It was fun seeing Udoka actually look like he enjoyed being out there.

Jensen told him and Forrest this is summer league and they played like it was.

Why is our ball movement so good right now? It can’t all be Clarkson, right? I saw Spida giving up good shots and dumping it down inside to Royce and Doka for great looks. I saw guys like Bogey cutting inside and posting up instead of just hanging by the 3 pt line waiting to launch. Last game saw so many dribble drives by Conley, Butler, and Forrest. The style of play tbh, has been quite different over the last few games. Taking advantage of matchups, valuing possessions, and getting good looks.

It’s been pretty basketball. So what gives?

Coaching change? Jk

Not sure that's too far off.

Lol.

But seriously, I get that denver and Brooklyn were missing pieces (as were we) but the effort, defense, and ball movement have been completely different. How many times did we get easy looks off cuts, inbounds passes, and dribble drives? Forrest alone had 3 layups and 2 extra possessions due to rebounding/hustling on fast breaks.

Dok definitely looked like he can be a player in this league, and Donovan was outstanding (while he did have a number of poorly defended pick-n-rolls from what I could see, he also did well a lot, and his offense was great). Trent Forrest and Jared Butler both look great all of a sudden.
