    Bzdelik will get that defense fixed. It's early and new roster.

    NAW has got to be the 2nd best rookie in the association behind Zion. Nobody nationally is really noticing because...Zion. For a rookie that dude is clutch.

    Utah playing with that kind of pace Is something I thought I would never see. Conley's speed and playmaking gives them a totally different look. Bogdanovich is a perfect fit. Utah addressed their weaknesses this past off-season. I see why everyone is so excited about them.

    Yeah, getting rid of Rubio and adding spacing does bother me.

    I'm very impressed with Zion I thought he would struggle vs NBA level athletes cuz he is undersized but so far he is playing very well to his strengths. It may change later on once he gets scouted but so far so good. I guess Zion is a smaller but more athletic Lebron but he really needs to develop some skills moving forward, his body is gonna break down quickly if he always need to sky high for buckets. Alexander Walker also is playing great, now they just need Jaxson Hayes to show up and play like he did in SL and they would be 3/3 on their picks.

    I am also impressed with Lonzo Ball so far he is proving his dad and everyone who picked Young in the "Lonzo vs Trae Young" thread wrong.

    No way man Wicky Wubio is the key to a championship formula or so I've been told.

    They are already 4/4 on their picks. Didi Louzada seems to be tearing up the NBL. Jaxson Hayes needs to add weight so they arent rushing him and no need to.

    And Zion isnt a smaller Lebron. They are nearly the same height and Zion is definitely thicker than Lebron. If Zion is undersized then Draymond must be a midget at that position.

    +1. That was a good draft pick. He looks real solid.

    Bruh how are they the same height? Draymond is a better comparison to Zion than Lebron when it comes to height. There's a reason Zion didnt go to the draft combine he might be just 6'5 without shoes.

    smh, I was looking forward to watching the Pelicans today, but their game against the Spurs isn’t even televised

    None of the Spurs’ preseason games have been televised. How cheap are these guys? What is this? 2002?

    Carsen seems to be a natural scorer.

    Edwards demonstrating classic Sweep n Sway shooting mechanics for added power.

    #NBATwitter -- Harden jumping forward on 3s isn't a natural basketball move.
