Have no friggin clue who is who other than Hurt and Maxey. Stupid announcers giving no information.

Switched over to something else.

Rosters this year are poorly balanced. Other than Wiseman, who admittedly doesn't have much of a motor, 4 or the 5 best players are in the East and it really shows. Also Nico Mannion is not much of a PG and is getting destroyed by Anthony. The west team looks completely disorganized as such.

Oh my.....Khalil Whitney can’t even hang on to the ball much less handle it. Long way to go for him. Ugh
One of the most negative posters on this board. No surprise youre already down on Whitney

Players been wearing them for at least two decades, the issue was they weren’t allowed to wear them in real games until recently


Yes Jay Z started wearing one a year or so ago in the fashion of Jimi Hendrix...so now here we are.

I wanted to watch this because I need an appetizer before the games start back up tomorrow night, but I’ve had about all I can take.

I just started watching a couple of minutes before the half, so I would guess in part, probably mostly nerves and adrenaline.

Nico is actually a very good pg, Cole is just a super elite pg and ranked top 3 for a reason. Elite players tend to make very good players look worse than they are, more so when the elite player is also elite on defense

Yet he will be a lotto pick . Again pay zero attention to anything good or bad you see in these games with the exception of things like is a kid tall is he fast ect. Whitney will drafted higher then every one in this game minus 3-5 players .

The teams are poorly balanced, No way should they have been a backcourt of Anthony and Edwards on the same team for a game like this.

They are sucking Duke so hard right now. Talking about how every player on that team improved their stock by playing on a superteam, saying that Zion wouldn’t have been a #1 pick anywhere else. Like a 2-minute monologue about how the Duke superteam concept is the best choice for these recruits. Just a disgusting, bald-faced recruiting pitch.
I laughed out loud when I heard that because it’s another thing we did first that K gets credit for.

Ppat, Bledsoe, Orton all benefited from the 2010 super team

TJones, Teague, Lamb, Miller all had their stock rise from 2012.

KAT jumped Okafor for number one, WCS went from project to lotto, Lyles and Booker lotto picks after starting the season as bench players (Poy originally started over Lyles)

I don’t wanna hear this **** that Duke is reinventing the wheel.

Would be the worst scout ever if you based a players game on one possession.
Not
*facepalm*
I hope like hell that Whitney makes me facepalm every time he touches the ball. I want him to be GREAT! I assure you that I want nothing more than to see our guys ball out but Whitney has yet to show much of anything other than bad hands and a very rough handle.

I like Scottie Lewis.
Constant energy, best defender in class, killer instinct, talker, going to be leader on day 1 for us, which is exactly what we've lacked the past few years.

Starting 5 will be

1- Nembhard
2- Locke
3- Lewis
4- Johnson
5- Bassett

Mann spelling the guards, Stokes, Gak, Omar Payne spelling the bigs, plus whoever we get as transfers now that Stone, Okauru, and Ballard are transferring out.

True, he doesn't suck but there is an unhealthy gap at PG. I think Maxey looks better running the point and he's not a PG.

Additionally my opinion of Hurt is going through the roof. He's much better than I thought. I am in the midst of moving him ahead of McDaniel on my wish list.

Not watching. No idea what's going on. Just want to tell people to not expect Khalil and Maxey to be world beaters. They are still freshman in a new system playing at the next level. So hopefully when (not if) they need some time to adjust, we don't go off the rails.

.. But we will. I'm sure.

I just finished watching the first half and other than a few kids, I have no idea who is scoring or doing what, since the announcers never stop talking.

Iirc Knight sucked in the all star game and Selby played well. Well all see how that turned out. These games mean nothing

I’ve watched the Samuelson kid 7 times now and he has been very impressive with his moves and basketball IQ every single time. Going to surprise a lot of people who don’t know who he is next season, plays a lot like Tobias Harris. Likely a two or three year kid but wouldn’t surprise me if he plays his way into the first round right outside the lotto or in the lotto

So here is how it goes with fans.....fans player plays bad “past player played bad so it means nothing”. Player going to another team plays bad “he’s overrated, fat,”. Player going to fans team “see he’s underrated, what he’s doing will translate”. Player going to another team plays well “ he’s a ball hog, selfish, this game doesn’t mean much”
