It was nice to see Foye make a few shots.
... unless Stern implements a new two ball rule.
It's looking like Kanter is the post up player, and Favors is our pink n roll guy.
Favors is the defensive force, and Kanter the rebounding force. I think they work well together.
I want to see Foye, and Burks play together in the second unit. With Burks still struggling with his jumper, he'll match up better with Foye.
Burks still very impressive at attacking the rim, and getting to the line. That skill is extremely valuable for us. Burks and Watson together seems like a bad idea, because of their lack of a consistent jump shot.
Burks is an underrated shooter. It's obviously a small sample size, but Burks is actually shooting 61% from the field and 67% from 3 in the preseason. He shot some ridiculous percentage from spot up three's last year (45% ?), and I think he's definitely worked on his shot in the summer. I'd say it's too early to label Burks as a bad 3 point shooter, and it's simply uninformed to say he's currently "struggling with his shot" if you look at the stats.
Plus Dwight changes some things.
Plus it's preseason.
