Looking at the boxscore, which can be misleading, I'm:

1. Impressed with Bjelica. Doing a little bit of everything. Nice to see. Should be a good versatile bench guy.
2. Glad to see Dieng and Bazz pull down 4 O-boards, and Towns with 3. As long as we're not getting beat back down on defense, those can be a huge difference maker. Miami only had 6 total to our 14. That's 8 extra possessions right there, which is basically the difference in this ballgame.
3. Glad to see Rubio still doing a bit of everything.
4. Ambivalent about Wiggins. LOVE the FTs and scoring. But that doesn't really excuse not getting more boards. If he's not going to get us boards, I want to see some amazing man defense from him. He's got the tools and really needs to show it. That's what I'll be looking for as soon as they put these games on TV.
5. Happy to see Dunn be a little productive with assists, despite some drawbacks like FG% and TOs. Boxscore suggests real aggressiveness.
6. Generally happy with the balance of the offense, though I'd like to see Dieng shoot a little more and Bazz maybe defer a bit more (though I know his style of play is going to get him lots of shots, and probably 3 came off O-rebounds).
7. Happy to see 5 guys in double digit scoring, including 3 off the bench (though Thibs was obviously giving the bench more minutes than he probably will in general throughout the year).

Just one exhibition game guys. Slow the role on the judgements.

I'd rather be the executioner. I hate cats.

He could be a solid to good backup PG. He is still young yet. I hope he can handle getting relatively few minutes this year and keep his eye on a time in the future when he could be the backup PG for this team. That'll be his role wherever he ends up, so it might as well be at home with the team that drafted him. I think he has a future.


I hope we try out three combos to see which second unit works together best: Aldrich, Belly and Dunn would be in all lineups with two of Tyus, Rush and Bazz.

I know this board focuses on Wiggins lack of rebounds, but personally I want to see more steals, blocks, threes and assists from Wiggs. KAT, Dieng and Ricky are all good rebounders, so Wiggs lack of rebounds doesn't bother me too much (sure I'd like to see more, but if he's a lockdown/disruptive defender and a better passer or perimeter shooter, I'm not concerned about his rebounding).

Agreed with some others on not being concerned with Wig's lack of rebounds. As long as he's preventing their best wing from scoring a lot, and our team rebounding is good, I don't care about his stats.
