Didn't take long for Frank to take Clerc out.

^ And to think maybe I came up with why Clerc started.
With Daniel out, maybe the plan is to have Clerc guard their center so Bettiol doesn't foul out.

12 minutes in and only 1 foul on each team. I want more games like this.

I like what Wimbley brings, but man, he must lead the country in missed layups.

Good movement and activity so far.

Yeah seriously. Clerc started but only played 3 minutes. No glaring errors, in the box score anyway, 1 board, 0 turnovers or fouls, +2.

He's still on a mega short leash, but it helps that the opponent isn't much of a threat at the 5. Wimbley is just better suited for this opponent.

I don't know how Davion Hill plays with that big headband pulled down so close to his eyes. Its covering his brows.

Bettiol has been triple-teamed on multiple occasions now. If we could just hit a few more shots. We're shooting 33% in H2.
