I just wonder what's going to happen once Buzelis actually does something worthy of gloating about. It'll probably shut down Jazzfanz.
I think Buzelis has done stuff worth gloating about. His "wow" plays have been nice. If I was a fan of his I would be encouraged, but I wouldnt that encouraged.

Jaylen Wells is someone who I barely knew anything about and has now followed up a great summer league with a great pre-season.
I wonder how long it takes Dadiet to get in the rotation. The Knicks are extremely top heavy with their wings. After OG/Mikal/Hart, can you actually name a wing on their team? One injury and they are out a rotation spot on the wing. Seems like Dadiet may be next up.
He had a lot of hype from draft twitter as a sleeper pick. Makes sense he went to Memphis, a team that often drafts "Draft Twitter" darlings.

They look like they won the draft so far.
Prior to pre-season, I thought the top 5 rookies would be: Sheppard, Castle, Ware, Williams and Knecht.
It's looking like Risacher and Edey are going to make some noise. Salaun too.

Is he even going to be part of the rotation?
It will be interesting to see which rookies are part of the rotation on opening night, and which one remain or get in to the rotation in a month or two.

All the Edey love is just hilarious.
Guy puts up some stats in the preseason (which is almost as bad as summer league) on inflated usage and people suddenly talk like Memphis is now going to have to "integrate him into their offense" or something. Yeah... I'm sure the Grizzlies will run tons of slow-as-molasses post-ups for Edey so he can grind things to a halt and take those line drive jump hooks from mid-paint. Not to mention destroying their spacing.
The rules haven't changed. A plodding traditional center who can't shoot or guard pick-and-rolls is still a plodding traditional center who can't shoot or guard pick-and-rolls, and those guys are simply not valuable these days. I'll be shocked if Edey plays more than 10mpg in the regular season.
