Doubt Canaan is 4th. He may well be the 1st or 2nd right now. He just isn't playing because he is injured.
Since he hasn’t played and not on a guaranteed contract, right now he is the 4th, yes. Now when he does finally play he’ll probably immediately become 2nd just by stepping on the floor.

The Breakers team gets my respect with their nearest opponent 4 hours away during the season.

You mean 2nd and 3rd. Canaan is the 4th. :)

That’s depressing.


No, they're 3rd and 4th based on their play. Canaan not playing hasn't hurt him. They've shown they're not ready, at all. Harrison and Canaan are tied for 2nd now with no 1st string on the roster. Harrison might have a slight lead on Canaan only because he hasn't screwed up yet. He looks like a backup though, which is how Canaan looked before.

That Ayton interview during half time was good. I don't care for Leander but I really liked that. Showed who Ayton is some more. Seems like a great kid.

Webster might be our 2nd stringer after this game. Can we send a guaranteed deal to the Australian league?

This theoretical stuff is fun, but not the reality.

Only none are 1st string is if Booker starts at PG. I think many fans need to resign themselves to the fact that we aren’t trading for a better PG.

Great to see that Anderson 3. If he can spread the court that will help a lot.

When you see Ayton and you know Bender, we now have a legit one, two punch! :)

(just think if we had a PG to go with these two!)

Ayton is a machine.

Len would have never caught that pass Ayton just caught!

The last foul on Jackson was bogus, but he shouldn’t have 5 fouls already this early in the game.

Ariza is having a really good game.

Is he? Its good but I thought he looked like he usually does. I could be wrong though but this is about what I expected from him. He's a solid player, just doesn't fill a need. I like what he brings as a veteran leader though and having one who can produce should help rub off on others.

Harrison is really bad. Reminds me of Knight when he drives to the rim.

3 of our needs this summer were shooting, vets and defense. How does he not fill a need?

He's 3/5 from three, has 16 points and 5 assists. Only Ayton has a better +-. I'd say it's a really good game.
