The veer back switch without the veering back. LeVert and Turner switch this but LeVert dies on the action. He has to fight to get back in front of Wood to deny this easy putback. Instead he pulls up. CP3 is small but gets his body btw that big and the rim. #PacersRockets pic.twitter.com/IQihWEFVaj – 8:53 PM

Thunder don’t have Derrick Favors (rest) tonight so they will be going small and starting rookie Jeremiah Robinson-Earl at center. Rookies Aaron Wiggins and Josh Giddey also join Robinson-Earl in OKC’s starting lineup. – 8:34 PM

“I think most of his game is 100 miles a hour.” #ThunderUp coach Mark Daigneault on forner Arizona State star Lu Dort.
“The challenge is slowing the car down when it comes time to make decisions, which I really think he has improved at.”

“It just requires a lot of sacrifice to embrace those roles, but not be confined by the roles. It’s not a restricted type of a deal where you have a role and like, that’s it. There’s room to color outside the lines.” #Suns coach Monty Williams. pic.twitter.com/oLYcVjJD4D – 8:07 PM

Monty Williams said the Suns had Luguentz Dort in for a pre-draft workout and he remembers being impressed by Dort’s quickness to stay in front of the ball and his strength. Noted a guy like him shows the amount of talent that can still be there among undrafted players. – 7:25 PM
