About him. It was a follow up to:
Chriss is good and the roster is bad. Both are true.

Yes to keeping Chriss. Bullock with two good shooting games in a row! We have too many guys. Curious to see whether Bullock or even Sterling Brown have any trade value. Would be happy to keep one or both especially as they seem to be playing better. Kind of want to keep Burke as emergency guard at this point, he’s perfect in that role. We are deep but so many of our guys are of about the same caliber and talent level. Without Luka being all-world it’s very glaring how few of our guys “pop”

Agreed it’s a great pickup and hopefully a sign of things to come

"My chest was burning,'' Luka said of returning to action. "It was a weird feeling, but happy. Very happy."
Seems like I wasn’t the only one who thought Luka looked winded

Would like to keep Knight and Chriss from this whole thing. Pinson maybe but roster is pretty clogged.

Marquese Chriss somehow looked like the Mavericks best frontcourt player in the non-Kristaps Porzingis division, thanks to his sheer athleticism that no big on the Mavericks, or even any player on the entire roster, can match. Chriss is filled with talent, there’s a reason he was selected eighth overall in the 2016 draft, but he could never stick because he could never direct his raw talent into meaningful production. He was a space cadet on defense, fouling teams at will and never being in right place, let alone at the right time. Despite all of those issues, which still showed up in Dallas at times, he’s basically thrived thanks to his talent just dwarfing his fellow Mavericks big men. Chriss is violent rolling to the rim and the he developed nice chemistry with all the Mavericks ball handling guards. With Dwight Powell losing a step after his Achilles surgery, Chriss has stepped into the rim-runner role the Mavericks have sorely missed ever since Powell got hurt. He’s also the only Maverick, outside of Moses Brown, that isn’t allergic to rebounding — Chriss is averaging 13.8 rebounds per 36 minutes, which is a substantially better number than Powell’s 8.3, Kleber’s 8.9 or even Porzingis’ 9.4. Chriss has attacked both ends of the floor with force and tenacity, which has also gotten him into trouble at times defensively, but still, what a sight to see a Mavericks big man move and play the way Chriss has. It’s an indictment on the Mavericks roster, but that still doesn’t make it any less helpful.

Reading this makes me wonder if hed ever see the floor with RC. He does get himself into foul trouble and it can happen quick sometimes.
