one game opinion, true, but that's still my opinion)

doesn't make much sense, all I can figure is that he's really here for insurance, to make sure we have depth and dogs left over after Leon's mega trade...which will come, sooner or later, whether we like it or not, this season or next
