I love Trez's activity on the backboard. His energy makes up for his height.

Cook hasn't hit crap. He's looking to getting waived by the beginning of the season.

Trez almost has a double double and the first half hasn't ended.

I'm loving what I'm seeing from THT so far. He's a little out of control at times, but he seems to have a knack for creating space. He's listed at 6'4 but he looks long. He might very well be our best young prospect.

Wes matthews is going to be such a key player, eat up those minutes as the primary wing defender.

If THT and Dennis can attack the basket like that, it's going to make things easier for LeBron and AD.

Schroder looks.. so casual when he's pulling up for a jump shot. Funky looking shot.

From this quick look, what 2 guards do you guys like closing games?

I wonder if Carsuo loses time. Matthews and Schroder look like almost 30 min. Maybe a little less for matthews but the majority of the rest to KCP

I was thinking the same. Like I mentioned previously, KCP is inconsistent, especially since he now has a longer term deal. I expect Caruso will take some of KCP's closing minutes.

Theres going to be a lot of competition for minutes this year. I wonder if THT has a breakthrough season this year. That would definitely lead to some guy getting traded if there aren't minutes to give to them. Not a bad problem to have.

Trez is going to get a lot of easy putbacks this year.
