On Sunday, the Pistons beat the Bucks, 120-87. It's preseason but still a surprising score.

It's the Pistons, so I imagine, their preseason team is much like their regular season team, whereas Milwaukee only played guys that either won't play in the regular season or won't make the team at all.

All speculation of course.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton were out, but the Bucks still played some good players.

Against Detroit, I'm more anxious to see how the Suns bench evolves. It was exciting to see all the new players against the Lakers.

I was deeply impressed with how well Ighodaro played. He was the very definition of "hitting the ground running." Didn't the Suns draft him in the second round? If so, he may prove to be one of the steals of that draft.

It's sort of refreshing to see younger guys (even if inexperienced) running around the floor and flying all over the court. For once the team doesn't feel like Cocoon the movie.

My early overreaction is that Ighodaro should get the Bol Bol development minutes.
