Ant is so coldblooded. Easily see him getting 25ppg this year if not more. I can't believe the dumb play by play crew we have said Grant's going to be the main guy on offense.

He was really disrespected all year by fans and opposing fans. Can't wait to see him have a great year.

I really love the quicker tempo we are going with like Utah and Sac did with younger guys. With Dame gone it'll be a lot easier as he liked walking up the ball and it'll fit he play styles of Scoot/Shedon/Ant

Really great PnR play from Scoot and Sharpe. My god they had no one tonight that can finish out of the PnR outside of the occasional Grant who prefers Isos. We really need more guys than Ayton. One of the reasons I hope we get Sarr next year. Ant lookinglike one of the best scorers in the league tonight.

Umm could we just give Camara like 28 MPG or more? He has been one of the biggest surprises in the pre-season.

Interesting seeing us have Shaedon initiating the offense he is making nice reads and plays. Excited to see a full season of that out of him, especially when he is playing with guys not named Jabari and Camara to work with.

I take it back Camara looking really good here.

It'd be pretty hilarious albeit unrealistic for him to be the best returning piece of the Lillard trade

Definitely looks like he deserves some playing time. I would probably go 12-15 mpg to start the season and reward him with more as the season advances if he continues to develop.

Scoot Henderson already looking like an all-star out there.

Some nice action out of Scoot tonight penetrating and setting up others and finishing at the rim. Too much settling for jumpers off the dribble which it seems like will be a problem for the coaching staff to correct. He is much better with his feet set off 3s shooting them off the dribble just isn't his game the sooner he releases the better.

Good showing considering they started Moses Brown and played a Reath 18 minutes.
Btw why was Ayton out? Did they announce a reason?

Typical stuff you might see in pre-season, teams might rest a guy we didn't see Beal in the Suns game, and the Bucks in the first two pre-season games played Dame and Giannis 0 minutes.

Sad I couldn’t watch. Thanks for the bits and pieces, guys…
