rough game for Podz so far...his drives to the hoop are something.

JK continues to get teammates buckets.

I want some Westbrick right now... that GP2 signing is a mistake. As bad as Westbrick is, he is a way way better pg than Podz and Spencer.

These are the FTs Steph would have gotten vs LAL, right?

Let's remember, Podz was still an outstanding pick at #19.

Man, this team lacks athletes big time.

Al looks pretty old out there...hopefully this is him gearing up for the season.

GP2 is providing next to nothing at this point.

Rowe is a waste of a 2-way.

Steph still the man at 37 years old. Hate to say this but we will need him to be the man to carry the load. QP might be the most important young player for us.

This new ejection rule from JK means Dray will get ejected almost every game then.

Pretty rough game from most our players.

Man yang is going to be good at some point.

Glad Will Richard got back in and had a nice run in the second quarter.

Yup. Overall we usually look less athletic and then the non Steph guys aren't shooting that well and it can get rough. We have a bunch of these guys that can play some defense, but aren't threats with the ball on offense and can't shoot that well.

I think Al at worst can provide us backup center minutes better than Loon. I've heard from Celtic viewers that he tends to need a game to 'get up for' so perhaps he is not full intensity in pre-season.

Besides Steph and Jimmy this team looks a bit rough so far. Aging Draymond worries me on offense, he's still a good defender of course.

Kuminga is playing the style we need him to though, so that's been a positive development this pre-season. I think he has looked at a lot of the criticism of him and taken it to heart (at least so far). Looking to pass, faster decisions, and looking for rebounds tonight. Still a work in progress but excited to see how things go if he sticks with this direction. This is the style we need him to play.

Podz has just always lacked athleticism. Good guy to bring off your bench as an irritant, but I'm skeptical he can be a starter on a championship team. If he ever wants to be a big impact player he has to be a 40% 3P guy.

Moody is solid but doesn't have a high ceiling. I think he can be a quality starter though.

Will Richard looks promising, but yeah another guy who is short on athleticism (but that's why he fell so far). Still, he is an exciting development.

What we really lack is a high quality guy to play the Klay role. Hopefully Melton can play that role but he's never been a 3P sniper and relying on someone who is often injured and is coming back from an injury is a big ask.

I would absolutely be shopping Podz looking for a starting SG. Swap him for Keon Ellis.

Thrilled they're calling the foul on the late contest on 3s instead of calling it a "high five" or whatever bs they made up for it last year. People were hunting Curry's thumb by the time the playoffs rolled around

Yeah I like the new rule, hopefully Steph gets enough calls we start hearing whining from other fanbases :D

I’m all for letting players play defense but that was a joke.
