    I see it going to Paulo. He will have the green light to pull and he can score and pass.

    Even excluding his pull up 3's and wet midrange that I highly doubt most in the NBA can guard 1v1, Smith can also be potentially devastating in the following ways this season:
    - Open transition pull up 3
    - Open perimeter outlet for a penetrating Green/KPJ
    - Pick and pop with Green / KPJ / Sengun from both perimeter and midrange

    Could it not pan out that way, sure. I'd say he's going to have a fun season though. Sengun for sure is going to love him.

    I think Jabari needs more aggressiveness and he didn’t use his body well on the court.

    Would the Players revolt if the coach try to force them to do that old West Virginia 5 passes before anyone shoots and burn most of the shot clock?

    Harden, Wall, Wood now Christopher these posters will blame anybody but the cheapskate who owns the team. After this season all everybody on this board is gonna be talking about is tank for wemby, then in 2024 its gonna be tank for someone else.Its much easier to think like this when the reality is you have an owner who wants to cut corners and save as much money as he can, instead of building a winner

    Don’t forget JC’s turnovers - 3 of them travels. First point guard I have seen in a while with more extra steps than assists.

    Have a feeling we’re gonna be disappointed all summer league.

    Holding out hope that Jabari meshes well with Jalen, KPJ, and Sengun however.

    Can’t get worse than tonight though right?

    Right?

    Stone should have never tipped his pitches when he was going to draft Paolo.

    Disappointed Nix and Gup didn't look to get Bari more involved. I don't mind another season of losing bad, but some structure would sure be nice. Give us something to believe in. Gup went full ball hog, but Tari wasn't shy either. Nine threes Eason, really?

    I actually got that feeling watching Josh play tonight.
    Dude gets tunnelvision so bad sometimes he has no business being a lead guard.
    There was one play where Bari screened for Josh out above the 3 point line and BOTH defenders went with Josh.
    Bari was open to the left for a WIDE OPEN 3 pointer!
    What does Josh do?
    He passes to the man on the RIGHT!!!
    Then goes and gets the ball back after the double team left.

    I was screaming "pass Jabari the #$%^&*@ ball!!!
    You know with Jabari struggling early a wide open 3 where he doesn't have to rush it can really get you in rhythm and get your confidence flowing.
    That's why a good lead guard that tries to set the table 1st and let others "eat" before he does is so invaluable.
    I really think if Jabari had gotten that wide open 3 early and hit it he might have had a much better game overall.


    Jabari needs the help of his teammates to get him open shots, especially until his handle improves.
