He will play because of his defense, he will start if he figures out his offense

He really can't do anything off the dribble unless he has a huge lane, but you could see his length, athleticism, and instincts on the defensive end all night. Hopefully, he shoots well enough that he can be playable because he could be special defensively.

I was not impressed with Beauchamp. Very rookie-like. Not ready to contribute. Definitely not a lock down perimeter defender. He seemed to get turned around often on defense, especially when guarding someone without the ball. He clearly does not understand the team defense scheme and where to funnel the ball.

His jump shot was off. O-fer all of them. Turnovers were also disappointing.

A lot of those issues on both ends could be magnified by playing with other inexperienced teammates.

The impressive bright spot was his giannis-like (small "g") burst to the basket. Wow. He looks like he can drive by people with ease.

Infitesimally small sample size and too early for any hint at a conclusion, but he looked like a rookie to me. Eager to see more.

Well Allen,Hill,Nwora can all go when trade dead line lurks. Our late first and every second round pick can go. UPS Horst missed out on Jerami Grant with our own pick I see. WOW. That be another strike over the strike of the chalk board showing our draft of leakage. UPS or FED EX Horst isn't delivering. Are these 3 billionaires seeing this of the misses we maybe had? Or all hush hush? You can't let a Jerami Grant go by. I would of offered that first down the road and like 4 second round picks and Nwora sign and trade and Hill and Allen and more for picking up the phone. Round 1. I would of had a reliable player instead of three turds and picks.

Marjon is raw with try hard instincts. I wouldn't bet on anything in the immediate. It's the physical ability plus role-playing peripherals you're betting on. If experience hits and IQ follows, you're looking at a fringe all-star. As-is, you're looking at a guy who likely carves a role as doesn't stop, sheer effort defensive player with average triple shooting.

I'm not looking at the shooting percentages or ugly with the ball. I'm looking at the 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and block to know that nose for the ball he showed in the g-league translates. Those are the things that make him high floor even if it'll take a minute to get there.

Nwora is going to look really good filling up the score sheet as a tank commander one day.

Thing I don’t get about Nwora is he has the perfect skill set to be a solid 3&D wing and make a ton of money in his career. And yet he plays like someone whose NBA hero is Russell Westbrook.

His defense needs a lot of taming. Hes a way off of being worthy of PT.

Yes, the perpetual engine motor of Russell Westbrook is an apt comparison for the easy-going hijinks of Jordan Nwora.

Russ slander is out of control.

Nwora would make a perfect Danny Ainge tank commander out there.

Nwora can be traded after Dec. 24.

Conveniently, Joe Ingles should be returning not too long after that.
