Black probably averages 5 apg this season off the bench. Sixth man off the year?

Jaku making some nice reads out there.

I will say Jett has improved his physique each year. Gotta make those shots at some point, but maybe there is some small chance of being an NBA player in there.

Nah thats exactly the comp I made when writing about him. He's a big wing basically that can function as a secondary point guard. His handles just aren't good enough to be a main PG - which is fine because there aren't many "pure" PGs anyway and the ones that are are all great shooters.

His athleticism and defense is what sets him apart right now, and his shot is looking better. PG skills look good in transition but between that he needs work still

It's time for AB to put it together. All this comp stuff is just hot air. He's got this year for me. I want to see him be able to handle the ball confidently this year.

It would be a good time to play Penda at the center against Precious.

Yeah he was good last preseason. Mose has him first off the bench most of these games though, maybe he has shown something in practice?

I wonder if it's partly to give him a chance to earn an extension since that decision is up in the air and I imagine the odds are against him.
