He's a better defender than Keyonte, who you've ranked #3.

Agreed. Even with his shooting off this game, he was consistently engaged. The shot needs some serious work, but he has some real tools on both ends (first step, length and defensive instincts).

He certainly showed more effort than Keyonte or Brice usually do. Overall, a really solid first game.

If we're really generous and say Collier's true talent is a 30% NBA 3-point shooter, there's a less than 1 in 600 chance he makes 80 or more 3s on 200 attempts in a season. About a 1 in 14 chance he hits 70 or more (35%).

Also, on Flip: He's just not a 5--he has the same standing reach (8'11'') as Ace and Hendricks.

In terms of expected (average) career peak: 1. Ace 2. Kessler 3. Hendricks 4. Filipowski 5. Keyonte 6. WCJ 7. Brice 8. Collier 9. Cody 4-8 tough to rank; also not sure how to rank 1-2. Bullish on Hendricks (high floor, mid ceiling); still bearish (but hopeful) on Cody.

Looked like a travel to me. Well after receiving the ball, took a hop before dribbling.

After sleep walking through the first half of game 1, Cody's looked pretty good overall. Also nice to see WCJ stay composed after an absolutely brutal first half.

0 second round picks - they gave one in the Sexton trade. Collins, Sexton and Clarkson for Nurkic, Anderson and Love.

Had the same thought.

He's definitely making quick reads and looking to move the ball, which is nice to see. Don't love Cody not getting the ball up to him to push or Filipowski looking him off when he's bottled up on the perimeter.

Cody Williams may want to at least pretend he's trying to stay in front of his man.

Yeah, it's only 9 games, but it was an incredible run.

WCJ's stats across his 9 postseason games last year were incredible: 33.4 MPG 21.8 PTS 3.4 REB 3.8 AST 0.4 BLK 1.1 STL 2.9 TO .687 TS (insane, especially given how much he creates for himself) .475 FG (6.2-13.1) .458 3P (3.7-8.0) .500 2P (2.6-5.1) .911 FT (5.7-6.2: more FTA than 2PA)

Minor note: Keyonte is 8 months younger than Clayton.
