Nice feel good game overall, almost perfect actually. A win here could’ve been problematic, but a two point overtime loss should have been enough to make everybody happy. Even enjoyed the player comradery after the game ended. My favorite features were: solid effort from Sexton in his first game back; Damian Jones performance - trumped Vando; Luka II - can we sign this kid already!; OA, THT, Dunn, JTA, KO, DOK!!!

Nobody expected us to hang with the Purple and Gold, with our decimated roster, with LBJ back and rolling at this time of year with everything on the line! Nice job boys - including our fabulous coaching staff.

I agree both have been more dynamic, but I think Conley brought a veteran presence and was a better facilitator and controlled the game better. We were definitely better with Conley than without.

Conley had a much bigger impact than his stats would indicate.

There were certainly posts saying that kessler getting a concussion helps us lose more games and get a better draft pick. imo those two things are different.

I’m in this category

I think his scoring has been better than I expected, but that his defense sucks. He also doesn't box out or seem to have much court awareness. Overall, he is great for an end of bench guy, but I would hope our rotation is deep enough to not need him for many minutes a game

When I researched him on Reddit some people said his defense was atrocious and some said it wasn't bad. I was like, so which is it?

I hope he gets some burn for his own sake. With all our picks, I see us getting some solid players and fringe guys like Luka won't last on this roster. Juzang, JTA, and Potter are as good as gone.
