Our five backups are doing just fine this 1/2 as lead is 24.
Dunn is a confident player and at the point is a natural fulcrum which drives the team. I wish he didn’t have so many turnovers but there isn’t any real diminution in ability when he is in there vs the other “non-point” guards.

Very consistent, controlled player so far, unusual for a freshman for sure.[/quote] what NBA player does he remind you of [/quote]
I personally like to be conservative and realistic with my comparisons. He reminds me of Tim Duncan.[/quote]
Karl the mail man Malone, next year John Stockton comes aboard

They had it for 20 minutes.
The rest not so much[/quote]
Maybe 20 of the 36 to date but they coasted at times in both halves.
There's some things to really like about this game but just as much to not like. Not gonna kill them for it (barring a collapse in the last 4 mins) but there's some serious issues with turnovers, keeping them off the offensive glass and how we ourselves handle the press (I agree with the earlier pg observations) Would love to see them play like they're down these last couple mins.
This is the real test for Champagnie, to come up big at the end and he just grabbed a big bucket. I’d like to see ya go to him again at this point and see him really start earning a role as a go-to, and I think he can.
