It’s weird seeing teams put up like 130 points and I think we’ve had about 4-5 games already where can’t score over 100. :lol:

Whatever coaches and systems they have for shooting need to be scrapped and replaced asap

This game has so many players I would trade Siakam for lol. Too bad neither team would do it. The Raptors really need to step up their drafting game..

Jaylen Williams is going to be better than Anthony Edwards.

OKC is freaking stacked.

Getting jealous watching OKC, even have good bench pieces.

idk about this because, he is the same age as Ant and he does everything worse.

Edwards is really good right now even if he is overrated by some. He is also 22 years old.

OKC is one consolidating move away from picking up a major piece that pushes their team into contender tier.

Wow, Chet is so smooth out there. That's no rookie.

I feel Jalen has a better feel for the game, but he is also playing on a stacked team so I don't think his counting stats will catch up.

Honestly, I think they have such great chemistry. They don't even need to make a big move. Chet being this good means I think this team will just organically grow.

Shai
Chet
Williams
Giddey

Are all all star caliber players. Shai is obviously close to MVP. Cason Wallace won't even get much playing time lol.

I watched them a lot, he is very good no doubt but he also has some tunnel vision in his game (just not as much as Edwards) But like you said he is playing on a team with SGA so he isn't chucking as much. I just think Ant age is a huge benefit, he is actually younger than Jdub by 2 months and a better defender

They're definitely two players that this league doesn't really have much of and very similar to each other. They remind me of a modern version of Dwayne Wade/Kobe Bryant. Always loved watching two guards from the 90s/00s play.
