    His handle, his slick passing. He's faster in the open floor too. He's got some skills no doubt.

    But yes, in a vacuum I like Davis better.

    The perception I got from watching this game is we attacked the basket more. Not sure if the stats back that up, but it sure seemed different to me. I was impressed with Aminu, Plumlee and Davis. Oh yeah........ and CJ too. But I always like watching CJ. He can score from anywhere. Having him and Dame on the floor together with some of these passing bigs, is much more fun to watch than last year

    Guess who's never averaged 37 points per game (after opening night)?

    Steven Adams
    Michael Carter Williams
    Giannis Antetokoumpo
    Gorgui Dieng

    At this rate we'll be able to package 3 or 4 of these guys for Lebbron by Christmas.

    I liked the defense from Alpha Ruke Aminu today, too. Guy is active and athletic!

    Dame who?

    That was fun. And I get the feeling they aren't done.

    I said it earlier in the thread, really wanna hammer this point. Harkless and Aminu have ELITE defensive footwork on the perimeter. It's Tony Allen-esque.

    I was definitely impressed with Aminu's D. He really knows how to shuffle his feet and close out on guys.

    it seemed like to me the current starting unit played well together. Maybe Davis brings more energy off the bench?
    Nice bench with Davis, Crabbe Henderson, and Vonleh. And Harkless too.
