Blowout from the start. The team's really settled in over the last two games with better guard play, much better ball movement and shotmaking. The ball was whipping around today and guys were getting and making open 3. Oso was steady again on offense, Dunn steady on defense and had a few offensive moves off the dribble. Bridges had his best overall game on both ends and hit a nice pull up dribble after getting run off the 3pt line. Wong is probably worth keeping around in the GLeague, really tough scorer at all 3 levels. Roddy had another good game and isn't just a shooter, being aggressive off the dibble.

Overall, Oso and Dunn bring the kind of young, bouncy athleticism we've really lacked lately and desperately need with this team. There's an energy we've been missing since the KD trade. But there are obvious drawbacks with both. If Oso's floater/hook isn't falling he has a hard time contributing on the scoring end. He hasn't posted up or looked to post up from what I've seen. He hasn't even looked to take any kind of outside jumper. And while he's had double digit rebounding games, he doesn't standout or feel dominant in the paint in traffic on the boards. Dunn's lack of offense is well known but he'll be another open court and lob threat for us if we can take advantage. He's called for at least 3 ally oops that I've seen but the guards have missed him. I think even a smaller lineup with them and the Big 3 could be worth checking out. Feels like Oso and Dunn are the perfect complimentary players to put around Book.
