Both were very solid. Especially Fleming. He kept balls alive and got us extra possessions. Even against Zubac, we didn't miss Mark Williams too much. Oso blocked one of Zubac's dunk attempts. Maluach made at least one mistake when he didn't roll to the basket on a pick and roll with Booker which resulted in a turnover but other than that, he was pretty solid and got some boards and put backs.

I missed this game with kid stuff. Wild how top-heavy the scoring load was on Booker and Green. But they both had spectacular games. It is really encouraging to see Green playing better after that really bad slump from a few weeks ago. I am also really happy to see Goodwin getting back into the rotation and making an impact. And I love seeing Maluach and Fleming consistently getting minutes. Neither one of the rooks really went off tonight but they seem to fill up some stats in limited time.

Both rooks are looking solid, Sheer's a bit ahead of things because of his overall experience and skillset. His length and athleticism allow him to make some impressive plays, even if he's beat or out of position.
Maluach has a habit of jumping whenever someone drives into the paint, which can leave him out of position against his man or for rebounds. If he can stay on his feet and just be big, he can change/deter shots and be just as impactful.
