Ryan Anderson is a specialist.
He's a quantity-plus-quality shooter, averaging better than two triples per game on 38-plus percent shooting in five of the last six seasons. To appreciate the significance of that combination, only Stephen Curry has matched that production (though the reigning...
Yeah, but the whole team is playing much better. Better ball movement for sure.
Remember the game Wade came off the Bench?
Deng is in his prime. His touches are limited due to his role as the 5th option.
In Chicago, he was the second or third option.

Averages in the past 2 games:
Luol Deng 28.5ppg 10.5rpg

Sad to see a former #1 pick get waived.
I see teams going for him though.
Particularly the 76ers and Bucks and Celtics (especially since Olynyk is injured)
SLAM: You came back this season a noticeably better player. You can see it through the numbers, and simply watching you play. Do you have a plan each offseason of what to work on? Do you see yourself having any weaknesses?
SC: Oh, yeah! Three years ago, I was never able to drive right or do...
Their defense in the 2nd half of the season last year due to starting Gobert and Exum was like 2nd best in the league if I remember.
And Exum is not a bust.
In his only summer league game, he outplayed Marcus Smart.
It was summer league, but if you watch it, you'd be impressed with how he...
