I've had these games on, but I haven't really paid attention. With that in mind, what are some of the positives that have been happening lately?

-Jordan Mickey is definitely a solid PF that can do a little of everything. He's a high IQ defender but he's not the best rim protector because he's undersized. Still a plus defender.

-Josh Richardson is starting to utilize his strengths and play his game much better. He's not trying to be a playmaker but he's looking for his shot and his defense is ELITE. His ability to attack the rim, hit a one step midrange, and hit the 3 makes him a dangerous all-round scorer. Him having a defined role and taking the playmaking duties off has been great for him.

-Bam. Everything Bam. Kid is a guy that can end up becoming a multidimensional monster. The fact that he can switch onto any player in isolation and you don't feel worried is insane. Our defensive potential is legitimately insane with our young pieces. If he's given the green light to start shooting the mid-range or leaking to corners after screens to take 3s, we might see him able to play the 4 too.

-Ellington's instant offense is scary. I could see a team like the Cavs, Spurs, or Warriors snatching him up because dude can straight up shoot.
