Jerami Grant is out tonight. Rest day, perhaps??

It’s gonna be the Sekou show

it's really going to be interesting to see how the team does without grant, this will be his first missed game of the season.

it also shows how committed the team is to the youth movement with grant getting a rest day in the middle of the season.

I like this. Glad to see a structural urgency. Play young ones, play hard, and make simple moves to limit the chance of winning.

This is such a relief after the Stan years. I don't think Stan is as terrible coach as some on here believe, but man, he was such a mess as a GM.

I thought as a coach SVG was pretty solid in the beginning until he lost the team, refused to take the leach off Stanley, etc.

If I'm Casey I'd start the game with Stewart at the 4 to battle against Zion then give Sekou/Bey time at the 4.

And it's going to be a track meet (no surprise against NOP)

Stewart, Lee and Bey all in together and fighting hard and winning this game in the 1st quarter. Amazing to see these rookies out here competing like this.

Dropped a 39 point 1st quarter and the ball movement has been great. Bey leading the way with 10 hopefully he can get close to that 30 point career high # he put up against Boston.

Saban Lee running the floor hard very active hands and just had a block too. I've seen enough to know this guy is at worst a backup PG in this league. He's a rotation player. He isn't a second rounder that never makes it.

Josh Jackson reminds me of Rookie Tyreke Evans. Hopefully he can continue to improve

I'm super impressed with how Lee is playing right now, under control, making the right pass, and his penetration is creating problems for the pels. Stewart might be a bit TOO active right now, but he's killing it as well.
