I missed it can you elaborate? Love those stories.

one of three best workouts he had ever seen
shot making ability was off the charts

didn't mention who the other two great workouts were

The McDaniels worry is setting in for people. I hope he tears it up next game.

Read on Twitter

Making a few shots would help too. I still love the guiy. He'll be very good.

I wasn't excited to see McDaniels doing more creation stuff in summer league
yeah its summer league so who cares

I do worry his eyes will get bigger than his talent is, but he knows that a 6'10 guy who can defend multi positions, and also has a pulse offensively gets PAID

he will still get big contract if he defends at high level and does nothing offensively but hit wide open shots consistently

He's mentioned it at least 3 times before. Don't know how Thibs thought Dunn was the correct pick.

Murray also said he wanted to be a Wolf and play with KAT to coach Callipari

I wanted Murray so bad in that draft. Almost as much as Steph. I will never understand it. These are smart basketball guys being way too smart for their own good. Just go with the obvious and don't over think it.

I think they are getting so physical and aggressive on defense that it's carrying over to the offensive end of the ball. Stiff shots, dribbling into places they shouldn't be, charging into situations going 100 miles per hour, and not moving the ball around. Hope to see them stay this physical on defense, but gain some laxity on offense with cooler heads.

Good point! They have spent so much time working on defense that offense has suffered. They'll be fine.

Funny…

Pete says exactly what I thought after that foul call.

I don't get the block on McD He's entitled to his space on the floor. Jokic just ran over him.

Hyland seems to have a low release on his shot
that was same knock that Okogie had on his shot at the draft, and was proven right

Because nba refs.

That was most definitely a foul on Jokic.

Holy crap this Bones kid is LIGHTS OUT. If he is really like this as a pro give the Nuggets scouts the crown for finding great players.

This game has had a lot of action from starters. Doesn't seem like a preseason game with the players on the floor.

its been explained all pre-season they aren't going to call that anymore so that defensive players stop attempting to do it, same with the stuff Trae and Harden do on offense to draw fouls while they are shooting

fans should welcome it

They did call it though, in Jaden.

Either it’s a no call or an offense foul.

I didn't seem him in college at all, but I remember after the draft someone on the Ringer, I think maybe Jon Tjarks, talking about him
was an animal defensively in college apparently

so if he can hit shots, he'll be what Thibs wanted Dunn to be :lol:
