Coby really worked on his shoulder presses after summer league.

Coby just adds the energy this team sorely needed. Its a bunch of good player, but they need someone they can rally around. Coby could be that guy with his energy and effort.

Great opening half for the rook. Duck was probably even happy with that.

I remain wholly unimpressed by Matas and would be very upset not only if we trade up fo him, but if we even draft him at 11

I think Coby White looks like the best player on the floor. He has the potential to be the best player on the roster this season. I certainly trust him more than anyone. Wendell is sort of trustworthy but he won't ever look for his own shot even when that's the best option.

Zach on the other hand, once a chucker always a chucker. :noway:

With the recent acuisisions I understand his days are numbered. Any talk of him starting is to boost or showcase him for other teams.


Once KC got on board, I understood instantly what was happening.

He looks lost and bad. That is the truth. He is a better Felecio right now.

Yeah Zach and White left a lot points on floor with missed free throws. That was an issue with Zach at the end last season. He is too good of shooter to not be 85 percent or better from the line.

shoulda gone with either the pocket square or the rose, not both. Suit is more than flashy enough. I give him credit for trying but that's a bit much.

I'll go ahead and make a sig bet that Mikal is better by RPM this year than Zach.

lol wut? Zach has turned into an offensive force. He's far from just a chucker. And see my sig I'm not exactly a zach homer.

I've tuned in just now to watch the last 2:30 of the 1st half. So not a large sample size for me. :lol:

I saw too much isolation this half.

My worry about the Bulls is that they won't play up to their talent because their two best scorers (Zach and Lauri) aren't really high IQ players/passers.

It's going to take some good coaching from Boylen to make sure they keep that ball moving and don't settle for isolation.

White at least doesn't look completely lost. Bulls still need a PG.

Bucks shot ridiculous from 3 on some really tough shots. I don't see that continuing the 2nd half. But we are playing their 2nd string so I would hope we could pull this off.

lauri and zach are 2/5 players on the team with more points than fga.

lavine + lauri have 6 assists, the rest of the team has 8.
