That is definitely something another team can’t offer. Bouknight seemed on point after the first quarter and a half. Poor man’s Beal.

Thor looked much better today, setting picks and moving his feet on D. Getting quietly competent late-season McD vibes here. Only turning 19 two weeks from now.

Kai obviously needs to get stronger and work on his anticipation on D. Oddly more confident in his offense than his defense now.

Watched on delay again.

I really hope that one of the coaches got into Bouk's ear at the half and told him to pull his head out of his arse - and that was how he responded. That would be an awesome indicator to how well he receives feedback and how he responds. He was super after the half showing all his driving skills as well as some nice defensive plays and the passing was top shelf. I don't like how laid back he appears at times, but I also appreciate him not trying to force things that aren't there and going all "hero ball" and "street ball". He's pretty surgical and deliberate - and I dig that about him. I do worry about how much he needs the ball in his hands though once he is playing next to LaMelo.

Kai being Kai. Thunder dunks and all out effort. Needs to pump the breaks a little at times but you can see he has the potential to be really special.

Big Vern is so much fun to watch. The kid really knows how to basketball. Needs to focus on passing and ball movement, but geez he's good value. I have really high hopes for him.

I've been really, really impressed with Kulboka this summer league. While he's missed on a couple his intent with his passing (loves the no look) and effort to move the ball and find shots for others has been really wonderfully surprising. And that 3pt stroke of his looks pure. I might have him in the rotation in the NBA in front of McD - mainly because of that passing.

I'm not digging Gelo as much as others. I think it's a cool story, but he is a stand still catch and shoot player - and that's it. He has next to no off ball movement and brings little else to the table. And he looks like someones fat uncle when he gets up and down the court.

My only other thought thought is: Lewis or Twin #1? I feel like they both bring similar things and having both would be redundant IMO.

Tre Jones is going to be a good player in the NBA

After watching these first few games I just want to ask JB to run this lineup at some point next season purely for the fun:

PG- Melo
SG- Bouknight
SF- Kulboka
PF- Miles
C- Kai

Energy, flashy passes, dunks and a little shooting for good measure. They would lose the game but win our hearts.

Not sure... I checked quit a bit. I hope his ankle heals. This game is gonna be so good because there are so many people in it I am a fan of... JaQuori of course, but also Giddey, Mann, Kuminga, Wiggins and Earl and I respect Moody as well. This is a real test for JaQuori. He and Mann should be AWESOME

JaQuori played bad for him in the first half but looking a lot better in the 2nd half. It's always the games when you want the player to shine they don't lol.

Game over. JaQuori stat line

14 pts / 4 ass / 2 reb / 1 stl / 1 blk / 2 to / 21 min / 6-15 (one shot was a half court halftime heave)

For him its not a stat thing tho. He does much of the little things... I'm shocked when I see him have a defensive lapse or a turnover

-----
I will watch Cade VS Sims next

I'm watching the Pistons VS Knicks game now. Jamorko Picket is having a good game. He was my pick at 56. I think he has so much potential...
