It doesn't matter at all now, but I 100% absolutely talked myself into Poole as a viable option heading into this summer.

Then they traded for Bane.

Our defensive intensity has fallen off a cliff…
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

So Jett will be given the first chance to earn minutes if/when Suggs sits. Expected with how Mose operates. Hopefully he can show something for our sake and his career's sake.

If they're going to actually try and stay committed to playing at a much faster pace, there's gonna be some early season growing pains that's for sure.

Picking the game up late but Banchero looks awful.. the whole team looks out of shape still. Hope they're not buying into the kool-aid chatter

I get why Mose is doing it, but for me personally Jase is just a better basketball player than Jett and I would have the rookie in the rotation.

I can already tell the overreactions from expectations this year are gonna be wild from some of the statements made from ppl on a team playing a new style, scoring 120 points that is 3-0 so far lol

In this preseason Tyus has done nothing better than Jase. And they are both new to the team, so no excuses.

Come on Knightro he's the 3rd best guard on the team right now.
