Preseason Game 6: Minnesota at Philadelphia, 6 pm

Pre-season over. Few interesting ponts for me :
- Rob improve but he was good mostly against 3rd unit, can he make an impact during reglar season? I hope so.
- Juzang play like he play with the jazz, not always consistent but when is is hot , he bring something.
- Joan is a good surprise. He can play and get some min on the rotation. Rudy is getting old and NAZ is more efficient when he replace Randle. I expect NAZ to hsare i=his time between the 2 positions which may allowed some min for Joan.

Can't wait season to start, will be a fun one.

Look at his box score. He was amazing tonight. I've changed my mind. Keep Miller over Juzang.

Rob spams those spin moves like he just got the game and its the only dribble move he's learned so far.

I think Dilly is pretty good with the spin moves. Last night he was mostly successful with it except for once he telegraphed it so bad it was a very easy steal. As he gains experience he will be better with the spin and will add other moves to the repertoire.

Edgecombe was guarded by Bones Hyland lol of course he looked good attacking.

Edgecombe is a freaking beast. I see many all star games in his future, but being guarded by Bones I'm sure helped make him look great.

On PHI board fans say all of good things about Rob. Makes me always wonder why grass is always greener outside of MIN.

Rob is currently a third string point guard at best. Should be looking for cuts or trades for a backup point guard.

I could be very wrong but at this point I think these two things will be true.

1. Rob wont be the PG we need ever. I just don't think he has the skillset to be very effective on this team or maybe even the NBA. That lack of size is really a killer.

2. Jaden McDaniels will never be the scorer people hope he can be. He does have a bit of a bag, and he will have some good nights but I don't think he will ever be a consistent, high volume scorer. I could see us trading him to try and get a PG.

He keeps looking better. I'm thinking he will do a good job as the backup and eventually take over the starter role.

You are kidding right? I swear we watch different games at times.

Not kidding. Getting more instinctive and making good plays.

It’s just the same bs we get from the same users that crap on Ant and Jaden (eventhough they were dead wrong on both of them) they still go at it lol and Rob is their new target.

He is no where close. They should cut Bones and sign Banton or Smith Jr. Either one would be better next to Ant/Donte. Rob should be in Iowa all year learning how to play D, hit 3 consistently, and finish at the rim, also not turn the ball over.

I have never crapped on Ant or Jaden. What exactly does Rob have? Size? No. Athleticism? No. Elite vision/handle? No. Dead eye shooter? No. Good defender? No. I was excited when we drafted him because I thought he was a lot quicker and more vertically explosive (A.l. / Stevie Francis) he is not even above average athletically. Something should have flashed and stuck a little by now.

I say he's very quick, has a good shot, and elite vision and handle.

Both Dillingham and Hyland are utterly unplayable defensively and it is front office malpractice to roster both of those guys.
I would not feel comfortable giving either any minutes in the regular season right now.

Miller is marginally better than last year.
Joan and Rocco are both more skilled with the ball than I thought they would be.
Maybe 3 years of Gobert stone hands trauma black pilled me on them a bit.
Neither has the strength right now for the NBA big man grind, but Joan is not for away.
