Thibs is a tough coach. He has done a great job extracting a lot of our players. RJ and Randle are benefiting. Mitch over the course of the season had excelled on defense. Last few games he has hit a wall but for the most part doing very well.
Obi, like many rookies had to take it easy up to the draft in November because its one thing to finish your college season normally in peak shape and get ready for predraft activities. Instead rookies had to sit and wait to be drafted just two weeks before camp. Think about that. LIfe long dream interrupted by Covid and put on hold with uncertainty. some Rooks like Quick are doing great. Not Obi.
Compound Thibs intensity it’s understanding how a young players head might be spinning. Not sure how we as fans should take this.
Knox looks like a player with way too many fundamentals to think about. This has been Franks issue as we might have perceived it. Our vets know their place in the league. These young guys know there is a limited window and that could be a factor.
How Thibs and company navigate the rest of the season will be interesting. At some point your either in the playoff hunt or your moving the dial to the future. We are no doubt like most teams doing both.
