Leading Scorer on the night. Completely controlled the game from beginning to end. Never took a bad shot tonight and was extremely efficient, missing less than a handful of shots the whole game. Perfect from beyond the arc and only took 3s when they gave him too much space or left him open. On defense, he helped out at every position getting steals, deflections and always had his eyes on man and ball. Was really good on the boards as well tonight. Finished strong through contact on his dribble penetrations and off hand. He showed good leadership throughout in a close game and always made the play tonight that gave Derby back the lead.
