See what I did there?

But yeah, they're probably pretty excited about his performance tonight.

But he showed why he was a 16th pick. Not every center is getting those numbers against Philly, right? Crazy how Denver knocked it out of the park with that draft. But funny why they traded him to the team that's right behind them in the standings. May bite them in the...
