Man, Zubac is tearing it up! I can't wait to see what he can do against NBA-level competition in the preseason. _________________ "I like looking at a guy's face when he realizes that even his best moves aren't going to work on me all night. They look depressed." - Ron Artest

Thank you for the video. I couldn't find it on youtube. It's funny the difference that is seen when D'lo isn't on the team. This really let the others show what they are made of. Not being an NCAA guy, I literally knew nothing about Ingram. But after watching this game, I feel a lost more comfortable with his game. Goodness the guy is like a spider -- freakishly tall, lanky and skinny! Zublocka, too. Sheesh does that guy have a sixth sense for the ball. A-Brown, finally making some 3's, too haha. Looking forward to this season! _________________

Thanks as always CaCHooka_Man. You are appreciated brother!
I missed the game, but just from watching the other 4 games and these highlights, I have a few thoughts:
1) Ingram is special. We're down 88-91. He passes to Brown with the intent on getting it back because he was wide open behind the 3pt line and was looking for the ball. Usually at the end of games when we see a pass like that it is to have the player passed to shoot it. In my mind it looks like Ingram passed it to Brown and had the presence of mind to get open. These were split second decisions that highlight his advanced hoops IQ. I won't even touch on his career high 22 on 9/13 FGAs. Even if we got the #1 pick, I wanted Ingram all along.
2) Zublocka is a player. He does little things like get open when his lesser talented teammates (minus Ingram of course) has the ball and making himself an available target both inside and outside (his midrange jumper is solid already). He blocks shots that he keeps in play rather than sending to the 6th row. He alters muliple other shots. He sets good picks. And most importantly, like Ingram, he's coachable. I'll be interested to see how many minutes he gets this year. He has surprised...and to think him and Ingram are only 18 and 19 years old? Wow! I hope Cap gets to work with this kid.
3) I sincerely hope that Auguste gets a camp invite. He brings an energy that all teams need. Back in the '80s or '90s he'd be considered a tweeter, but not in Luke's offense in today's game. He defends, he rebounds, he runs the floor, he finishes, and you don't have to call plays for him. I love underdog players like him. I'm sure he'll get a fair shot to make this club. I'll be rooting for him.
In 2-3 years FAs will want to play with D'LO, Randle, Clarkson, Nance, Ingram, and Zublocka. That's a hell of a young core to build upon. Our future is bright LG!
