This career-high performance by Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot marks the 5th time in 6 games that he has lead his team in scoring. See? I can be a fancy-pants professional sports journalist just like those other dudes with their fancy-pants stats and professionalism. No problemo. Would a talentless hack who only writes BS for YouTube video descriptions be able to throw out an illuminating factoid like that one?
It’s not too surprising, this seeming offensive mastery by TLC. Look at the rest of the 76ers roster. There isn’t anyone on there besides MAYBE Dario Saric who is a threat to score the ball. Ever. Asking any of these dudes to take shots is asking them to miss shots. TLC isn’t much of a threat either, but he’s the best they’ve got. He’s flashing a smooth scoring game right now, and the willingness to shoot tons of threes even if they’re not really going in that much (3 of 11 a few games ago????? Trust the effin’ process).
OFFICIAL DTB PREDICTION: Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot edition: he’s gonna beast so hard in the Summer League that they’re not gonna play him after the second game.
