Confirmed that Kira will get minutes at PG tonight.

I feel like one of two things will happen.

He'll either be brilliant, or absolutely awful. For some reason I just don't feel there's much chance of him being ''alright''

Considering how rookie guards coming out of NOLA look like besides Chris Paul. It's safe to say.... 90% chance of AWFUL. Our franchise ability to develop guards is pretty rough.

lets just hope he doesn't get Pat Bev on him that will be brutal

I'll go on record and eat crow, if necessary.

I think Kira is built for the NBA; he's going to shine.

In fairness we do have a fairly radically different set of coaches and assistants now from, say, 5 years ago.

NAW running with Thornwell at guard tonight.

Mark Jackson calling the game.lol

Muted already.

NAW with a quick 4 points

NAW is a future starting guard on this team, he has it all, size wingspan he can drive shoot defend. Reminds me so much of Jrue

If Kira doesn't get 40 points tonight i think he will be a bust.... just kidding, 39 points is fine by me.

NAW bangs a 3 and idk if it even touched the net lol, he’s feeling it with the starters, super confident

NAW is killllllling it, looks so natural and smooth too, killing the rebounds also.

NAW should clearly be our starting PG.. Hoping this becomes apparent to SVG.

NAW getting his moment to shine.

Naw and Kira should be starting

i bet jj goes off against clippers lol

hayes is so cringe

Kira looked nice, beautiful mid range and a nice drive and dump pass to Hayes when the D collapsed on him. Kira and NAW are the future at PG and SG

Had a nice rebound on one end where he just out jumped everyone and went and got it over everybody and he was fouled on the shot he just missed.

Ball is sooo gone. We should keep Hart and maybe Bledsoe for depth.

Three total turnovers; none by the new guys (Hart, Redick, Ingram)

I'm unsure about Kira as a starter. Haven't seen enough of him on court in the actual NBA. I'd give him minutes to actually earn that spot. But I believe NAW has proven he can handle a starting spot.

Notice how we are playing with one of the best teams in the league with lobbing up dumb ****** 3s constantly? No Lonzo helps with that
