Jokic – A+
GOAT-season pace and plays every game.
AG – A
Not fair to “remove that one game.” He showed us he has that ceiling — we don’t remove SGA’s 55-point game or Jokic’s when looking at their averages.
THJ – A
Knocks down shots with zero hesitation, clutch, and a great locker room guy.
Jamal – A-
Averages 6 turnovers per 36 in the clutch. Efficiency is fine, his PPG is good, his playmaking outside the clutch is really good, and he’s also good defensively.
Val – A-
Averages 25 points per 75 and plays solid defense. Could be even better if he avoided turning his body while contesting shots, which leads to fouls.
CB – B-
Started doubting his three-point shot, like he forgot he averaged 39%+ in the regular season last year. Improved his playmaking and still delivers a net-positive impact when he’s on the court.
Watson – C
Good defensively, averaging nearly 4 stocks per 36. Offense is still a zero — it stalls when he has the ball. Way too predictable and has no “go-to move” on that end. Overthinks and is too gentle; he should be crashing bodies and foul-baiting a bit more.
Bruce Brown – C
His 2P% is down the drain. Should change his shot diet to more threes or drive-and-kick, since his passing has been lackluster. Solid on defense, but there’s room for improvement — needs to intercept more passing lanes and generate more steals.
Cam Johnson – C
Good defense, good at driving, poor three-point shooting (though it’s coming back now).
Spencer – C
Shown some flashes of brilliance on defense, but still not seeking his shot and tends to disappear in the half-court offense.
Straw – D
Not good on either end.
Pickett – D
Nope so far.
Tyson/Zeke – F
Ni Hao.
By the end of this Adam was looking a little Ruff.
They need another ball hander, I thought that will be Bruce, but his IQ It doesn't working right now and he makes manny mistakes with driving to the rim and everything else.
Plenty of Bs.
The only A IMO, goes to Tim Hardaway Jr. đź’Ş
Jocic's second lower effort game against the Bulls dropped him to B+
Cameron Johnson gets a C-
Here for the stuffed dog
Would you trade Cam’s good game for a win against Bulls?
What's up in the clutch? It's that Jamal Murray is careless and exceedingly low-IQ. They should have kept MPJ who is balling out and dumped Murray instead. BIG MISTAKE.
