Yes it has.

And Rob is making a mockery of the Dilly/Hyland controversy I tried to tee up.
Yeah, he's going to move up on my "big board" of rotation guys 8-15 after tonight.

Dillingham dialed in tonight. This will be good for his confidence.

Just got to hoop tonight. The best he has looked probably in his career including SL

Not sure we want to hang our hat on this performance considering the competition, but nevertheless, it's good to see him catch a rythym and make all the right plays. He's put on a show through three quarters.

Juzang is going to be a very interesting conversation once the preseason ends

My updated big board of the rostered non-"eight starters" group based on four pre-season games. Green equals trending up and red equals trending down.

#9 - Jaylen Clark
#10 - Rob Dillingham
#11 - Johnny Juzang
#12 - Joan Beringer
#13 - Bones Hyland
#14 - Rocco Zikarsky

Leonard Miller and Joe Ingles haven't played enough preseason games to qualify!

I just got a text from Leonard Miller.

"Wtf does Q have against me? He says I haven't played enough to qualify, but the guy he has ranked #1 has only played 3 more minutes than me this preseason!"

I'm not going to answer him, but it sounds like he was pretty productive again last night with 15/11 on only 8 shots.

I just finished listening to the locked on Wolves post-game pod, and Beecken was quite high on Joan last night. He doesn't see him in the top 10, but does think he'll see some court time this season. He (and I) want to see him be more productive on the defensive glass. He had 10 rebounds last night, but only 5 defensive. Juzang continues to shoot very well.

Bones and Rob have been excellent in assist to turnover ratio the past two games...16/3 last night, and 8/1 the previous game. They both have their flaws, but that stat is very encouraging.

Guys, I haven't caught much of the preseason. But I see Q has Joan out of the rotation in his projections. Has he just been too raw? Is he still flashing the promise we saw in summer league? What are his apparent weaknesses?
