Knight put up a +5 in this game, his first time in the black since December 6.

I love me some ping pong balls, but it is nice to get an occasional win to keep everybody playing hard and give them motivation. I didn't see most of this game but in the parts I did see, I was decently impressed by our guards on offense. And I did think it looked like Knight was playing harder than usual, which is a good thing. Even if his defense wasn't incredible, it definitely looked better than his usual effort.

Because of the win itself or the people it came from? I'll agree we need to use the kids and clean house, btw.
Both.

If we win because the kids played and played well, then it serves a purpose.

If we win without the young guys playing, then not only do we shoot ourselves in the foot for the draft, but we also delay development of the young guys.

Are we only counting 'young guys' as players 19-23?

Well, those who have any future on this team....I would include Len, can't remember if he's 23 yet
