    This is the second unit that the team has needed.

    The 2nd unit should be much better because of Blake's ability to pass. When we had Mo he always made it about himself and not many others could get going because of it. Blake can also hit shots at about the same rate Mo did for us last year if need be.

    Absolutely sold on Kaman. Solid at both ends.

    This is why I would never want Jordan as my starting center. He is absolutely horrid from the stripe

    Adding Kaman and Blake will really stabilize our second unit. Blake is definitely not as explosive as Mo, no doubt about that, but Mo was such a ball hog.

    Everybody is stepping up, both bench combos built a lead. Great way to start a game. Kaman looks reborn and Will is looking more and more like a legit 6 man

    I'll take a boring, pass first guy off the bench as far as PGs go than that of a streaky chucker that Mo was 10 times out of 10.

    I agree. Sometimes you don't need that explosiveness when you have scoring-type shooters. Adding a Blake to get them the ball may make the second unit much better
