Damn check out Russ, trapping, picking, diving to the rim - he changed his game! Lol j/k - in the 3 min i saw this appears to be the exact same LAL team as last year.
I just saw his highlights I feel bad for him now. It looks like Orlando is running him at 3? He's 7'0 with guard skills he should be a 4 at most. Can Paolo shoot well enough to be a 3? uh oh.
defense was looking like Harden in the bad defender video…he had a nice drive and dunk in the 2nd quarter, but that was about it
Jabari with the blessings on draft night not getting drafted by a poverty franchise I would send thoughts and prayers for Paolo, but I think I’m good
I think Orlando has some talent I just think they are suspect at developing their talent. I know it's only one preseason game, but man.. How would have Banchero fit with Sengun, Jalen and KPJ? It probably would have been an absolute sh*t show. Bari just wanting to shoot 3s, D up, and stay out of the way is the absolute perfect fit for the players we have now. Rockets luck has been amazing the last few years *knocks on wood*
As a rockets fan I hate these ninja's, but what a great bball moment. The Rockets would have had more than 2 chips if it wasnt for these chumps. Probably would have ended Jordan's whole history. We would all be wearing Sketchers instead of J's
Its still insane to me they took Paolo over Jabari.... Paolo was always the player you settle for if you couldn't land Jabari and these dudes straight took him in the 1st round because he was what they "needed"... Pshh they need everything, I ain't mad thou... They just handed Rockets a potential future star... Gotta love it...
Remember last year when the Rockets would park Green in the corner and have C.Wood/Theis doing stuff instead? Picture that but with Paolo instead of Green.
Jabari isnt gonna do **** in that team either nobody will pass him the ball he will just stand st the corner waiting around the entire play. Paolo is a good player in his own right Orlando needs that 1 dude who can run their offense and he may be it. OTH we already have Green and Sengun as our offensive engines we need a complementary player like Jabari over Paolo.
