Okay, I love Yuta, but I kind of just want him to camp out at the 3-point line. When he tries to lead the break or drive to the basket, not so much.

Saben Lee sucks. Go away.

[TOO]

Strawther looks like Jordan Poole.

Nice night for Okogie. I hope he continues to grow confident in his shot. He’ll be a helluva starter.

BOL BOL!!!

It is interesting that we’ve sorta run Keon Johnson as a pg…is that more necessity? Or does he have some pg skills? He’s been able to get into the paint a bit

[TOO]

Aaron Gordon dressed like a pirate. Neat

[Wally_West]

KBD!!!

Lol looks like an extra on this flag means death

[Split T]

Keon intrigues me…not as someone to get minutes or even necessarily a roster spot, but I do think he has some potential as an athletic defensive guard. I hope we can at least keep him on a 2-way

[Split T]

KBD does look better…I’ve only seen the 4th Q though

[Wally_West]

I refuse to pronounce Braun as Brown. Fuck you.

[Wally_West]

Not a fan of how good the Nuggets rookies look. Smh. I need Denver to take a good step back.

Hmm. I had this one on in the background and half-watched it while dealing with kid stuff. Random thoughts: Okogie had a nice night. Allen is a savvy vet and makes it look effortless; really like him so far. Saben Lee played much better and had 9 assists; still not a huge fan but it was good to see him bounce back from the last game. Nurkic drew a lot of contact and shot 8-8 FTs. It was fun to watch Bol Bol; he's just so weird and freakish, a bit similar to JaVale when he was here but younger and even more chaotic. I was excited about Little and hoped he would give us more; hoping to see more from him in future games. Eubanks doesn't get very impressive stats but I like the way he plays, a smart player and dirt worker.

Summary: Wow, this team is deep. You can just rest our 3 best guys and still field a competitive NBA team. They are clearly still learning to play together; there were several plays where somebody would make a pass but incorrectly anticipate where their teammate was going, leading to throwing the ball out of bounds. They'll figure that out as they play together more.

[TOO]

I enjoyed Nurkic and Okogie. Also, feel extremely comfortable when Yuta shoots corner 3s.

Man, that Strawther. Sheesh. Doesn’t miss.

It would be nice if we could have a rookie. Some year. Just once.

[JeremyG]

Saben Lee sucks. Go away.

His stats look decent but the eye test wasn't great, and that -23 stands out like a sore thumb when looking at the rest of the lineup.

[JeremyG]

KBD and Bol both did a lot of good things but with some bad plays mixed in. I hope to see very little of Little.

I’d rather have KD…we do have our 1st rounder this year
