So exciting having impactful bench and rookies. These games become far more entertaining.

Dunn enters the game and hits a 3 from the corner, then gets a steal on Cade that leads to a KD dunk on the break.

Still giving it up too many easy buckets so far tonight

Dunn n Oso first subs off the bench
Dunn hits his first 3 from the baseline, again (zero hesitation)

KD was the POA defender against Cade Cunningham which was interesting. Dunn gets a steal against him on first defensive possession 👍🏽👍🏽

Well that sequence from Dunn is going to be all over social media
Couple catch and shoot 3s so far was already encouraging but boy oh boy......

The swagger on that play :D 8-)

2nd unit of Morris, Okogie, O'Neal, Dunn and Oso. Dunn ripped Cade on a drive then hit the pull up transition 3 from the top of the key. He's also put the ball on the floor effectively a few times too. I worry about shooting/scoring with this group but we're also missing Allen tonight so he'll help things.

And as much concern as there was about Dunn's offense, Oso may be more of an issue because he can't even shoot the ball. He's only got the flip shot/floater so he's really not a threat from anywhere on the perimeter.

Oso is playing the 5 though, so it’s fine he can’t shoot. He’s the roll man
