I like that they let guys play but some of these non-calls are a little ridiculous. I've had that take on other games too.

He has been fairly impressive.

Isaiah’s shooting looks absolutely horrible. Watching him tonight you’d never know his signature skill coming out of college was three-point shooting. He’s defended well and shown a dribble penetration ability I didn’t know he had. But wow his shooting is awful.

I think he's jittery and just not game-ready.

I agree. He’s obviously super-hyped. I think he’s rushing everything.

That one recent defensive possession by Rocco was disappointing. He just stood there 7 or 8 feet from the rim and didn't do anything. I think he still needs to work on his conditioning. He is better than last year although that bar was pretty low.

I'm not gonna roast him tonight when he's fresh off signing.


But I've never been a believer of his jumper translating.

Watching Finch get interviewed. I came over to see where Pullin is doing his autograph signing.

Rocco and Freeman with duds again. Evans was a jittery wreck.

The "try-hard" strength of Freeman is great, but he had a bunch of miscues and TOs again. That's 9 TOs in only 42 minutes of play over two games - and he's not even a guard or ball handler! Try-hard needs to be paired with mistake-free for a player on the fringe of an NBA team.

Rocco made his presence felt a bit more in the 2nd half after a miserable first half, but at some point he needs to start making some shots. He's by far the tallest player in every one of these games, but is just weak around the rim and isn't making his 3's.

Pullin once again by far the best player on the floor. He literally took over the game in the 3rd quarter and then faded a bit in the 4th, but got ZERO help from his team mates.

Not much more to say about Evans. Just looked completely out of sorts with a lot of rushed, off-balance 3's that were way off the mark. He really is long and you can see how that may help him in areas outside of shooting. But he was a -27 in 26 minutes. If you are looking for one person to blame for this loss, he might be it!
