    In case you didn't watch Smith last year, he can't really create shots for himself of the dribble. If someone isn't creating a look for him he's going to struggle. People like to point out he shot 42% from 3, do you know what he shot from the field overrall? 40%. He's a tall 3 and d type of player. Eason can get the ball off the rim and push, that's not Smith game

    Yeah if this franchise thinks or wants to treat him like he’s a lottery pick, pray for us all.

    I only watch to see the top rookies play, I don’t give a damn about any of the scrubs or no-names, so seeing our top rookie get no touches or shots just hurts me to my core…watching JC play was infuriating

    The problem with Paolo and Sengun would not have been offense, it would have been defense.

    Bari blew past Paolo twice out there. Bari. The guy whose weakeness is supposed to be his first step and drive game (although I think he's better than advertised) I don't think SL is going to answer any of the questions we have about any of these players though.

    Well that was incredibly disappointing.

    I’ll say they didn’t get Jabari many good looks, but his handle looked bad and shot creation wasn’t really there either.

    He missed badly on a couple of turn arounds and was sloppy in transition and crossing over with the ball.

    seriously... the best shooter (Smith) is passing the ball, & playing team ball while the rest were chucking all kinds of crap. Once the ball touches Josh hand the rest of the guys can run back & play defense because this f*cker doesn't pass.

    if jabari hit 1 more 3, I'd take his game over Paolo's. 13-7-3-1 on 5/10 and 2/4 would've been a good game.

    The offense looked like **** and everyone was just grabbing the ball and flinging it at the rim. I HATE watching that kind of basketball. Run a ####ing play for Christs sake!
