    But Green also has to put on weight, if tonight told us anything it's that Green better put on weight or most average NBA defenders will close down the lane for him and make him a chucker.

    Watching these preseason games I don't think it's clear that any of these guys are better than the other. Honestly, Scottie Barnes looks the best. .

    Barnes easily looks like an NBA starter on a playoff team (or even a 6th man) right now and right this minute and could only get better. Nice build, nice skills, great bball IQ. Would not be surprised if he's the best rookie of this class.

    I mean lack of weight doesn't stop Trae Young and Curry from being effective on the floor right? Plus the weight Green has to gain isn't what Mobley has to gain. Mobley has to gain 30-40 pounds if he wants to be an effective big man in the post. Like nobody will say Theis is a hulking beast down low but he is 245 pounds, Mobley is 215 pounds. I dunno how much weight Green has to gain but it can't be more than 20 pounds IMO.

    You are right Barnes is amazing I had him no 2 after Green. He reminded me so much of Giannis, also has similar drive and ambition to succeed.

    Nets have so many options it makes Harden a boring player. When Harden was the only offense it was fun to watch him work.

    Having Lamarcus Alridge and Blake Griffin feels like theft

    i actually like him passing more and getting rebounds... his effiency will still be elite. I think he has a shot to post a close to 30 PER this year

    Thanasis is not an NBA player. Giannis really hooked his bro up. This man got a 2 year deal lmao

    All these late round rookies keep reminding me just how deep the last draft really was.

    nba scorekeepers are protecting westbrooks stats.. i clearly saw him throw the ball away 8 times in the first half, and now somehow he only has 6 lol
