Rocco has pleasantly surprised me....as has your guy Bones.

Shannon missing his fair share of shots, but he puts so much pressure on the rim that it leads to easy looks for others.

Clark with a block and then a steal on the next possession down. The dude just wrecks offenses.

I’ve been super impressed with Bones. Obviously Dilly has been in foul trouble and he has ok. Bones could fight for those minutes

Yeah, Bones is basically a taller version of Dillingham with a few more years of NBA experience and shot making. That's what I'm seeing at least. I'm impressed. And he obviously got the memo on defense, as he's worked hard on that side (as has Dilly).

We have a bunch of the Exhibit 10 guys in now. I was hoping to be impressed with Juzang, but it hasn’t happened.

He has a really hard time creating anything off the bounce.

Of course, he responds with “I don’t need no stink in’ bounce when I can just rise up from 3 and stick it!”

My Freeman finally got in. Finch might need to put in Newton for Rob….

Pickett going Obi Toppin on us!

Dilly out here with the Exhibit 10 guys and Beringer.

Good way to start the pre-season. Our starters beat their starters and our second unit beat their second unit.

- All four of the "regulars" - Rudy, DDV, Jaden, and Naz - looked good in their one quarter of action.

- Dillingham was a mixed bag. Still struggles to get separation and finish, which leads to some really difficult shots. OTOH, he made some nice passes and ended up with 9 assists vs. 3 TOs.

- Bones played really well. He could relegate Dillingham to the 3rd string PG if this keeps up.

- Beringer struggled a bit defensively overall, but was a real presence at the rim offensively and just always makes good decisions.

- Rocco was the other pleasant surprise along with Bones. Just a solid floor game on both ends.

- Shannon was relentless going to the hoop. And besides drawing a ton of fouls, he's showing that he can find people off his drives and not just put his head down hellbent on his own offense.

- Clark was stellar defensively. Not surprising.
