6:41 extremely heads-up defensive play by Philon. 7:09 good process by Philon with tough spacing, but Mara is just too big and smart at waiting, waiting, waiting. forces a tough shot. 10:57 Lendeborg gets beat flatfooted off the dribble like this more than you'd like. I don't really buy him as a wing in the NBA. 16:23 good contest by Mara; Philon locked-in, not bothered in the slightest by his length. 17:01 maybe this is how he was coached, but i'd prefer to see Mara come up and screen for Cadeau here to get him a wide open 3. he has a bad tendency to clog the paint unnecessarily. 20:09 Philon is just going to fry bad defenders 1:1. this pull-up 3 is probably the key to his success in the NBA. he won't be able to drive as much, has to get that off at high volume and accuracy. 21:51 poor defensive process from yaxel. can't give up a wide open 3 like this. 23:27 NASTY move here from Philon 24:06 Lendeborg getting cooked 1:1 again by Lebaron. you can't play wing defense like this in the NBA. this happens to him constantly, it's not discussed enough. 25:24 RIDICULOUS block from Mara. his quickness to the recovery at that size is uncanny. what a paint presence. 31:12 nice semi-transition play from Yaxel to get the paint touch and find the open man. impressive floor game. 31:36 he doesn't cash it here but Philon is creating so much space on these stepbacks. go-to move for him at the next level. 33:25 third time this HALF philon puts lendeborg on skates. 36:23 AGAIN. philon creates contact, sheds a bigger defender. fearless player. 48:40 more fantastic floor game from lendeborg. very talented offensive player. 66:19 beautiful, very smart play. philon is so composed.
