This rebound was ridiculous, there’s no way he should have been able to get it, and get it without an over the back call
BTW, is he alright after Kuz went all WWE on him? Any news? Because Trez is extremely important for us.
yeah, it will be interesting to see if he opts out. he played basically the same last year and nobody showed up with the big bag of cash. will someone do it just to spite us? possibly. i won't worry much until then, though, as a lot can happen between now and FA.
trudell tweeted that he was on the bench and available to come back in if needed during the 4th last night so i'm assuming he's fine
I'm cautiously optimistic. He has improved a lot since his Clipper days, hope this kind of play is sustainable all year and especially the playoffs. Jokic vs Harrell Round 2 tomorrow night
^Harrell though undersized still makes opponents account for him because of his constant motor. His offense is his best defense. Stickiest hands in the biz...hardly any drops (no jinx intended). Great finisher even in crowds.
I thought the energy he and Kuz brought really turned the direction of the game. When we come out there sleep walking and he comes in with elite energy, it's contagious and puts the defibrillator paddles on the team. He would've easily had 20+ had Kuz not knocked him out. The one board he grabbed with the Grizz had 4 guys under the basket was a perfect example of him just wanting it more.
This was a great 60 seconds of play from Trez last night. Really deserves props for this defensive energy
I don't think it would scale with his current output. Meaning if he got 50% more minutes, he'd get 50% more points. Not on this team. If he got 35 minutes a game with a team like the Mavericks, I do think he could get to 18 or so. But it probably would be less efficient and less explosive.
scaling up is harder than folks think, and it also involves changing quality of opposition for bench players. trez is nicely suited to 25mpg of beasting on second units. i think something similar applies to AC, with the caveat that AC can play his minutes against anyone, imo. but i don't think he can play 30+ consistently giving the kind of effort he does and netting the same results.
Yeah. AC couldn't play with the same energy all game, but he has shown his game works against anyone. He might be the second best closer we have after LBJ, and if you're in during closing time, you are playing against the other team's best.
Schroeder’s energy expended all game at the speed he moves and bounces his light body off the bigger players is pretty mind bottling too. How many years can he play like that?
He played really bad defense against the Harden/Jordan pick and roll. That being said hes not being used properly on offense, he should have been with Jeff Green and Harell kills guys like Jeff Green (tweeners like him) in the post and glass
