Agreed.
Win would have been nice but how the young guys doing is more important. Would have been nice if no cramps or injuries to BI and Hart but as long as they're healthy in season that's all that really counts |

Hart and Kuzma are those type of players. |

Tatum reminds me a lot of Melo. Great midrange ISO scorers that don't pass or play defense. These kind of players dominate summer league. If he can do this against NBA defenders, he will be the next Melo. |

I fear he is looking more like the next Kevin Durant and we passed on this |

Not tall/lengthy enough to be KD...Clarkson was almost eye to eye with him. |

did lonzo even go to the line? |
If anything is a potential problem, is Lonzo's lack of aggressiveness to get to the line. Passing up shots when you're already at the rim is another, but the simple solution to passing up shots is NOT passing up shots. Not getting to the line means being able and willing to draw contact. That's both mental and physical. |

I am not a head coach and have never been a head coach but evan I can figure out the rotation for this team.
Bring Blue Ware Caruso Bryant and Dozier in as your second unit. Let Blue go one on one and kick it to Ware when he gets doubled. _________________ Keep winning! |

In hindsight Jud actually coached us out of both games. Injuries were just another bad fluke thing that happened but we should have pulled out Ws in both games regardless. Hopefully Hart's injury is nothing too serious either. |

Nah, BI is closer to that than Tatum. |

Not to be a downer but Zo's defense tonight looked worse than Tatum's and I don't exactly blame Tatum for not passing. Brown who was supposed to be the vet of the group was flat out terrible |

Not as tall, not as long, not as athletic, and not near the shooter. |

Tatum is young too, lets not try and marginalize him because we passed on him. Dude is looking like a legit all star potential prospect so far. It also helps that he has a top 5 coach coaching him so he won't be held back there. |

I was impressed with his d tonight...active hands...only got credit for one steal and one block but I'm sure he pried a couple more loose and was in on a couple of blocks...contesting shots was unexpected |

Awesome day for the young guys Kuzma, hart and of course Lonzo. Lonzo is going to be really good. I wonder if he would have a shot at beating triple doubles in a rookie seaso. Don't know what the record is but I would expect like 8 or 10 form himas possible if he plays every game. |
