EG is still a threat, which is more than you can say for Okogie and Saben. I like Saben out there as a quicker ballhandler and dribble drive threat but he doesn't even look at the basket when the ball is kicked out to him. We just need EG to get hot for a stretch.

He doesn't look to shoot from outside, unless he is wide wide open. I'm more surprised that he even looks to pass when he drives to the basket though.

But he will take an open 28 footer. In general, the good shooters drive me crazy when they don't take the open three. Bol does this a lot as well as a lot of other guys. Be ready to shoot and if you're open, let it fly!

The new Book 1s are really nice and clean, lots of cool details. I bought my true size, but needed to buy a half size larger. So, my middle son now has a new pair of Book 1s. He's super stoked, but feels guilty about it. I'm good, I'll just try to get the next ones.

Are you guys saying these are smaller than normal Nikes? I'm worried now.

Tbh, I haven't worn Nikes in a number of years. I have been loving my Adidas Ultraboosts, so I've stuck with those. In those, I wear an 11. I'm not looking to wear them on the court, so casual would be more comfortable with at least a half size larger, imo.

Ultraboosts are basically the only thing I wear too

Ok, guys. You convinced me. Just bought a pair at the Adidas store in Vegas.

Nice. How do they fit so far?

Great! Spent most of the day walking in them.
