This team is probably about 12 deep so there's going to be a lot of different standouts every game outside of Paolo/Franz/Suggs, should be fun

Against inferior teams he looks good. Against the good to great teams you'll see the difference. I think people completely forget how useless he is against teams like the Celtics, Mavs, Thunder, and Sixers.


What’s that? I can’t hear you over the 4 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the first 9 minutes of the game.


The Spurs are not a good team, lol. Also, it's preseason...

I would like an even better/bigger upgrade but all-in-all, I'll take what Goga gives us if we push the pace more with him on the court.


The team doesn't have the personnel to do that though. On top of that his switch-ability against perimeter oriented teams is absolute trash. In a league about cross match ups he always gets eaten alive by these elite perimeter players.

WCJ isn't the answer either though if we're going up against Embiid. Let's be honest.

The most impressive part of Jett is how much his defense has come along really impressive he held his own. I don’t know how you don’t give him and TDS minutes. Goga again looks really impressive.

I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

A 12 man lineup would be a disaster lol. They'll get enough from rest days/injuries/etc.

Is there a point where Franz's shot gets worrisome?

I understand signing Gary Harris because of injury problems and tradeable contracts/expirings, I just hope we work to get PT for AB/Jett

I was there once they gave him the (undeserved IMO) max contract. I love Franz and he's a 3pt shot away from being an all-star level player but that 3pt shot is BROKEN. You can see that he's aiming it and it's now starting from his hip. It's all mental now.

Probably but it’s when the season starts for me.

We need to start Jett to open our offense.
