Up 55-14 at the half.
Most encouraging stat. Smith played 12 minutes and had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.
We made 11 of 15 3s (73%)

Ritchie only went 8 deep, but I certainly expect that to change in the 2nd half.

Final score 92-50

Really sloppy play down the stretch enabled Coppin to cut down what was a 50 plus lead.

Decker with 20
Smith and Harper with 16 each.

Didn't really clear the bench til about 5:00 to go

I’m going to be in a minority here but it doesn’t look like he’s improved at all. Sure you will see these quirky stat lines but watching him play it almost appears as though he has regressed. A prime example is his shooting. His free throw shooting is…adventurous. Hes not developed even a spot up jumper. I’m just wondering if he’s reached his ceiling? Not saying it’s a bad ceiling but just wondering

The only improvement I see in Cleveland so far is lesser turnovers. He can’t shoot and playing against 6’10-6’11, he is not going to drive the ball to the hoop that much. Nor will he post a lot of people. He plays gritty. That’s his skill set.
