Didn’t think much of him, but apparently at one point he was supposed to be a top 5 pick or recruit? His offensive game reminds me of KD archetype where he can pull up over the defense, has nice handles but is also very weak (although far inferior). Very long, very fluid.

He takes really difficult shots. I think he is going to be a professional, though, and will improve as he learns to pick his spots. His shot selection did improve over the year with Kentucky, but that team was a mess outside of Clarke (rip) and Jackson.

Lakers look bad

Man, Sacramento's backcourt is deep. Mitchell is impressive.

Liked what I've seen so far from Mann and Boston for the Clippers.

I absolutely love Barnes level of activity. As a Pistons fan, his level of activity, and tenacity reminds me a lot of Ben Wallace.

Motor running at 100% all the damn time. It may take him some time to put it altogether, but he's going to be that guy, every team hates playing against.

This Raptors Sixers game is practically unwatchable, refs blowing the whistle any time either team gets into a half court set.

Halftime in Charlotte, Grizzlies lead 73-43. All starters for the Grizzlies have exactly 11 points.

Bruh Adams has 14 rebounds in the first half

On super soft blocking calls. Just took the flow out of the game...

Time to see the Heat line-up in action.

Prediction, health and injury aside I think Butler will be better than Mitchell. Watched them both in College, I liked Butler more for NBA. Both very good roleplayer types.

Lowry going to be a game changer for the heat

Jalen Green looks ridiculously good

Energy the heat have for a pre-season game is crazy. If they play at that level all season they're going to win a TON of games

Also Kevin Porter Jr is looking like he's picking up where he left off and more. With the addition of Theis, organic improvement from Wood, the Rockets might actually be a somewhat competitive

They're going to be too bad defensively this year imo

Could be right. Theis looks good on that side and Jae'Sean showed some promise there as well. John wall is a good defender when he tries but I guess he is already on his way out

Bam/Herro are going to have career years with Lowry making things so easy.
