Yeah, I'm getting more and more worried that Melvin is going to leave after this season. That would suck.

Good for him, obviously. But that will really hurt the team next season to lose him and Cam. Melvin has to be considered for defensive player of the year in the league, though I doubt he'll actually win.


And yes, Caleb is going to be awesome. He needs to be coached up some more, but he seems like a smart kid who really wants to learn the game and improve. He's great in late-game situations at home. Needs to improve his decision-making some in road games in tough atmospheres. But I agree, love that kid's game.

Blake Paul needs to play less and less, really just depending on the matchup. Samir is very frustrating at times and isn't a good finisher, but he makes them better when he's on the court.

Was an encouraging game. Really need to find a way to win the next three.

Agreed with everything you said. Apparently on the braodcast the announcers said MD told them he sees a lot of Eric Gordon in Daniels and thinks he will be a star. Not sure if you've seen him in person, but the whole arena goes "woah" every time he jumps. I have never seen a player elevate as easily as Daniels.

Melvin guarded Shake Milton better than anyone has all season. Terrific performance. Ona Embo has improved tremendously since last year, he has really come a long way.

I agree on Paul. The only thing he gives you is a little rim protection. Sehic is better offensively for sure and can score. Not a great defender but overall he's better than BP. BP was visibly frustrated with his minutes on saturday.

MD has gone with Daniels over Cornish in crunch time in the past 2 games. Thought it was definitely the right move on Wednesday, not sure I would've done it saturday, but overall not a bad idea. The only thing holding CD back is foul trouble, as he picks up 2 quick ones in the first half in a lot of games and has to sit for a long time.

Let's win these next 3. Would hate for the team to run out of gas as the year goes on
