Oops I didn’t see this. Someone kill the one I started.

Free throw shooting is going to be a bad problem I can tell.

The screen actions Washington runs with their shooters are going to be really difficult to defend against.

One thing I'm actually excited again for this season is you're more than likely to always have 5 players on the court who want to play basketball and want to compete no matter if they are fringe NBA players

Seriously. Everyone is committed to guarding their man and moving the ball, it's been years since we've had a squad that hustles like this

Has this been a trend? I haven't noticed a lot of missed FTs in the other games

It hasn't but I just sense we'll have bad free throw shooting.

I mean, we were 16th last season and have more shooters in the lineup now . Not sure if I really see that being the case.

It's just an usually bad showing at the line from Hachimura and Bryant. Good for them to get it out of their system now I guess.

Like it or don't, Chris Chiozza is the best healthy PG on the roster. There's talent in Bonga on the defensive end, and his size is a big plus, but he's too far... too far... too far away from being an NBA player. Robinson is what he is - a mediocre talent who might become an okay NBA backup. Chiozza will never be more than a backup, but he gets everything he can from what he has - his hustle and smarts make me root for him.

Schofield... I'd rather have Justin Anderson. Why haven't Jones and McRae played?

The proverbial "wheat' is starting to separate from the chaff here .

Anderson, Chiozza, Bonga (longterm development upside) look like keepers for this season.
Robinson, Schofield, Jones haven't done enough to earn an NBA roster spot - they can spend a year in the G-League and try to latch on somewhere next season

Looked like Bonga limped off the court - he's in so far over his head in the NBA - and now probably injured.

Nice run here. A lot of drive and kick opportunities for three in this offense is fun to watch
