Totally agree. Plus his defense looks truly special.

Suggs with 2 stupid TOs in the second quarter

My oh my… Franz and Paulo have a stew brewing!

Is Isaac on some sort of playing time restriction?

[Mauro Pedrosa 1,032]

Let’s close this one out.

We could have swept this lot

He's had a couple of lapses but yea he's phenomenal, so long, great instincts, can guard smaller guys, disruptive. When the game slows down as he gets more experienced he's going to be a menace.

16 points is nothing against LeBron with NBA refs. Need the same energy second half.

Did anyone else see the Amazing Sladek? Lol. That was crazy.

True. If Suggs and Cole had his poised and IQ, they would both be borderline All Stars.

The kid just has a natural feel for the game. I loved the pick when it was made, and love it even more now.

Now, we just need Jett to take Ingles spot in the rotation and will be set.

AB with another corner 3!

I just don’t think his skillset fits our starting 5. Paolo and Franz should be primary ballhandlers and distributors and we need a guy at the “1” who can stay on the floor and isn’t afraid to shoot a jump shot.

Franz and Paolo both have shaky handle at this point, especially Franz. I mean look at all the turnovers we have when they are the primary ball handlers. Also, Franz seems to force thing and play too much hero ball for me to play that role. He hardly looks for his teammates, unless it's his brother.

Remember when we drafted AB and I made a very specific point how I thought he was being miscast as an on ball creator and was actually an off ball player? And then got dragged because "he can't shoot how can he be good".

I present this game as exhibit A. 

And to be clear even if he missed both those 3s he gives you a large secondary ball handler, connective passing and smart cutting plus terrific defense and hustle.

EDIT: this post is kind of cringe tbh, nobody likes a victory lap after one game lol.
