A combination of Penny and T-Mac? I wouldn't mind me some of that.

Grimes looks terrific. 6-10 from three tonight.

Doesn't look like a point guard to me, at least not tonight. Looks more like a SG who is a capable passer.

Zion looks unstoppable and Barrett is a number one option in the nba.

Zion would be fun to watch for awhile but there is no way in hell his knees are going hold up at 285. He already had knee problems in high school.

Barrett to me is what we need. He can run PG and can score. But think he goes number one unless we get lucky.

But this Reddish guy would be great for us if he can actually shoot like he is tonight. Smooth stroke. 6'8. Penny/TMac comp? It's only right he is in Orlando right?! Plus he was high school teammates with Mo.
The hero Orlando deserves is out there somewhere, Dwight was not the one we needed. So we will hunt for him...

Zion is not human. Never seen anything like him. Closest is Barkley. That's all I have to say about that

We could use one of those too.

We are not winning a championship, im sold on the the DUKE big 3 as well, Tank the rest of the way. I don't care about some playoffs, but if we can land either RJ or ZION. I would say Tank for ZION and sign point guard (Kemba Walker) to play with ZION and Mo Bamba, or RJ BARRET and still sign Kemba Walker...Im all for tanking, these guys are game changers and we need one of them badly to play for this team.

Glad I mentioned him as my #1 target before the games started! 8-)

6-10 from 3 is amazing. Haven't had a chance to see the game highlights yet.

I would prefer to watch them on separate teams, on same team they are just OP and hard to evaluate, like that year when Embiid and Wiggins were on same college team

All three Duke kids looked excellent. Grimes and Langford both looked excellent.

Zion is going to shoot like 65-70% from the floor this season and he seems like the third best NBA prospect of the three which is just insane if you think about it.
