Dev Johnson

He does provide that at times, especially when he's able to shoot the three ball.

There's going to be times that the ball gets that it gets heavy.

You're not going to be able to make every single shot.

They are going down.

So many players have been in and out of the rotation that you just have to be ready when your time is called and you're getting minutes.

I'm sure that this was the most minutes he's got in a long time.

So really, it's like maybe him just working himself back into the rotation and playing shape.

But also, you saying that sentence, that goes to show the growth in his game or at least your belief in him this year because that was not something that you were thinking.

He was a guy that was at the very, very edge of the bench, not getting in games at all.

He was the one that you wanted to have in in this matchup.

He's grabbing boards.

He's working hard.

He's at least trying.

The effort was there with Zeke, and he had a couple of tough finishes.

I like the dunk that he had when he hung in the room for it

habit confidence just to like go down there and and show he could be a force down there he also has the versatility because while his foot is on the line he's able to step out and space the floor and then step in step out step out step out come back in

This was a game, and this is not really just on him or Deron Holmes.

The other team knew that they could go inside and attack the entire time.

So, of course, you're going to get in foul trouble because they are trying you so much.

So for him to not foul out in those 22 minutes and also Adam and trying to figure out a way to just keep them in the game somehow was good.
