DTB’S OFFICIAL* FUN** FACT*** OF THE DAY****: this is the first 20-point game for Nemanja Bjelica this season. He had a 30-point game, and a 19-point game, but no games in the 20-29 range. Isn’t that fun? If you don’t think that fact was fun, don’t blame me, check the disclaimers at the bottom of this description.
I’m glad that Bjelica ended up on a team that is willing to use him in the correct way (his three-year stint with the Timberwolves was characterized by not enough playing time and him doing nothing but camping behind the arc as a spot-up shooter when he did get to play), but I can’t help but feel like he could be doing just a little more. Maybe I won’t even blame the Kings for this, even though the Kings are eminently blamable in most circumstances. Maybe this time I will blame Bjelica for not being aggressive enough trying to score the ball. A guy like him should be getting 20-burgers with ease, not as a rare occurrence.
