I’ll be honest, I had Cam easily in my top 10… but my fears about his Evan Fournier blinders look 100% accurate. He’s going to drive Ime Udoka crazy.

lmao Amen was going crazy from Cam just dribbling it

Scoot imo looks like the most ready in terms of the least growing pains
Amen seems pretty heady but it all depends on his shot.. a lot of his mistakes can be made up for with his athleticism but defense needs work
Whitmore is going to be interesting because you can see the talent but his feel seems iffy, which was a concern coming in

Jabari did look pretty horrible. Cam's lack of length is going to hurt him. Amen hasn't taken a shot out of the paint yet.

Cam really has a super-uber tunnel vision.

Amen has a long,long way to go,but you can clearly see the flashes,he'll need at least half nba season to figure it out.

Henderson lol,he is already an nba player and not a bad one,hope portland don't screw it keeping Lillard and put everyone in a weird situation.

they have a super backcourt to develop,get rid of lillard as soon as possible.

Amen is a full year older than AB.

as vecenie said,he needs a counter before enter in the paint.

he always turns the corner in pick and roll ahead of the defender,but at that point,or he pass the ball or is goes to the rim.
can't survive in nba like that,need ad least another go-to move,like an efficient floater.

that said,right now is a deer in the headlights,surviving with his natural skills,but clearly not used to this level,especially on D.
first games in nba gonna be brutal for him :crazy:

Yeah, he looks poised and in control compared to his teammates. Whitmore and Eason are unpredictable blackholes. Amen seems to be struggling to penetrate and get into the paint down the stretch here. But man, the defensive switchability they’ve got between Jaabri, Eason, Whitmore and Amen is INSANE!

I am going to be very interested in how much Whitmore plays. Eason and Jabari can really keep him out. I think ime is going to have him in a dog house too.

I keep forgetting they’ve got Udoka coaching. He might be able to get them within play-in range if he can get them all on the same page. FVV and Brooks will do well to set the tone for Whitmore, Eason and Amen.

amen is Fast twitch athlete. His shot looks flat though. Westbrook-ish.

The rockets looks promising

I was listening to a podcast yesterday, whitmore’s injury wasnt that bad. Its more like 8 years down the line type of concern.

Lol at jabari walker

Why are all the ‘22 rookies playing but Paolo? I want to see Paolo play.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

Woah! What a stupid play to go for an alley when all you need to do is run the clock out. Jabari getting that block was HUGE. Good to see him looking good again
