    According to Friedman, Parsons (again) and TD were the standouts today (what you say now roxxy? :p).

    From what I can see from the vids, Parsons looks totally solid.

    I wasn't making fun of TD lol. And yeah checked the videos he looked real good. I think we will see a lot of multiple playmakers which is good. There are a lot of guys that can handle the ball. Parsons, Jones, Machado, Lin, Lamb and don't forget Royce. This is great because one team shouldn't rely on solely one playmaker in my opinion. The more guys that can make plays the better.

    TD can aspire to be a Derek Fisher, right? Prime Fisher was good defensively and drained 3s at a respectable (never prolific) rate. Never could be called a visionary passer or a great playmaker, but he was valuable to the team he was on (Kobe-dominated Lakers). That might be TD's niche in the league.

    I've actually kinda been reasonably impressed with Machado, could turn out better than TD, especially considering how awful TD was last season, though if TD has regained his shot and confidence in real games, that'd be nice.

    Some nice passing from TD in the scrimmages posted by Friedman today, especially the bounce pass to Smith. He's also really standing out because of his defensive intensity.

    hope TD can regain his shot and confidence. I truly felt last year was an anomaly for him.

    I want to see it translate to games but I REALLY like what I have been seeing thus far from him.

    Machado holds his own on offensive but his is a liability at defensive end. He is having a hard time fighting through picks and staying in front. This is something he needs to work out and will get better with experience. Unless Livingston or TD is traded, Machado will start off in the DLeague, which is best for him with plenty of minutes crafting his defensive skills.

    I think I saw him on the sidelines. There was no video of him in the scrimmage. Maybe tomorrow.

    I also agree Machado is terrible on defense & from the players & coaches emphasis of D he will likely be send down to the D-League.

    Hmm, noted, I didn't really pay attention to his defense I guess. TD's defense looked nice and pesky, though my reservations about TD mainly come from seeing him make some really boneheaded decisions and passes last year, hope he fixes that.

    Haha I'm actually not that high on him. Just ribbing you a bit for your comments weeks (months?) ago. In any case, he looks good for now. As does Parsons, Martin, and Asik. Sorta disappointed that PPatt has seemed invisible in the clips we've seen so far.

    Honestly I am not praising or condemning anyone from any of these video's I have seen. It is just scrimmage and everything looks very raw and basic. And yes you do definitely have the right to rib me lol.

    That Marcus Morris STILL hasn't been mentioned as a standout, or even solid, leads me to believe that he's completely done here.

    Chandler's shot looks great. Good arc and smooth shooting motion, just not a quick release.

    Check videos from day 1 or day 2. Someone was ripping his shot after they saw like 20 seconds of video. Overreaction at its finest.
