I don't understand how the Nuggets let Collin Gillespie walk.

You are being to nice. He's not an NBA player, and 3-4 more years isn't likely to change that. He has unrealistic expectations on him just because of who is dad is. On the other hand he gets to make a few million dollars when better players never will. So I don't feel to bad for him.I feel bad for Bronny. Dude is the epitome of the guy who needed 3-4 years of development and maturity in college. Instead, is fast tracked by his dad to fulfill his own personal dream. Completely unfair to the kid who got some pretty crappy advice. He’s not good and wont ever be good, and its not his fault
It's interesting, Dunn is all defense, and Oso is all offense.Hard to take anything all that serious from a preseason game, but I do like that Dunn and Oso saw minutes with the "stars", makes me think the plan is for them to be in the rotation early.
But that’s always been the knock on okogie, he doesn’t consistently.Josh Okogie played very well with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. If he plays like this, someone will want him.
Okogie is a very hungry player, as is Gillespie, to name a couple.
Bronny was a high 4-star recruit in high school and looked legit his senior year. Had his recruitment not been so telegraphed, he could’ve ended up at a better school than USC, and would have gotten better coaching and development than what Andy Enfield was able to offer. I doubt he would be a perennial all-star, but he has the makings of a solid rotational player, and that potential won’t be unearthed by expediting him thru the systemYou are being to nice.

We'll take your word for it. At least last night, he didn't look like an NBA player at all.Bronny was a high 4-star recruit in high school and looked legit his senior year.

Agree. He’s looked lost all offseason. I also think the pressure of being LeBron’s son is not helping him mentally. I can’t see a situation in which Bronny’s NBA career continues past LeBron’s retirement. I hope his passport is up to dateWe'll take your word for it.

Some thoughts on the game...
Oso looks NBA ready. He did a lot of helpful things, both in terms of putting himself in good spots, playing some good D and above average instincts as a passer.
Dunn looked like a defensive difference maker and his 3 point stroke looks better than expected.
More than anything, it's nice to see some young blood and energy out there.
Tyus Jones looks like a legit player - crazy we got him for the minimum.
Grayson looks fat and slow - it's one game, but his dramatic weight gain is looking questionable so far.
Overall, the vibes were very positive, and Durant seemed more engaged and interested in being a leader.
Fun game, and if Damion Lee can keep playing/shooting like that, he'll earn minutes.
i saw reeves try to body grayson and grayson just had his way with reevesI'm not sure about the thinking about Grayson putting on weight and muscle, but I think he doesn't have enough height to play wing.
He was fine at his previous weight to play his true position, shooting guard. I guess he will slim down, but it will take some time.

buffson > frailsonEven so, Grayson looked like a shot putter out there. I would rather he gets back to his old physique.
What a pass from Oso to Okogie with a great finish.

Is that a sarcastic tweet?
Happens more often than i thought:Funny aside: Ryan Dunn wore #0 and Royce O'Neale wore #00. Didn't know if that was even possible in the NBA.
I'm not sure why it would be a sarcastic tweet because Oso made a laser one-handed pass to Okogie in the corner which led to a basket. Good play by both players
Embellishing was probably the better word. That was a basic NBA pass.
