Nice breakdown. Those off ball screens Dlo sets occur throughout every game and are a really underrated part of his skill set. Really smart player.

Good take, GT. Russell is starting to show the cerebral game, the ability see plays develop 2-3 steps before other, that many of us saw him exhibiting in OSU. And his release is really quite impressive. Not Dell Curry quick but this can become one of his edge on opponents.

Those plays with Deng initiating the offense, maybe Luke is setting the stage for Ingram to start.

Deng actually had 6 assists.

I like Deng as an additional initiator on offense.

I was braindead last night so I turned on the Clippers replay against Memphis. I paid particularly close attention to Conley, who seems very similar to Russell at this point, dribbling for 18 seconds while looking for seams in the defense and constantly running a tired and uninspired pick n roll with a slow big only to get the ball back and put up a half-hearted forced 3. And it was just so predictable and ineffective.
