It's still early, but he hasn't shown much for someone who was expected to compete for the 5th starting spot.

KBD is officially my most disappointing addition so far.

He has looked rough so far but Metu looks a lot better than I expected.

Nurkic... he looks slow and his outside shoot looks absolutely terrible.

Huh? Nurk has looked good this game so far.

 

[Proximo]

This court/jersey combo is beauty.

I do like the court better than I expected.

 

[ProdigalSun]

At least Nurkic is shooting and making some free throws

 

[SunsTzu]

KBD had a really nice block and kept some loose balls alive. He hasn't really had any time with the big 3 yet, hopefully he'll shine more as a complimentary player.

 

[Germz249]

I like what I see against their starters..

Seems to be able to get joker in foul trouble too. he may help us against this team.

If you can hold Jokic to 4-11, 9 pts and 4 rebounds in 2 quarters of professional basketball - I don't care how slow you look

Nurk also outscored Jokic btw - Nurk had 1 less rebound but Jokic was also 0-3 from beyond so...

Vogel put Saban back in, so there is definitely an interest in a traditional PG. wonder if that changes.

The big 3 are out, aside from them there’s no one else to really dribble the ball up and initiate the offense.

 

[Proximo]

Neither Gordon or Allen seem very good at playing point. We probably need to stagger book and Beal. Maybe Goodwin but that is a really small lineup.

The jerseys are awful

Incorrect. EG was doing it better than Saban was.

Gordon was fine. We don’t need old man Paul running the show.

 

[95pro]

Metu first quarter was active out there. He looks like a shorter Ayton with more motor.

This entire roster is an upgrade from last year, saying that lightly.

 

[95pro]

Incorrect. EG was doing it better than Saban was.

Off the ball yeah but not bringing it up and initiating the offense. But we all know eg does things like that, attacking the basket.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Another note:
Allen started out on the shiddy committee but stuck with it - turned it around - and started producing

 

[95pro]

Reggie looks washed. Horrible shot then JO scores on him.

 

[Chaplin]

JO is clearly the 5th starter so far IMO.

It's still early, but he hasn't shown much for someone who was expected to compete for the 5th starting spot.

I think he'd play better in the starting 5 where he doesn't really need to handle the ball at all.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm thrilled to have Saban Lee on a two-way contract. Not quite sure what people expect from him.

 

[Folster]

Don't take weight training advice from EJ.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Okogie with a really nice pass to Eubanks, too bad he overthought and missed it

 

[Chaplin]

It’s going to be weird with you guys watching the local broadcast and us out of staters watching the national.

 

[95pro]

Allen attacked Reggie. Reggie threw it away. Now Reggie drives nowhere and it should have been off him.
