Andrew Schlecht

And then his competitiveness, too.

He's not going to be some great defender.

He doesn't really have the body, the wingspan, all of that, the quickness to be an elite defender.

But his competitiveness is the thing that's going to drive good minutes for him.

It's like he continues to be competitive defensively.

Offensively, they just need more guys that can just hit shots like this.

I know that they had a crazy first quarter, but they just need guys that can come in and make shots.

He was two of three from the three-point line tonight.

Guys are going to cover him on the perimeter.

He creates space.

They just need more guys like that.

And to have one that's on a rookie-scale deal in year two, he just had a birthday a couple days ago.

He just turned 22.

For the Thunder to have another guy like that that they can bring in is huge.

And I don't know what the impact we'll see of him in the postseason.

He'll be in and out of the rotation, I would guess.

Yeah, he was telling me in the locker room after the game just how tricky it is to guard James Harden in the pick and roll, especially with these roll guys that are really good, specifically Jared Allen.

And he said, like, you almost have to try to bait him into taking those floaters, which he's really good at.

So he's like, you kind of have to pick your poison.

But he's like, my main goal with all of that was to kill any of the dump-offs, kill any of the alley-oops.
