Essengue giving good effort on both ends.

Pat is still afraid to initiate contact when he drives. He creates no separation from his defender and does nothing to get them off balance, so he gets blocked.

He’s also essentially straight-line driving with his head down.

All that time with DeMar and he learned nothing.

Jevon carter is 3 for 13. I know this is preseason, but haven’t we seen enough?

Terry who would have been another ball handler was tossed

If I was one of these training camp guys fighting for a possible contract somewhere I'd be pissed he's just jacking up shots like he's Curry. :noway:

Ayo looking like that kid who had two 30 point games in a week a couple of seasons ago. Great to see last season might have been due to that shoulder surgery.

What does Terry even work on in the offseason?

Bulls 3P shooting depth is real thin, Coby then Huerter. Next up is Jevon Carter, and we've lost if he's playing real minutes. For a team that tries to be tops in 3PA, this is a weird roster construction to have. Especially since both guys are UFA next summer.

Ayo has looked fantastic. One of the brightest spots from preseason so far.

The story of his career is improvement and proving people wrong. It’s been a repeating theme.

But my thing with Ayo, and we’ll see if it plays out this way in the regular season, is people seem to talk like it’s no big deal that he played last season with a fractured shoulder. Like it’s a fact, but not a factor. It’s weird. It pretty perfectly coincides with his shooting slump as well.

Patrick Williams makes Bryant Gumble look like Malcolm X

4-17.

That should be against the law.

Disrespectful to the game. Total chuck.

Pat is a much better 3pt shooter and it looks like he’s added a dribble up 3 ball too.

I think we may see more Pat than Okoro.

He’s already better than DT.

His length plays. Very disruptive.

He was QBing the defense and telling people where to go.

I don't dislike Okoro, but I have a feeling he's gonna be overplayed by Billy to lackluster results. I'm doubling down on my opinion... even if Tre, Okoro, Jalen are "cheap", altogether with Pat, we're gonna have $50M cumulatively invested in below-average bench role-players, instead of planning for something bigger and better.

Atleast Matas is looking great. Like a legit competitor against the great Giannis.

Vuc is so cooked.

No way he should be starting.

He should be backup C getting 20mpg.

He looks like a player that is healthy and has taken a step!

Keeper.

Pat has more game than Okoro. Okoro can’t really do anything on ball. He can shoot and cut. Nothing on ball and no passing or creating.

Buz is our 2nd best shooter. He will be high volume from 3 this season too.
