But DSjr was out yesterday so Mudiay started and balled out with 28, Dot added 25, and even super Mario dropped 17 while guarding Lebitch and making the game saving block on him to end the game. Trier didn’t do much besides pick up a bogus flagrant foul for throwing an elbow. Frank didn’t play either...I just see Frank and Trier as odd men out when the dust settles this offseason.
Trier has a definable skill which is getting a bucket, sometimes at the detriment to the team and a bust to offensive flow but he has one. He can play make when looking to do so, the key is to get him to do more of the latter to blend better with his offensive skillset.
Knox has recovered some this month but for the yr his stats are eerily similar to Knits rookie season. Add in the influx of individual growth and acquisition of other players next season, I don't see his game peaking very high on this team unless he were to bear the load. He might get to a Tobias Harris level but he kind of needs to be DA MAN to do so. Knox game also seems to be tied to playing with Mudiay, I could be wrong but the way the season has played out for both, appears so
Dotson is progressing, he needs to be more consistent to be a starting 2 guard
