Josh Jackson follows up a 3 with a contested long 2 airball. Oh well.

Liking what I'm seeing from Jackson outside saving the ball there under portland's basket, but he'll learn to not do that. Mistakes in the preseason are a good thing.

Not sure if Ulis has a place in this league as 150 lbs floor general. Just way too undersized.

More turnovers than assists, Booker is our leading assist guy with 4 :/

Early days of course, but if this is indicative of the kind of player Josh Jackson will be, then he's going to be a stud for us. And on paper his skillset seems to be a perfect complement to Booker.

Let's not jump to conclusions on game 1. Ulis hasn't played much ball all summer cause he was recovering

Not seeing any defensive improvements across the board. Book looks a step better offensively - ball not as sticky. Jackson showing talent with the rookie rawness. TJ still TJ'ing. Quese and Bender unnoticeable.

If we breathe on someone we get a fouled call on us, it's been like that ever since Nash left.

Troy Daniel has been putting on a great brandon knight impression though
