He’s a lot stronger than I thought

McCain crafty and a dawg

McCain is the truth. Competes on D, distributes and gets to the rim at will. We already know he can shoot.

Bona is the type of player the fans are gonna fall in love with

Maxey and McCain are going to frusterate the hell out of teams in the regular season with their effort

Are they experimenting with the cameras or something? I'm feeling nauseous.

Aluma is a nice player big to have around. His shot looks solid

I'm watching on a delay; but I just have to say one thing. Whoever thought the "floating on a cloud camera angle" was a good idea should be fired immediately.

We would have beat the Celtics with Bona

Aluma played a really nice first half

1st Quarter Thoughts:

Really like initial impression of Bona. He looks big. He looks strong. He looks agile. Loved how he cut off the baseline drive forcing a turnover late in the 1st.

McCain: Haven't seen enough. I don't get teams like the SIxers who draft a guard and in the first game don't push for them to touch the ball. I did like his two drives to the lane; definitely showed that "feel" like Lowry does where he can sense the defenders and change pace and angles to get his shot up at the rim.

Bona is legit.

This zone stinks.

Black Mage · Post #76 » by **Black Mage** » Mon Jul 8, 2024 11:59 pm

Daaaaaaaamn that oop by McCain! Bona needs to get a regular diet of minutes.

McCain and Bona look way too good for this ****

I thought the same thing watching McCain - he has a good feel for where the defenders and can pace his angle/shot. Felt a little Lowry and Harden esque. Not a crazy athlete, but you can tell he's a very skilled player

Council's ability to get to the line is elite

too bad he's probably not good enough for that role on a team

Quarter 2 Thoughts:

Wishing more plays and shots were getting called for McCain. Want to see him shooting more. Loved the hustle plays though.

Bona just looks like he has the chance to be a special steal for us in the 2nd round.

Council finding his spots, looks smooth.

All 3 guys should be getting at least 10-12 minutes a night to this year so they have experience come May.

I have no idea who this Aluma guy is; but dang did he get hot.
