With Payton’s lateral movement on defense, he’s become an above average defender and raised his ceiling in the process. He also exceeded last season’s 41.1% from 3P. If he ever understands how to run an NBA offense, he might be more than an elite backup PG.
Nesmith defended well and just brings good energy, he constantly runs in transition and forces the opponent to use their turbo and his corner crashing for timely offensive rebounds is good for 1-2 per game. If his shot falls even close to what it did in college, he will be awesome coming off the bench.
The entire team played great tonight against a young, scrappy Timberwolves team. This team is the best, hello 1 seed!
