I liked Monty joining the announcers. I really liked what he said about Booker being an "underrated two way player". I think that's the perfect way to stroke Booker's ego and get him to put in more effort defensively. Tell him he's a good defender and how you know he can shut people down then send him out there to do it. I'm not saying it will work, or even if that is Monty's plan but that's what came to mind when he mentioned him being an underrated two way player. I'm taking a guess as to that being why he said that but honestly it makes some sense. It's like using some jedi mind tricks on Booker to get him to play more d.

Monty is a very savvy coach. To his credit, James Jones got this one absolutely right.

Lecque for 2. I've been waiting for that. LOL

I missed his earlier basket.

Harper is starting to play more relaxed. He has 6 points and 3 assists at the end of the third.

Lecque looks good. Sign me up for that third eye!

He really does. I think he looks better than okobo, even without a jumper. He seems to have pretty good passing instincts, good d, and a really good ability to penetrate and finish.

There was a play toward the end where Lecque had the ball on the break, was about to accelerate past everyone into no-man's land, and then help up in order to be able to assess the situation. That's more wisdom than we saw from Jackson in two years.
