At least in Covid era, has he stopped throwing his spitty pacifier into the crowd?
Definitely be interested in watching how it plays out, and hope he’s been able to showcase enough. Given his age and stats so far, maybe it is likely that someone goes all in on him.
I really hope he ends up on a different team soon. To me, there is no reason for Matt to not get into the game to get some threes up. He's not the best defender, but I'm pretty confident he can hold his own against the second unit guys on most teams.
The Raptors have been a hot mess for most of the season anyway.
Interesting. I saw that Wiggy had joined a team in Israel´s league (small but I think the hoops are decent) in 2020 and assumed he had stayed there. When I looked him up, he was no longer on the roster. It seems he had just been a roster replacement for about the last month or two of the regular season after the G league ended. I'd love to see him get on an NBA roster but it seems like most CFers aren't convinced he'll manage to do that.
He landed at a place with a bunch of guards. The good news is, he has a lot of tape of good performances in the bubble if a team is looking for a great shooter. I still think he'll get a shot this year again in the rotation to show if he belongs - injury or something. Nurse has described him as "electrifying" on offense (not a term even I as an ISU fan would've used when he was in Ames).
Yeah, that's true. Thankfully he has all of that good tape. I feel like that is kind of a weird way for Nurse to describe him on offense. I think as an ISU fan a good term for him is lethal. I'd be surprised if he doesn't find a good role somewhere.
I hope Georges is shooting better than 44% from the FT line.Short write-up on Georges' surge in scoring lately - says that he's not just scoring as a shooter anymore but is doing more playmaking and creating:

Also, I was bored at breakfast and looked up total points scored by our 6 guys so far this season. These are the totals: Monte - 188, Tyrese - 160, THT - 99, Georges - 73, Matt - 26, and Abdel - 22.
I can see it. He has made himself more than just a spot up 3 point specialist and can now do something with the ball when he does get run off the arc. I still believe there is room for a player like him in the NBA.
He IS. He's one for one for the season!I hope Georges is shooting better than 44% from the FT line.
Matt Thomas got more action last night than most of ISU's typical starters. He stepped off the bench in the 3Q, got a 4-pt play and then didn't see the floor again, I believe. His line was 2 MIN, 4 PT, 1-1 3PT, 1-1 FT, 1 TO and +4 (HIS +4).

This Wednesday it looks like we have the potential of watching 6 different NBA games with Cyclones playing (of course, Nick Nurse may screw that up). Never have I been more interested in the NBA regular season. Wonder what Hok fans are doing?
Monte Morris and the Nuggets got a good win over Dallas and have been trending in the right direction. Big night for Michael Porter Jr. Monte's line: 26 MIN, 8 PT, 2-5 FG, 0-2 3PT, 4-6 FT, 2 REB, 6 AST, 1 BLK, 2 TO and +7. He has now reached double-digit turnovers for the season.
THT not having a spot in the rotation over Wesley Matthews is criminal.
Good stuff:

Stat of the Week: Two-man lineup combinations highlight rotation questions - Denver Stiffs
What can be learned from the two-man lineup combinations 17 games into the season?
His last
His last TO was tough. He drove and was planning on dropping it off to Hampton (rookie) in the short corner but the rookie vacated to run back to the 3 pt line. Hampton had a lay up if he stays put.
Porter Jr's continued rise could compensate for Murray's inconsistency. They're both inconsistently great offensive players but together with Jokic at MVP level it's a lot of firepower. Monte has kind of been their second most consistent player in terms of knowing what you get every night.
Never forget the night ISU basketball knocked out Porter Jr's college career in its opening seconds.
Wonder if they'll try to get him long rest at before and after all star break. He was definitely at all star level last year.
Lakers must be thinking this is 2014 Wes Matthews. He's been a shell of himself since the achilles injury but teams keep paying and playing him like back then.
