Also Wiggins didn't look good at all. The Wolves better not give him a max.

Don't think they really have a choice, but I agree with you, count me out on Andrew Wiggins. But the Twolves ceiling as a team definitely depends on how fast Andrew Wiggins can stop being one dimensional.

I'll say this again. He's got low basketball IQ, thats why he cant read defense and make plays despite his super elite tools

Hornets are not very good, Dwight is a shell.

Lonzo is now not forcing things but looked role player-ish so far

Nuggets offense reminds me of the triangle offense, an offense built around perimeter players getting good looks off illegal screening post passing bigs.

Never considered him an option for us because of his shooting, but I love his personality and he’s obviously skilled. Wouldn’t mind him being a star.

Yeah. I was about to post that

Hot take: Lakers plays better with Ennis

How do they expect George or any other decent player to join that team?

I liked Fox and Jackson, although I don't think their fit would have been good here.

Nature of LA aside, Ball is perfect playing as fourth guy off a superteam trio kinda like Rondo with the Celts back then

He's a 19 year old playing in his 2nd preseason game. Looking like anything better than a chicken with his head cut off is a success.

Counterpoint, while we were worrying about Fultz's jumper looking a little off:

How the hell did Kuzma fall all the way to the Lakers? He looks like Ben Simmons body wise. He’s the PF version of Klay. He may be a good candidate for ROY. He’s going to start over Randle eventually.

Lol, in before the massive 3 point percentage regression.

Excited to see Philly this season, as an Aussie I've been hanging to see Ben Simmons in the pros for years!

Questions for you guys:
- Will the 76ers accept cents on the dollar for Jahlil Okafor?
- Is Saric content with a Sixth Man role?
- Will Brett Brown get his due?
- Can Jerryd Bayless resurrect his career?

I've penned a few thoughts on the Sixers offseason, would be interested in some feedback from the Philly faithful: https://thefourpointplay.blog/2017/10/03/nba-sixers-season-previews/
