And that player in 2012 might have been Anthony Davis.
Great game tonight and overall pre-season.
My main problem tonight was with Gentry: need less Williams and Moore, and more NAW and Jaxson. Nice to see Reddick get himself into a rhythm finally. I am also beginning to think Ok should start at 5 with Favors and Melli backing up the 5 and 4 depending on matchups on D and spacing on O.
I am assuming Gentry was saving Jrue and Favor's legs for the regular season.
Tonight was a taste for you guys of what Hart can do. Sometimes he is just all over the place, doing everything. Love that guy.
Whats kinda funny is in pre-game interviews, both Jrue and NAW said they had no idea Zion was injured. Thats including the Spurs game and practice all week. Jrue said he found out on his Apple watch.
Interesting. lol
NAW is a 2 way player that does great on both ends. He’s got such an amazing 3 point shot and good handles. He’s creative and can do just about anything you need from a guard. His passing ability is excellent. He’s also great off the ball. How good is this kid going to be? Man... I bet he becomes an all star. And it’s so great he’s got Jrue and JJ to mentor him.

I think when they are doing those redrafted 5 years from now we will have 3 of the top 7 picks no doubt. Very possibly a top 5. We drafted what I believe is 2 stars and 1 super star caliber player with those 3 picks. IMO DiDi will end up being a very solid 2 way NBA player. I like what I saw from him a lot and love the idea of stashing him. If there was a redraft right now I’m confident he would be a late 1st. Once he’s developed as well I could see him at a top 20 redraft. This will go down as the best 1st round and maybe haul of picks in NBA history.
I just hope young Jax realized time is on his side. Add weight and skills. Hit the league later like Embiid, Simmons, and even Garnett.
