    Murray has looked decent so far.

    Rupert gives me major Aminu vibes, in none of the good ways.

    It's just interesting because one of the knocks on Salaun was that he doesn't have a feel for the game yet, and I see that same thing with Rupert.

    This game is important if for no other reason than to remind me how shitty the season will be

    Rupert feels like he’s in panic mode whenever he has the ball.

    Eh, at least the regular season will have Scoot/Shae/Deni.

    I see why Mcgowens was waived by the hornets.

    Clingan just seems slow. I'm sure he's gonna be fine but first impression is..... journeyman big man. I don't see how people thought he was the best player in the draft.

    Biggest thing that stands out to me is that he doesn't seem to look completely uncoordinated like most rookies. He's good at going straight up and trying to avoid contact. I think he can play right away. But how good is a center that's just not really an offensive threat at all?

    People saying to trade Ayton are foolish.

    Nobody can fucking shoot. I can’t believe anyone anywhere would think Ayton can be traded. Nfw

    Scoot isn’t good enough to be just sitting there.
