2023-2024 Preseason Season Game 1: Orlando Magic (0-0) at New Orleans Pelicans (0-0) - 8pm

[thelead]

Jett is a ballhandler and can make plays. Not sure if he’s ready but he’s definitely more NBA ready than AB… and I say that as an AB fan.

I think Black is far more NBA ready than Jett personally. Jett's gonna be BBQ chicken defensively for a minute I think.

The issue right now is that the stuff Black is bad at (shooting and scoring) shows up much aggressively when he's playing with other scrubs and forced to create stuff on the ball.

Black mostly looked fine when playing with the other rotation players.

I guess I should have qualified *for our team*. AB could help a lot of teams today but he doesn’t do much that we’re super deficient at right now.

[SOUL]

Okeke is a solid player who just hasn't been able to make shots.


Way too much being taken from this game, btw. I won't deliver any kind of lecture, but come on now.

Trevelin Queen for starter !!!

[eyriq]

Oh man, Wilson. I'm still traumatized from SL.

[Audi]

Jett has been rushing his shots. His normal release is already quick - he can afford to take a little more time.

[Knightro]

Jett's a shooter?

Shooter's roll right there.

[Howard Mass]

Nice touch Jett!

[eyriq]

Whoa, what a pass

[3ddman23]

Queen a hooper. U can just tell when guys are good. Now if he is nba good that's the diffrent story lol

[eyriq]

Jett's a shooter?

Shooter's roll right there.

Lol yeah, I take the doubt back.

[SOUL]

Oh, also I think Suggs in the SL is necessary too. Just causes too much defensive chaos and if he can just shoot threes DECENTLY then he gives a lot more than Gary despite being a better shooter.

[CZ Eddie]

NICE bounce

[fendilim]

Wilson is really bad

[GameOver25]

Wilson is really bad

Yeah I'm not sure why they are "looking" at him. He's not good.

[fendilim]

Whitmore looking good tonight

[KillMonger]

People need to remember what preseason really is, it's not about the opps it's about what we're doing...... Where are we at and what do we need to button up and improve. Nobody should be taking any stats seriously

Sent from the phone in my hands

[fendilim]

Wilson is really bad

Yeah I'm not sure why they are "looking" at him. He's not good.

Would have preferred them to had signed Harry Giles lol

[3ddman23]

Jett chucking it up here a bit

[SOUL]

Also I hope people keep in mind this is where teams/coaching staffs play different lineups together to see what can work and what doesn't. They're not meant to be the "answer" to a lot of things going on, a lot of these by virtue just aren't even going to happen often when Ingles is playing.

[Knightro]

Jett certainly isn't shy. Good news for all y'all hating on Harris for his lack of volume.

[eyriq]

I haven't seen anything surprising or disappointing, and in fact I've seen things that give me optimism. Good start to the preseason.
