1) one of our guards (Brunson, IQ, Grimes, DDV, Hart, Barrett) goes down for a serious injury - 50 games plus

2) Deuce McBride gets run. His 3pt drop regularly - similar to how he played in the G League

3) He puts up a 30/7/4 game while playing Deuce defense

4) While Grimes, Hart, IQ, and DDV play stifling defense, McBride plays disruptive defense

5) Come trade deadline, someone's got to go, Deuce has arrived!
