Well, good win anyway. The bench took a little bit of the shine off but the starters were unstoppable.
I had thought Pritchard was starting to get to his spots as a ball-handler in the preseason. That would unlock a new level to his game and enable him to be a real third guard on a team. Nah he still can't beat his man off the dribble. I think he's mostly fine as an eighth-ish man playing off-ball alongside Jrue or White and at least one of the Jays, but I question whether he'll ever be able to run offense with the ball in his hands.
I'm being patient with Hauser but he's struggling right now too. Didn't help that tonight was also one of his worst defensive games in a while. He rebounds at least.
Kornet we already know about, Brissett is nice as long as we never need him to put the ball in the basket, hope we give Stevens more of a look going forward - at least he appears to have something resembling an offensive game, even if a three-point shot isn't part of the bag. Svi might be more important than I realized, just because he's a good enough offensive player to actually finish off games that the starters rip open.
