They aren't even that talented. The roster is just constructed perfectly and they are extremely well coached.


This. They draft players that fit the system that they run. Hopefully we get there one day.

If we draft shooters and guys that understand team play maybe someday.

It's the main reason I wanted Jabari. I understand that he didn't have the highest ceiling but he was a proven 3 point shooter that plays defense.

I would hope that adding Franz and Fultz to the lineup would lead to some better looks for that starting unit.

An interesting thing to track this year will be WCJ's 3pt%. He shot a career high 33% from deep last year (he shot 36% one year but on very few attempts). He has to improve but if he regresses even a little, Paolo is going to have a hard time finding a clear lane into the paint.

It was one Preseason game without some key players. Even if those players played, it's one Preseason Game.

That kid Salti Aldama is really good from Memphis. I’m going to follow him a bit this year.

The positives: The game is over.

The negatives: Everything else.

The silver lining: we get four more of these before the regular season starts.

Hope our players grow from the learning experience.

I was excited for one play: which is Jalen Suggs dribble pull up and nailed it. Hope he becomes more efficient and aggressive
