A-. Felicio had a great game. Felicio was aggressive and relatively quick in moving up and down the court. Although he’s shot 80.5 percent from the field to this point, he’s mostly just a finisher on offense. The few times he’s had to even dribble, he struggled to retain possession and looked out of sorts. <p>You know what a secret, awesome stat is that absolutely no one is talking about? Felicio was perfect from the free-throw line before tonight, where he missed two of his attempts.</p> <p>Thus far in Vegas, he’s shooting 87.5 percent from the free-throw line (on 16 attempts, or 2.7 per game) to go along with that insane 80.5 percent field goal percentage. Stats make things sound too clinical sometimes, though.</p> <p>Felicio also aced the all-important eye test. He made athletic, demoralizing plays on defense, reading the floor very well on that end of the court. At one point, as Portis did some ball-watching (he made a three and barked about it), his man leaked out on offense on a straight cut to the rack, so Felicio had to pick him up for a clean strip and it was a doozy. Felicio didn’t even let Portis’ escaped cover get to the top of his release point before sabotaging him.</p> <p>I have to say, Felicio is handily my favorite player and my <a href=. Center. Chicago Bulls. CRISTIANO FELICIO
