The thing about Grady Dick is he didn't really do much last year besides wear a cool draft suit and exchange jerseys with Anthony Black. That's kind of what I remember about him.

But then you watch the Raptors, which I do from time to time, and he's like... He's getting to the rim. He's finishing with knuckles at the rim, getting past his defender and taking on a second help defender and scoring. I'm just like, where was this guy last year? What is this? And is it... And you know what? I'm going to answer the question I asked Kurt, too, because we were talking about it.

R.J. Barrett's kind of taking a little mini leap, too. And my question for you, Bill, because you're always astute to sort of point this out, is like they're going to score 95 points, right?

It's going to come from somewhere. So do you think these are actual mini leaps or it's just sort of a function of them being capable NBA players without superstars on their team?

Um, that's not, that's not a good sign. My break team does that for me too. Like every time I hit a jump shot, they over celebrate because I'm so bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's one of those. My confidence. Yeah. It's really annoying.

It's too early to sort of really be concerned about it, but I just, if you are a Timberwolves fan, And you've convinced... So I've been watching Julius Randle play basketball for his entire stint on the Knicks. And there's been... There's been all-star years and big, huge games and big shots and big moments. But he's a very, very frustrating player to be a fan of.

And I think that nights like tonight, you see that. Where it's like you took nine shots. You're 0 for 3 from 3. You just didn't impact the game in any way, shape, or form. And when you have someone like Anthony Edwards on the team, every time Randall has the ball and he starts to operate, I'm like, I'd rather have that other guy doing that.
