[KqWIN]

Yes… lots of guys get run in the preseason prior to have their deals picked up or getting released… the guys have participated in the program for the last year and would have relationships with Hardy (Luka dating back to SA).

You don’t think Hardy is human and thinking of giving these guys an opportunity to prove themselves?

I understand we want to see the new shiny toys… I get it… but if you have 4 years to evaluate one guy and 2 weeks to evaluate the others it’s absolutely reasonable to think if it’s close that it goes to the vets in this case.

The question is if a team has ever benched their first round picks (without giving them a chance) so they can play someone else to determine if they want to cut him. Lot's of guys get cut and have minutes before they are cut. How many guys get minutes precisely because they may get cut and get those minutes over first round picks? No sure it's a thing and I can't say that is more reasonable than Hardy simply playing the players he thinks are better right now as he's said he would.

THT with a missed bunny and turnover right after.

Offense looking smooth with THT and Clarkson. Hardy found his lineup

Not watching but looks like Collins is playing well.

 

[KqWIN]

Clarkson's ability to be more versatile off the ball really opens up the offense.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Anfernee Simons is a sweet shooter.

THT with a missed bunny and turnover right after.

One of the 'T's is for turnover.

Blazers starting lineup is very talented. Definitely not a bad team if Ayton doesn't tank them by being selfish.

 

[Agent#00]

Blazers is an iso happy team

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Lauri is really hard to stop if he has space.

Sexton looking better at his spot of 2nd guy off bench
