    Really interesting that even though KAT should have a big advantage over Trendon or Drew on the offensive end, the guy has only taken one shot. And it's not like we're shutting him down by forcing him to turn the ball over. I know he's still getting re-acclimated coming back from injury but he should be at least attempting to dominate us.

    Yeah, it’s ridiculous. Which is why I hope Sharpe doesn’t have to play with bench players very much next season.

    Maybe we’ll see that in the 2nd half.

    Mays with 8 assists in the first half was a surprise to me

    Eubanks is shooting over 50% so far......how can he be shooting too much?

    i dont get all the eubanks hate tbh, is he the best player? hell no, and does he make some bonehead plays? prolly.... but everyone does for the most part. He tries and tries hard and does a pretty damn good job getting some blocked shots and its not like hes getting paid like an all star or anything, maybe someone can explain it to me.

    His floater is very effective against a team sagging back like Minnesota is doing.

    Would have been better to say that in some circumstances his decision making was poor, which ended up with ugly misses.

    He's a PF playing C just like Watford...tweeners. Both have really good hustle and Eubanks is a good shotblocker. I like the guy as bench insurance

    Maybe Eubanks is playing for a spot on a team somewhere?

    Think we fell ass backwards into a decent PG in Skylar Mays.

    I've been taunting my brother that our two undersized undrafted guys are playing even up with Gobert and Towns. I haven't even mentioned the respective salaries yet...

    skylar is definitely playing well enough for me for the BU PG spot, feel like hes not completely undersized either at 6'4"

    That one sequence where the Blazers had 4 shots in a row, and I think Williams had 2 of them blocked, was both fun to watch, and frustrating to watch.

    I kinda think that Williams might be earth bound.
