I picked the Rockets to have the number 1 seed but I might have to take that back

Mitchell is matching Lillard bucket for bucket. His game has matured.

I honestly think RJ looks alright tbh.

DSJ is just absolutely dreadful though, I can't believe he's the asset the knicks got back from the KP trade, what a highway robbery.
He's legit just athletic, that's it. Has bad vision, bad finisher, bad shot, bad defender. Horrible prospect

i gotta feel bad for the knicks and their fans.i dont see any promise in dsj or ntilinkia. it was not just highway robbery, it was strong-arm and raping. as for some of the youth like knox, he looks like he's continuing from last year as chuck first, undersized tweener?? he also looks really slow for some reason. and RJ... i just dont see franchise savior like how zion is saving the pels. he's getting corraled out there and is being dared to shoot and his percentages are horrid right now. he's young, hopefully he can at least turn into a zach lavine ceiling??

It's too early to say anything about Barrett, the positives for me are that he does other things when he's not scoring well, like running the offense and rebounding. I would think people would hold off on rookie evaluations after what happened with Trae Young last year in summer league, preseason and the first half of the season.

DSJ is a lost cause though, he does nothing well, Frank isn't a PG but I could see him being like Josh Richardson as a guy who is a 2 on offense but can defend 1s on defense. The biggest issue in all of this is that Fizdale is not a good developmental coach, there's no way that Mitch should be coming off the bench but this idiot says he's going to make him work for the starting spot as though he didn't work last year, or that he'll just stop working if he's given the spot.

Kinda sad D'Antoni had Harden out there down 25+ with less than 6 to go in a preseason game just so he could score 40

Also, looking at their lineup they are tailor made for KAT

They understand cr needs some reeforcement with his confidence. Healthy competition is a good thing for those two...

Regarding Kat, you know the entire league wants him. He's the missing piece for atl. Hate to even fantasies about it unless a birdie got a message through...

I'm high on Huerter, he was surprisingly good and fits with starters.

I saw the lineup with Len tonight and just thought to myself how deadly & balanced that lineup would be with KAT instead.

This Knicks team is terrible.

How tall is Trae Young..There is no way he is actually 6'2. He looks about 5'10

Of course he couldn’t make the FT

Few Notes from peaking at different games online

-Hawks next step will be getting better collectively on defense. Carter was yelling at his guys to get in position and play strong defense. All of them are young but they need to show progression all around this year.

-How in the hell did Westbrook have 8 turnovers???!! Usual god games from Harden like tonight would push his team to a win no matter what happens I would of bad Westbrook will neutralize those games?

-Reggie Jackson needs to be traded. Did not play but I hate his fit on the pistons.

-Trae Young with zero turnovers and eight assists someone finally told him to keep it simple.

-Seems like all the Knicks young players struggle beside Mitchell. The veterans look solid on the team the young guys need to keep up

-SGA should average 20.0 ppg in OKC

-Memphis might suck but they should be entertaining

Portland's bench doesn't have much on it.

Seeing as your a hawks fan, what're your thoughts on Collins?

Personally admittedly I'm not high on his prospects on a contender, purely because of his inability to defend or space the floor and his lack of ability to play the 5.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on his future and what role he could play for you guys if you were to contend.

Russell looks bad in GS... will be a neutral asset by Christmas

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