Preseason GT: Nets @ Heat 10/18 7:30 NBA TV 

Post#1 » by Stone » Wed Oct 18, 2023 9:00 pm

Jacque needs to get the team prepared. The turn overs killed us last game. This is the last preseason game and we are only a week away from game one.

Not playing due to injury. Cam Johnson, Dennis Smith Jr, Dariq Whitehead.

Want to see Ben keep building his way back.

Dayron hitting 3's and 6-6 from the FT line. he looks like he's taking the leap everyone keeps trying to will themselves to believing cam thomas is gonna take.

Real nice game from lonnie walker too. Shot it well.

Wish there was a better 5th starter/shot creator in the backcourt who plays well off simmons.

Why is Harry Giles not getting a go?

I honestly would prefer to see Royce in that 5th starter role. I think he's the jack of all trades that best would fit what we need both offensively & defensively.

i think he's probably the best fit they have, he's just limited. dinwiddie as 6th man is probably his best role unless he can hit 40% catch and shoot.

a second unit with dinwiddie, walker, dfs is actually kind of interesting though. especially if sharpe is really turning some sort of a corner.

Some good signs but still a lot of concerns.

First off....Jacque Vaughn. We need his leadership to get this team on the same page. It starts in practice and in game adjustments. The 28 TO's against the 76ers was obviously not good, JV needs to have the team prepared.

Ben is heading in the right direction. We are seeing flashes of his old self. But we need consistency.

Day’Ron looks like a different player. He is doing a lot of little things and intangibles on both ends better than I remember. 2 steals, 3 blocks and 19 points and he attempting 3's. So far Day'Ron is our brightest light.

Claxton, after making his first two FT's he bricked his next four in a row.

Lonnie Walker shot well.

Dayron looks good at times and he has potential, but he has butter hands. Alot of times they pass him the ball and it slips thru his hands for some reason, I think he's just a little shaky and hyper at times. But he can rebound and shoot so he has some good things to work with and I hope he can be able to contribute because we need a backup big to step up.
