RJ Barrett needs to work on his shot. 1-6 FG | 1/2 FT

His defense on Bradly Beal is impressive.

He’s not really into the offensive side since we have a lot of vets looking to score. Looks hesitant

Marcus Morris looking like Carmelo with all the crazy shots. Randle is looking like a beast. Knox looks like a complete different player. Payton will for sure compete for the starting job. Mitchell Robinson attempted a mid range shot and missed, I don’t think he attempted one at all his rookie year.

The defense looks GREAT. Knicks are pushing the pace, looking to score down low and doing it with ease.

Great news. I suspect he had some battles coming into the league that he seems to be over.

Trae is going to be an offensive juggernaut.

Jabari may just end up being a huge steal in free agency for the Hawks. I can see his game fitting perfectly with this Hawks team off the bench.

People thought I was playing when I said they could have really used Okafor on team USA this summer. They needed some damn size!

He resurrected himself last season with the Pelicans.

He's been the Pels 3rd best player in the 1st quarter. Good on him for getting in shape and molding his game. The ball no longer sticks in his hands anymore.

ideal to run 2nd unit half court through him if the game bogs down. Been saying it. will keep saying it.

For a young team with a bunch of new players the pelicans have some damn good ball movement for game 1 of preseason

For a long time Ive been saying he is the closest thing to Kawhi coming out of SDSU that we have seen. So many similarities between them. At the very minimum he is an elite 3&D guy.

Why? Nice guy and nice game. Have to love his unselfish style of play. Plays hard D and always looks to setup his teammates.

This team is built for him if he buys in he’s going to get paid feeding zion and Jrue

With how fast the Pels play, Zion is going to be pushing 20ppg this year.

Hot take: 280 pound 19 year old kid with the first step and agility of a guard and 45 inch vert will still dominate "men".

I think some people were put off by his less than flashy offensive style, but that's UVA basketball for you

The tempo of this game is next level

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