Jazz should start him at the 4 imo, and then bring Bojan in off the bench.

Also impressed with Royce O'Neal (great overall) and Oni (very athletic).

Don’t forget that they playing against a team from another country right now

They're playing almost a 1/2 Sixers team

We'll duh LOL It's not like I don't know that.

I'm paying attention to good decision making, chemistry, and hustle more than anything.

Why won’t it?

Lakers have 2 of the top 5 players in NBA.
They have length.
They have depth.
They have shooters.
They have an experienced coaching staff.

They need age/time to gel and get chemistry and better. That will age just fine.

Not really, it's not like they signed a guy that someone shouldn't be able to beat out for the position. You make it sound like they signed a great 6th man to keep him in the 3rd role on purpose. If Aaron can't beat out TJ McConnell that says more about Aaron than the Pacers intentions.

In theory, yes, you would be right.

In reality, Nate McMillan will take a solid vet over a young, unproven player 10 out of 10 times.

I'm not sure what the proof to this is. He started Myles every game when he was 20. What other young players has he had worth playing? Joe Young? TJ Leaf? George Niang?

I'm not sure what other young players he's supposed to have been playing.

When Lebron and Davis are going downhill together, they're tough to stop.

Catchall · Post #213 » by **Catchall** » Sun Oct 6, 2019 4:43 am

Here are those Jazz v. Adelaide 36'ers highlights you've been aching for. Mitchell, Conley and Gobert didn't play...

I wanna see the AD/Lebron front court battle against Embiid and Horford.

Warriors don't even have a first team right now. We knew LeBron at PG will be a freight train and AD will be AD. We don't know if AD will stay. If Vogel can coach this team? Can Pelinka be a good rookie GM and who will he backstab next? How good will the Clippers be? Rockets? Jazz? Nugz? Blazers? Warriors? Spurs? So many story lines to be written. It's too early; it's only preseason, man.

Teams will have issues pretty frequently when Murray, White, and Walker on the court at the same time for the Spurs. Especially if Keldon Johnson gets into the mix.

Watch on YouTube

But, its only pre-season.

Post #219 » by **infinite11285** » Sun Oct 6, 2019 5:09 am

Davis/McGee/Howard combined for 41 points and 32 rebounds, and neither of one of them played more than 20 mins.

Collectively, that's excellent production from the C spot (yes, AD played some mins at the 5).

their rebounding is gonna be dreadful

How many times will the phrase "it's only preseason" be used in this thread on average?
