Love the fact that he can play defense, shoot, and cut right now. This is the type of stuff that will get Thibs’ trust.

That guard rotation Ball Brothers - Banton - Jalen & Herb gonna hit like crack

MJ Burks who is ready to play a huge role for the Heat is available for a backup big, can add 2nds or other rotation pieces depending on the player

Sim beast Jonathan Isaac also available, had great defensive numbers last year for top 3 defense Magic so should be rated generously

Jevon Carter available for free

I haven't sent a lineup to see how 2k rolls with it, hope Thomas Bryant doesn't go crazy against my bench. I am interested in trying out Zion - Isaac small ball lineup in spurts but I suspect 2k will be conventional

Wont be able to catch the game live due to timezone but will watch spoiler free tomorrow. I cant wait feels like first game of the season after so long, added graphics definitely increases the excitement

Yeah I'm pretty excited too. I kinda think your bigs are gonna bust up mines, unfortunately Portis and Bryant aren't exactly gonna lock down the paint.

Randle vs. Zion should be fun :lol:
