* M Smart = 13pts 6ast 4reb 7stls
* Cade Cunningham = wow, he took 45 shots!!! Another 18 FTAs so that is 9 more possessions. 54 possessions. 46 points. I'd love to know when is the last time someone took 45 shot attempts. Don't see that everyday.
* Anthony Black still struggling. The 6th pick in the draft 3 years ago. Still not a reliable rotation player. Orlando are giving him 26.7mpg but doesn't deserve it. 3 years in. Still can't shoot. 29% on 3PT (11-39). Worse, he has not made a single shot from 15-23 feet. He is only 7-19 on 3-10 footers. Almost half his scoring is coming directly at the rim (24-31 FGA for 48pts). He was billed as someone with strong ball-handling and playmaking ability but he creates very little. He averages only 2.3apg in 26.7mpg (1 assist every 10 minutes). He also averages 2.3 turnovers. A 1:1 AST:TOV ratio. He is having a dreadful season.
* Luke Kornet a +8 in a 4pt win over Chicago. The Spurs have missed him. I thought Kornet was their 4th best player early in the season behind Wemby, D Harper, S Castle. He has been playing great for them. Bigger impact than D Vassell, H Barnes, Keldon Johnson.
* Ayo Dosunmu is having a great season for Chicago. He has suddenly become a scoring guard in his 5th season. He is averaging 15ppg in 26mpg on 54% FG 48% 3PT. He was a 12ppg in 30mpg previous two years as a defensive orientated guard. This season he is scoring more and doing it in less minutes. He is averaging 21pts per 36 minutes. He has been a major weapon off the bench for the Bulls. Probably their 2nd best player after Josh Giddey. Dosunmu would be a great replacement for Jrue Holiday on the Celtics. Big defensive guard. Good glue guy. Now he can score too! The new D-White.
* Grayson Allen with 42pts for Phoenix. 10 threes.
* Hawks 6 wins 5 losses. With Trae, they had 2 wins 3 losses. Without Trae, they have 4 wins 2 losses.
