Hope he shoots less 3s and is more aggressive/physical. Could win MVP/DPOY, I am rooting for him.

So far Amen has missed some easy midrange shots this game. If he could get that dialed in he would be a formidable point guard. I don’t even think he needs a great 3 ball right now with his speed

They (the Thompsons) absolutely do not need a 3 to be star players.

Thry do, however, need to be effective playmakers, make their free throws, and have some go to moves to score (floater, across the paint runner, whatever). Amen is ahead of Ausar in this regard — which is important, as one plays with one of the best PG in the league, and the other is on a potentially elite team that’s hurting at the point.

Kind of crazy that they were blessed with ultra elite athleticism, a love and knowledge of basketball, and really bad touch.

Shai might be even better. He is making better passing reads than before and his 3 point form looks better.

The Pelicans actually look pretty good. Big if for a big man, but if Zion is healthy they may not give up the first pick.

Murray has looked great all preseason. For the first time in a long time, he's going to start the season healthy. This is his all-star season if he wants it.

Assuming everyone plays at least 65 games, if Murray plays at an all-star level, there's no way the Nuggets finish below 2nd in the West. Too talented.

Marcus Smart's played 20mins so far. He hasn't taken a shot and his only stat is 1 assist.

Lakers were up 8 when Luka subbed out. They might just want to rest Luka for the rest of the preseason, Bronny James' team worst -20 might have something to do with that

Jabari Smith will have some of best looks players can have in nba this year. He just needs to be consistent shooter. And for damn sure shoot better than 34% for 3. Especially since 3 point shooting was one of his selling cards as highly drafted lottery prospect.
