Cam 6/6 from 3, 20pts, Grizzlies need to run more action to get Cam 3pt looks, he should be in the 8 attempt range nightly with the way he's shooting this year and how many minutes he's usually playing.

Perfect example why +/- stat is meaningless
 
Really crazy to think Pat focused on Lacrosse in college and somehow honed/maintained/built his basketball skills along the way.

Basketball is a sport that relies on skills if you're not an athletic freak, comparatively. The transition from lacrosse to football (which has been done) is easier to understand, but people that move into skill sports like baseball, basketball and hockey, that's much harder to fathom.

For those of you who like to wager, Cam has been an ATM this season.
 
Speaking of wagering, the guys that sit behind us at PBA talk about spreads and gambling most of the game. They don’t cheer for the team as much as they do for their wagers to pay off. Super annoying.

Been making the SGA comp since forever and been standing on the table about how he’s an elite PG once he got the chance.

Couldn’t be happier or more proud with his performance in just year 2.

It's even more impressive playing beside a ball dominant guard in Fox. I personally felt his development would stunt after that trade.

I honestly did too. It seems like the Spurs have been going out of their way to keep their commitment to him being the PG of the future though and Fox has been cooperating as well.

Hes been rewarding them for it with his play too. It’s really cool to watch the Spurs intentionally invest in him like they have.

He just passes Magic to become the youngest player to have 30/10/5 over 70% FGs.
He also matched up against Luka for the most of the game with that stats line.

Luka is probably the worst defensive player in the history of basketball 🏀
 
Damn, take the starting five from the 23-24 Huskies and you can understand why that was an historically great team. Castle and Spencer are torching the NBA, DC was 2nd team all-rookie and integral to Portland going forward, Newton is beating up on the G League and should be back to the NBA soon, and Alex is Alex leading this year's NC-contending effort.

Dang. You made me go look. Tristen is killing it.

Newton is averaging:

25.3 ppg
4.2 rebounds
7.8 assists
+/- 5

Wtf, Cam? Are you on PED?

Did I see the box score correctly and he was still a -7 on the +/-? I realize it's not a perfect metric, but that is impressive in an odd sort of way.

He was +9 in the first half. Grizz fell apart in the second.

A year or two ago I asked what people thought of a theoretical all uconn nba starting 5/team, and how they would do. Well, look at Castle go. Cam on fire to start the season, Clingan more than respectable. Drummond still pulling down rebounds practically 1 per minute. Martin very respectable glue guy off the bench. give it a few years...! Two guys gotta step it up though...
 
I've got the Spurs money line at 5.8-1. Hoping Steph adds to his legend.
