Kobe is looking like a stud so far. Really liking his potential

Despite the solid performances from Grizzlies actual roster players Kenneth Lofton Jr, Jake LaVaria, and David Roddy, the Clippers squad held on to win their 2nd SL game. Some thoughts on the game:
– Kobe continues to be confident in his jump shot, but also showed a willingness to put the ball on the floor when matched up with the slower Kenny Lofton Jr in the 2nd half. Despite the shaky shooting numbers again, Kobe was very active on both end and filled up the box score. Looked considerably slower in the second half when he picked up the assignment of guarding Kenny Lofton Jr in the 2nd half after coach Jones decided to bench big man Bryson Williams on account of being terrible at basketball.
– Somewhat of a bounce back performance from Preston who was far more aggressive hunting for his shot today. Continued to struggle with his jumper, but hounded Grizzlies guard Jacob Linyard and nabbed 10 boards. Definitely looked better than his outing vs the Kings, but not nearly impressive enough to be worth bringing back.
– A few big performances from the bench rotation including the first time seeing the likes of Nate Renfro, Keaton Wallac, and Xavier Castenada (yes we have 2 Xaviers on the roster). The stand out, however, was 26 YO Brodric Thomas who put in 14 points and took 3 strong charges from the 275 lb big man Kenneth Lofton Jr. Brodric has had short stints with the Cavs and Celtics rosters on two-way contracts the past couple seasons and has shown he can guard a few positions. It’s his last year of two-way eligibility and he most likely earned himself a training camp invite with today’s performance.
