The Logic ‘Soul Food’ Section (Honorable Mention)

Kyle Anderson – San Antonio Spurs/SG

We have to send a huge shoutout to Kyle Anderson for scoring a career-high 15 points against the Portland Trail Blazers. Anderson’s final stat line was 15 points on 6-for-7 shooting, five rebounds, one assist and one block.

T.J. Warren – Phoenix Suns/SF

If there was ever one thing to know about T.J. Warren’s game, it’s that he gets buckets. T.J. Warren played against the Oklahoma City Thunder and played great in 20 minutes. He had eight points, two rebounds, three assists and one steal. He’s going to make Head Coach Jeff Hornacek a very happy coach the second he gets consistent playing time.

Jusuf Nurkic – Denver Nuggets/C

I’m so glad that Jusuf Nurkic is back on our list. Even though he’s not ranked, which will happen soon enough if he keeps playing the way he does, Nurkic is starting to get a lot more adjusted to the speed of the NBA game.

Against the San Antonio Spurs he finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 18 minutes. Also against the Houston Rockets he had nine points, five rebounds, one assist, two steals, and three blocks.
