I don't want to get too hyped, but I see it. That man's talented AF.

Some nice things to take from this game. Disappointed we didn’t see more Jovic but hopefully that happens in game 2.

Pros
- Bryant was excellent and could fill an important role off the bench.
- Jaquez looks ready. Super composed and balanced player.
- Swider is a legit shooter. He should be signed very very soon.
- Herro and Bam both looked pretty good.

Cons:
- Dru Smith. Woy.
- Duncan was bricky. It happens.
- Not enough Jovic.

Swider in Hassan's number made me look a few times. RIP to his Heat jersey #

Duncan looks very concerned, but we’re going to need him as another sniper. He needs to get his mind in the right place.

Swider was better than anything Duncan or Strus in his first ever game with the Heat.
Dude seems pure.

That ain’t it. Needs to cut that damn near in half.

Those attempts will go down. What I did like was how aggressive Tyler was getting to the rack a few times. He's actively trying to draw fouls.

Spo only giving Jovic 7 min lol. Jamie gonna be the bigger and better contributor imo. I remember saying if we have to trade one to keep JJJ during Dame talks. All this bulk Jovic talk, his possibilities do have me excited, but to me JJJ is where its at.

I really like what Bryant showed as well.

JJJ was super composed at the end of that game in his first real NBA game. Dude was handling the ball and getting the team into sets a la Jimmy Butler....wow not gonna go super homer, need to keep seeing it. Wow dude is legit, and his defense really caught me off guard did not know this guy has lock down potential like that. He has serious mobility out there capable of keeping up with damn near any of their speedy guys, ontop of that didn't fall for any pump fake, or fake out or crossover dribble jabs.

I don't think that is the case, I think they know what they have with Jovic at this point, which is why their not pushing it, they gave minutes tonight to the guys who needed to earn them. Spo said before the game, these first two games he was going to play the entire team.

yeah man....dude looks stout and he can play to his size. Looks like a good Pick, and at least in this game they put in position to showcase what he can do.

If dudes would have made their shots he would have started the 4th out with like 3 or 4 assists....

Also the dude is legit 6'9" which means you can slide him at PF or SF without taking too much of hit on size. When Ducan was in the game because he is really slow laterally and only 6'-7" he is limited at the SG/SF spots and he gets burned all the time, and then overmatched whenever he found himself as a small ball PF. Not only is this guy legit shooter, and a motion shooter he is big.

I know 22 on 22 on his first preseason, while taking the team on his back scoring from anywhere really and with all the attention on him.
I mean, the Hornets knew he was going to shoot it, and he did.
