He's a bit undersized, but he can make up for it with athleticism. I don't think he'll see it as much when Chandler and Len are both playing though. I really like how he's making a point of boxing out and getting his body into his man to rebound, total change from what he did in college.

Took Marquese 4 months to do something Amare never did in 14 years

Yup. Sixth man is the perfect role for him.

Hope Earl considers PJ at the Backup SG spot for when Knight has his Knightmare games.

I have not been very impressed with LB so far in preseason. I'm not looking for him to score a ton or anything like that, but he just seems to be making bad decisions and missing layups he otherwise should be making.

Good move by Bender. Once he'll adjust to the speed of the NBA he'll be able to make that move efficiently.

I really like Chriss. I think him and Booker are going to be the future. He's already talking trash just like Booker. :D

Bender looks ehhh. Chriss needs to control himself a little bit more. That block and stare down wasn't necessary. I like it don't get me wrong though. Lol

here's the Bender/Chriss frontcourt. Will be good to watch how Bender plays when he's not shackled to the corner.

Probably should be more selective shooting jumpers. Seems to settle for them too often. But good to see a play run where he's the playmaker on that Chriss duck-in.

Hope you guys don't give up on Bender so fast. He's going to be a really good player. The Booker-Bender-Chriss core has me excited. If we could just move Len, TJ, and a couple picks for Cousins (still only 26 years old) ... I'd be so thrilled.

Really happy Knight is not a starter.

57 total FTAs, 2 min left. So much for the refs letting them play but at least it isn't the 100 total FTAs like the Jazz game the other night.
