I’ve been pretty high on Rollins from the start - his size + length, midrange prowess, and aggressiveness towards the rim are a nice foundation for an interesting player, in my mind - so it’s nice to see him making strides. And hitting C&S threes!
On this episode of "Watching Wiseman (so you don't have to)"...
Through 3Q, he has demonstrably improved. Screen setting is much, much better. Got another illegal screen where he dump-trucked a guy. Hands look fine (dropped one pocket pass, but it happens), soft touch around the basket. Running the floor hard, playing with more aggression. Clearly disrupting South Bay's offense when they try to bring it inside. Took a step-back 3 from the corner, which missed, but it looked good. Guys his size don't do that.
Really, he could score 30 fairly easily if his teammates (a) knew how to find him and (b) would stop turning the ball over.
Sending him for consistent practice and game minutes was the right idea. I don't think he will make a Jordan Poole-esque leap _this_ year, but I think after a few more weeks, he could give competent backup minutes in early 2023.
Looks like 76ers will come away with a win despite letting the Lakers force the game to OT. It would've been over earlier had either of the team made their FTs.
Wise was honestly dominant in his first stint… including getting on the floor for a loose ball, and a good contest on Huff to force a missed layup (followed by completely beating huff down the floor and getting an easy dunk)

I heard Wiseman put on a masterclass in the G-League? (p)Sychological Steve at it again?
Bucks beat the Mavs 106-105. The game wouldn't have been this close had the Mavs made their FTs.
Bucks take the lead with a layup.
Bucks: 19/23 FTs
Mavericks: 10/24 FTs
Did the Mavericks forget how to shoot FTs tonight?
Giannis fouls Hardaway Jr. on his three point attempt and is out of the game due to him having 6 fouls, but Hardaway Jr. misses all three FTs.
Rollins Triple Double 👀
Close game in Dallas right now.
watching the Sea Dubs box score (since YouTube TV won't let me watch the game for some reason), and the math on Wiseman's line ain't mathing
says he's 9-10 from the field, 0-1 from three, 4-4 from the line, for 24 points… where'd those extra 2 come from??

And this is Rollins's best game by far.
Pelicans beat the Suns 128-117.

SCW with 10 turnovers in the 1st quarter lmao
