Well at least we have two NBA quality starters. Then what 3 over the hill former starters that may or may not be okay this year. Two other players that have shown potential but need to show more. Then a bunch of scrubs and young guys who haven't shown really much of anything.

Ah well it is an upgrade from last year and our two NBA quality starters are pretty good.

For all the idiots who said that Doncic only looked because he played against a non NBA team, well he beat that team by 53 while the Suns just barely beat a non NBA team at home by 5..... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ayton has looked good and Doncic has looked good....just hard for some to grasp that without finding a way to bash Doncic along the way.

Sooo, Barrett? Reddish? Williamson? LIttle? Who we like?
Reddish has gotten the "he doesn't play with enough passion" label but I love his skill set. Haven't really didn't much time looking into anybody yet though. Still hoping we end up late lotto. A guy like DeAndre Hunter could be real nice there.
I'm mostly kidding. I really hope we are not in range to draft any of those guys. But tonight was definitely a wake-up call regarding out PG situation. Who knew punting on an entire position was going to be a poor strategy?!

Ariza actually looked really good tonight. Jackson is still a work in progress, but add a PG to the Booker/Jackson/Ariza/Ayton lineup and we'd have something.

Another thing to note - TJ looks like he is the exact same player he has been for the last 3 seasons.

I agree. He hasn't added a single thing to his game. Every once in awhile he tries a little harder on defense and when he does he approaches below average. :P

Harrison isn't really a PG. He's got value, but he's gonna look bad as a starting NBA PG. I think we might need to go get one. I like Okobo and Melton as prospects, but they're not ready. Beverley would be nice...maybe the clippers would be interested in Bender?
beverley played off the ball most of the time in houston, and was outplayed by SGA in the last game.
Well I love SGA, that doesn't surprise me. And we don't need Beverley to be ball dominant. He can shoot and he's a capable playmaker. Plus he defends like crazy. That's all we need.
so who's the playmaker? and there is no evidence that beverley can run the offense. he's an undersized off guard that defense pgs well.

I'm glad we're gonna win, but this was an eye opener. Go get a PG McD!

Beverley, Wright, Dinwiddie, Kemba
minnesota timberwolves fiasco redux?

Maybe give him more than 15 minutes to make that decision.
I called Chriss being trash after his first season and a bunch of idiots said how he's so young and he needs more than just one season.

So nah I'll trust myself.
You should probably go and get yourself a job as an NBA scout then, you'll probably make a lot of money.
Already make too much as it is.
LOLLLL. Damn you are cool bro
Lmao. Pretty soon he’ll brag about his dick size next.


“Bunch of idiots” huh. You’re so endearing.

You’re right, he just had 5 assists and 0 turnovers in 22 minutes tonight. He has no ability to distribute.

I would love for all of our PGs combined to even have 5 assists.

I LOVE how Ayton positions and bodies up for a rebound. He's going to be a beast on the glass.
I've already seen a great improvement from him in that area since college and summer league. At this rate, he's going to be in the Hall of Fame in five years. :shock:

I also wanted to shout out the new floor. Seen that they finally fixed that floor, which was embarrassing last year.
What did they do? I didn't even notice it.

Yeah, all 17 minutes on the court he shared with Milos. Lol. Ok buddy. I’d love to see any of our players average 5 assists per 36 with less than 2 TOs. I don’t give two shits what position you want to call him, at those stats he isn’t that off the ball.

Lol what else am I supposed to say someone gives me unsolicited advice on making money. It's the same thing I say when I get telemarketers calling me talking about how they have a plan for me to make so much money that I can retire in 5 years. Again, unsolicited advice.

Congrats, you called trash on a guy who had very few fans and had never showed any real basketball skill. 3/4 of this board made that same call.

But you do you, and feel free to hide in the shadows when Bridges turns into a solid player.
Nope, don't have a problem admitting when I'm wrong.
Well I look forward to it
Would love to be wrong on this too considering the valuable assets given up to trade up and take him.
