Dipo had a rough first half too. 0 assists, 5 turnovers, didnt turn it over in the second half and scored way more efficiently.

Ugghh, I hate announcers like that.. He announces the game as if he's on the radio. I cansee what's going on. He also said "Oladipo" so many times that I closed up the video. Being said, he is going to be a stud, no doubt.

Oladipo's driving and finishing with his left hand in a lot of his pre-season highlights, I distinctly remember him not being able to do that @ Indiana, strange.

How's KCP? Looking at his preseason stats, he is having a very rough time. But as you know, preseason stats can mean next to nothing.

What do you expect from him this season?


His shots not falling and hee being asked to play off ball which he's having a tough time transitioning too. I think he's going to show some real progression once he gets acclimated.

In a redraft, what does the top 5 look like? Here's mine.

1. Oladipo
2. Mclemore
3. Noel
3. Greek Freak
5. Zeller

You are having a redraft after a handful of preseason games? What has Noel done to increase his draft stock? Was has Bennett done to drop out of the top 5, why is #3 on there twice? So many questions...

4. Greek Freak

Yes I am having a redraft after summer league, and training camp. It's pretty common to get a better sense of guys so short into their career. Last yr it was easy to tell that Lillard was for real at this point. Bennett would be #6, but not sure there is a team out there that would not take Oladipo over him after these last 3-4 month. Noel moving up is more a reflection of Porter and Len looking bad.

I am pretty sure that Cleveland still takes Bennett. It is not like a few preseason games debunked the talent they saw while scouting him.

I'm loving the Brazilian beast Faverani. Great size, nice two way game as he can play inside or out, offense and defense, very natural feel for the game even if there is a bit of a language barrier as I think they mentioned tonight.
