I was absolutely thrilled to see Craig take the reigns as the primary ball handler in his limited minutes. Caris took a step back. Darius and Craig split duties a bit in their time shared, similar to how Ricky and DG approached things.

Craig Porter Jr's guard play is beautiful and his on-ball action can help unlock so much off-ball stuff for the scorers and shooters on this team. Yeah, he hasn't gone to his three point shot, and will need to work on that, but good luck to opposing defenses keeping him away from his middie spots/to the basket in single coverage. CPJ's finds to the three point shooters continues to be impressive.

Drippy with one three point shot taken & made, one rebound and one foul in 21 minutes.

A bit short of what he needs to average to make the all star game.

Hopefully he becomes the same player as another Under the radar Wichita state grad Freddy Vanfleet

He was efficient? Clearly not an impressive stat line, but he played a good game.

Dean is trying to make the most of his opportunities, but he's relying a lot on the dark arts of defense. He isn't great moving his feet to stay in front of his man, and he gets by with being very handsy.

Being handsy in the NBA is a lot like being handsy at a strip club. Some nights you won't make it ten minutes without being shown the door. Then some nights you feel like this:
