This squad plays team ball from top to bottom more than any other team in the league…but with the success of this team so far this season, Paolo deserves a bit of praise in this regard. Orlando is winning and he is the #1 player. He deserves to be in the conversation right now.
Numbers will never be looking like Durant’s so long as this is a defensive-minded team. The numbers are irrelevant when evaluating *value* on an elite-defensive team. Box scores ain’t gonna tell the story. =)
