I love the uncomfortable interviews where players just say team sports buzzwords :lol:

Even though Jaylen Nowell missed a few shots today he shows all the stuff you need to see. I loved him at Washington and he's going to be really good here. He just needs minutes.

John Egbunu is an interesting big undrafted in 2018. He's 6'10 250 played some G League. He's got 2 pts 3 boards in 6 minutes. Unfortunately he's 0-4 from the line.

Going from watching FIBA basketball at the Olympics back to the NBA is jarring. So many ball stoppages, so many commercials, so many fouls. FIBA is lighting fast comparatively. We have really pumped the game full of capitalism and time-wasting drama. It is so manufactured.

Knight has some nice touch on his shot from the midrange area/free throws. 3 still a work in progress but he has the range

Jaden definitely needs to put a few year's work into his handle, it's very loose.

Wow 8 assist from McDaniels? * board and 8 dimes? I missed most of those passes.

Don't think it will ever be his game

RCov couldn't dribble either, so not the end of the world

Just need to be able to attack closeouts
