There’s playing hard and then there’s this. Up 17. Less than 3 minutes to play. Game effectively over. MaCio Teague is out here deflecting passes, diving into the second row of the bench, then sprinting 60+ feet to contest a shot in the opposite corner. ELITE effort.

Hurts is a great teammate and leader. And Tua Tagovailoa sat the bench all year, but clearly stayed engaged and ready. When his moment came, he delivered. Both behaved like champions before they were champions. And now...they’re both champions.

Having an elite charge taker is a lot like having a great shot blocker. You might not make the big momentum play every single time but the threat of it can make the driver think twice about what they’re doing.

When you go to a game, you want to see the prospect play well. But I love seeing a kid struggle, too. Gives you a glimpse into who he’s going to be when things go wrong. Does it affect the rest of his game? Is he still a good teammate? Important piece of the evaluation.
