Dev Johnson

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.

But Zeke Najee, this is a good game.

Plus nine.

You'll take that.

Yeah, this sucked for his whole Jamal star, you know, type of thing.

More so because, I mean, the numbers are not going to show what he's really been, you know, down this stretch.

This was a game that he was questionable coming into the game and he kind of forced himself into it.

And you love that, the fact that he wants to continue to get out there and play, but also...

If there's some time to buy a night offense, this was it because they weren't winning this game.

This was not even to say a scheduled loss.

There's so many games back-to-back to another back-to-back.

That's tough on anybody.

So for Jamal to have to go and play in this one, you tip your hat for the effort, but this should have been a game he sat a little bit more in.
