I missed the game, and judging by the posting I assumed Suggs didn't fare to well as lead/point guard? Let me ask giving him 20 games to figure it out won't matter either, curious?

Real games are going to have much more Paolo-Wagner actions, but I assume they want Suggs to get in live reps versus actual other teams.

Upshot is that this was probably the most aggressive and confident AB has looked in a game outside of Summer League. It wasn't just hand off and stand in a corner work for him, he was initiating, getting downhill, going to the rim. Good to see some new facets of his game starting to break through.

Can you really tie a rolled ankle to injury history? This is basketball and it happens to everyone.

Efficiency and pace would really help our offense, as bad as we are at 3 pointers they need to be outpacing the other team and getting shots up. Of course that’s where the lack of point guard hurts us.

Best of luck Central.Floridians.

Well, everything we hoped not to see from our offseason rejig, we got to see a little of.

It's just a preseason game, but it doesn't bode very well for a jump in offense. Suggs, as we all knew anyway, is not a table setter.

Some very dodgy looking shooting form from a few players, didn't like the look of.the FT shooting mechanics of quite a few players. Fingers crossed it's rust.

What's the word on Carter? Would be a blow to lose him.

Was he a point guard in high school and college?

storm surge gonna hit hard. Better be safe. Hope y’all dont live along the coast.

Haiyan was pretty bad for us. Claimed more than 14,000 lives but our govt said less than 8000 only. Lol. Cause UN will be handling the monetary donations if that happens. But thats a story for another day. Y’all stay safe.
