There was some of that, but you can also tell he just gets it more so far this preseason. Much better communication, he's got his head up. Real impressed with his D so far this game.
Maybe Pierce can coach the D up, huh?
Man Trae has got so many tools on offense. What a talent. That dribble drive was insane.
Also props to him for throwing that shot up and not worrying about percentages.
Anybody who thought Hunter didn't have some more to offer than pure 3+D didn't watch him. One of the more baffling scouting groupthinks I've seen. Like, we saw him hang 20 in the championship right? I dunno what these folks are thinking sometimes.
I'd inquire about Nurkic. With his injury, Whiteside, Portland's playoff hopes and tax problems, we might could get him fairly cheap. He's young, on a good contract, can defend, pass, set good screens. Might could stretch to 3 too.
Hate to say I told you so with Jones, but man ...
Trae looks sloppy but he'll be fine. Hunter is a beast. Reddish shows some flashes. Not too upset with what we've got going.
It's not what I want or even expect, but I think it's a reasonable assessment. We have a lot to prove.
Luckily, I really believe in what we have here. We need a 4/5 that can fit w/ Collins long term, then we're golden
