Lu Dort struggled mightily from deep last night (0-of-8) but impressed as a decision-maker against closeouts. He recorded 5 assists after doing so just twice in 94 games last year and showcased composed drives:

Through 2 games, Ajay Mitchell has provided really nice scoring pop. He's averaging 21 points on 60% TS and constantly getting downhill. He can significantly help the Thunder, given their severe lack of creation and driving behind SGA and JDub:

the magic should trade paolo? the spurs are winning it all? bad transition defense is here to stay? Jackson Frank and i bought and sold your early NBA season overreactions:

Pistons' 8-2 start has largely been fueled by their elite defense. 2nd in defensive rating with a no-middle scheme full of rangy athletes that bottles up opposing offenses:

The Pistons are on a 7-game winning streak, lead the East at 9-2 and have the NBA's 3rd-ranked defense. I wrote about why their defense is so elite and whether they can make serious noise in the playoffs: sportscasting.com/news/detroit-p…

Chet is just such a monstrously good defender
