And then when Halliburton goes to the bench, that's when he starts to work for those mismatches and post-ups, and they slow things down a little bit. Guys get their legs back under him, and he's just willing to do anything, including playing defense. He's been guarding Carl Anthony Towns. Like Pascal Siakam is still their best player to me.

It's a funny thing to have watched them, and I was disgusted by them at points last season with the defensive effort and whatnot. But they've changed in that regard. They have changed completely. Like November or December. I mean, Andrew Nembhard really did change everything for them.
