OKC is going to be fun to watch. Giddey will make it easy for Chet Dieng and JW


Don't think Dieng needs any help, he looks like he has a deep bag to get his shot off. Not hitting but the shot looks smooth, it will come down to efficiency for him.

But yeah OKC is stacked for future, I think they struggle to tank this year even.

Pelicans goofed bigtime.. Dieng is essentially a 6'10 point and wouldve fit what they needed perfectly..

Isn’t Ingram a 6’10 point?

He was for the lakers since Lonzo couldn't run point, but seems like more of a pure/big wing now

Yeah, they have a lot of exciting talent. The size of Giddey and Dieng really helps to support Chet's rebounding too.

They still have buckets of picks, a real threat in a few years.

I don’t see it. They couldn’t win with Durant who is a top 15 all timer because they were too cheap. Unless they consolidate and trade for a star they will have to start paying these guys when their rookie deals are up.

Lofton Jr. looks so much like a young Z-Bo that it's freaky. Hefty southpaw with a soft touch playing for the Grizz. Can it get any better than that? Kid's gonna knock over rail thin guys the league is moving towards like bowling pins.

I want Lofton Jr. in the league just for the entertainment value, can we have a game where it's just him and Sengun posting each other up?

Paulo has "it". You can't explain it, but you know it when you see it. Dude is showing the **** out.

I actually think Houstan will be more long-term impactful than Paolo.. Houstan imo should've been a lotto pick and has very Klay-like tendencies. Paolo looks like he will struggle to turn the corner on the perimeter

Paolo is legit gonna turn into great play maker by year 2-3.

He is possibly the biggest play maker in the league assuming he is a tad bigger than Jokic.

Unless Jabari turns into a Klay level shooter, there is no hope he is ever better.

Paolo is proving me wrong early. His shot looks tight and he is fully utilizing his frame to create space. While he isn't quick enough to turn the corner frequently, he has been methodical enough with the ball, probing when he has the advantage.

It is just one game, but Jabari has struggled. With that said, he hasn't had many meaningful opportunities with the ball.

Isn't a take. Just game observations. Profile is the same.

Tari Eason has brought a ton of energy. Have to like what he is showing. Hudgins is small, but has played under control.
