Offense looks a little passive so far

LOVE Brad already. Dude just looks good out on the court and seems to be playing very FOCUSED defense.

Okogie doing well with this group. Still not sure of his long term or playoff fit, but I guess he will still be valuable in the regular season.

Can’t wait to see KBD, Yuta, Gordon, Allen, and Eubanks

Nurk’s gotta get up for those boards a bit better. Looks pretty attackable on defense…

Nurkic is the weak link on D. He lets his man drive past him for layups or he has to foul as he can’t keep up.

Oh my god watching Allen grab the board and drive all the way down the court, use fancy footwork to finish inside…already INFINITY times better than Shamet. He excites me for sure. Maybe like a small Cam Johnson

We have two bench guys who started for playoff teams last year (Gordon and Allen), Yuta is killer from three, and we will probably have one of KD, Book, or Beal on the floor with them. That as a starting lineup could compete very well. This will be very fun. Just have to find the right combinations and…rebound better and play better interior defense. But it’s preseason game 1 I’ll shut up haha

I’d like to see the ball move more on offense but that might be tough with 3 30pt scorers on the floor.
