Is it going to be that kind of draft?
Bagley will probably have a better career than Bowie, FWIW.

Ayton looks great on the offensive end. He is kinda just standing around on the help defense the last few plays though.

Ariza looks pretty solid early on
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

That is two for TJ. Where was this in the preseason?

This 2nd unit plays no defense...but that was a pretty sick move by Ariza.

I had no idea how good Ariza would be. I love watching the team with him in.

Wow. Not much not to like except for the inability to stop guard penetration and getting Ayton's back when he correctly rotates on a penetrating guard.

And Tyson Chandler lol

We are looking very good as a team so far. Relying on Ariza a lot, but he is playing well.

The Jamal Crawford coaching session is nice to see.

Good news for Bender is it doesn't take much to be better than Anderson. Although it says volumes that he was unable to outplay him in the preseason. :)

The 2nd unit is playing with more energy and hustle than the starters. They seem scrappier. Jackson looks betters, a little more under control. TJ looking good shooting the 3, Ariza showing he's more than just a shooter.

The camera stayed on Crawford talking to Ayton and I think Bridges on the bench. Looked like his was giving some tips to the youngsters.

What a difference a year makes.

Sure beats the 48 point blowout of last year:
