Thunder vs. Mavericks - Box Score - February 2, 2022 - ESPN He went 8-14 FG, 6-8 from 3 and 7-8 FTs for 29 points in the start... along with 3 assists, a steal and a block in 41 minutes in the win over Dallas So good to see such an impressive performance from him, especially after starting some of the early season in the G League. Very happy for him.
To me the only question is/was, could he score enough points to overcome what I perceive is a lack of size/want-to to play defense in the NBA. If he keeps scoring like this, or has the potential to score like this, then methinks his G-league days are pretty much over. Good for him.
Tre Mann’s basketball moves are nasty. He’s hitting double step back threes, making defenders fall using crossover dribbles, in your face poster dunks, alley oops, etc… I can’t imagine he’s not a big name within the next couple of years unless the OKC coaches hold him back in favor of SGA or Giddey. I think he’s better than SGA, personally, because he isn’t a black hole on offense. SGA ruins the flow.
Yes he's so smooth and deceptively quick, he can usually get good separation from his defender. If he's hitting shots he can be pretty lethal. Great to see him with a breakout game, hope it fuels his confidence and shows he can play and even excel at this level
