    Simons moves different than anyone else. He really might be the most naturally gifted player on our team. In fact, he is. Holy shit his ceiling.

    Bazemore's defense is way better than his offense. He could be frustrating to watch if he can't pass the ball.

    Tolliver draws a charge! I feel like we'll be saying that a lot. Isn't he one of the best per minute at that?

    Tolliver looks bad. That shot is Aminu-like right now.

    I would like to see Simons and Hezonja bringing the ball up instead of Bazemore.

    Hezonia is doing exactly what I thought he would do in this offense. If we're going to compare his contributions to Turner, then he's a massive upgrade IMO. If we don't compare his contributions to Turner, then he's a great and necessary addition to our second unit

    He's so fast though he can still get to it. But if he can go left itd make him nearly unstoppable with a head of steam. Teams will scout to take away his right at some point and he'll have to go left.

    I think the improved shooting is going to come from guys that were on the team last season - Collins, Hood, and Simons.

    Tolliver......I thought you were a good 3 point shooter?

    Whiteside looks a step slower than our offense. He needs to speed it up.

    Whiteside looks out of shape to me. What’s the ETA on Nurk? Christmas?

    I like the second unit but Baze and Tolliver gotta shoot better. Love the pace they’re playing with though. Simons and Super Mario could be our Lou Williams and Harrell

    Mario fits this super high-tempo offense. I'm not sure he's a good halfcourt player but if we never play in the halfcourt then...:dunno:
