I think right now, Bridges should start at the 3 spot over Warren and Jackson when season starts imo. Jackson's not a competent enough shooter to start again when we're not actively tanking.
I would agree but I can’t see the Suns having the balls to do that.

None of these players have earned a starting spot aside from Booker.

Keita Bates-Diop is going to be absolutely tremendous for Minnesota. Perfect smallball 4.
Yep, I really liked him...I'm happy with Okobo at 31, but kbd falling to 48 was ridiculous..would have loved to move up from 58 and get him

So much bashing on Trae Young on social media. People forget how Steph Curry himself was a nobody for like his first 3-4 years in the league that nobody gave a **** about.

Trae is way younger than Steph when he even came into the league. Kid's gonna be good.

Trae is already a much better passer than Steph at the same age imo.
Steph was great from the start...he took another leap into MVP level, but he was 18/6/5 as a rookie and shot 44% from 3. He was older than Trae, but I'll be surprised if Trae ever hits those numbers in his career

I would love to get my hands on Isaac... Perfect 4 next to Ayton IMO... It was essentially a toss up for me between him and Jackson last year, but I'd definitely trade Jackson for him now... Especially with Bridges here

It's amazing how many NBA players get called for traveling when making that same move that Isaac did because they forget which move they used to pivot. Bender did it last game when he shot faked and took one step before dribbling.

It's just crazy how often professional basketball players can't make this move without traveling.

On topic, Isaac did it wonderfully here and you're absolutely right. He's going to be a beast defensively and is a very nice and humble kid as well.

KBD plays every bit like Draymond Green imo. I was praying that he doesn't fall to a WCF team and he of course gets drafted by the TWolves, the most perfect compliment to Towns.

Yeah, I was strongly in the Isaac camp instead of Jackson. I would trade more than Josh to get him, too.

Cedi Osman is like LeBron with better FT shooting. The Cavs are going back to the finals next season 8-)

I just came to post this....he was the 31st pick in the 2015 draft. This is what we've been expecting from Bender

I ultimately put Isaac ahead of Jackson, but just barely. Hopefully Jackson figures out his shot and we don't have to worry about passing on Isaac

Yep. Exactly. That was what I hoped we were drafting at the time in a 7 foot frame.

As far as I know, the schedule is not set until after today's games. Here's the schedule:

I hope we play the Bulls or Knicks. Would love to see Wendell Carter vs Ayton. Or Knox vs Ayton.

Not sure you'd get any Knox vs Ayton in that matchup seeing as Knox is a SF. I'd like to see Bridges vs Knox, and to a lesser extent Jackson vs Knox.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

So, a possible 6 more games? Does that seem like a lot? Igor is still undefeated with his combination of EuroCup and Summer League. Probably wants to keep it going.

No, 5 more to win the championship.

Plus, you have to win a grueling 4 days in a row starting on Saturday to win it all.
