I’ve seen this comp a few times, and to me he’s even better, a stronger Larry Bird
Boozer is basically just power forward Haliburton. Hali had questions early on about his isolation scoring and in-between game. Those will be the questions for Boozer (I think he’ll figure it out but they are fair questions). But elite feel and touch goes a long way.

Obviously it’s early, but this guy has been the best player in every basketball game he has ever played in his life (including our camps when he was 10 or so at Miami). This may have been more predictable than we thought.
CAM BOOZER TRIPLE-DOUBLE. GRIZZLIES STAY UNDEFEATED. Boozer (18p, 12r, 12a) becomes the second-youngest NBA player to ever record a triple-double, propelling the @memgrizz to their first 5-0 start since the 2014-15 season!

Boozer always thinking 0.5sec quicker/earlier. One timing ahead of next plays. Consider teammates potential moving route as passer. Dream player to me, as team play based impact.

I promise at some point I’ll tweet other stuff than Cam Boozer box scores, but like, this is special stuff we’re witnessing

And now they’re both on contenders. Happy for them but sad to see my two favorite Colts go
Deforest Buckner and Quenton Nelson deserve so much better than this

I thought Ace Bailey was good tonight. His overall process was good, and he’s much more physically imposing than he was earlier in his career

Cedric Coward has made two passes to bigs for easy buckets where he manipulated help defenders into rotating away from where he wanted to pass. Really impressive stuff from Ced, who’s looked great the last couple games

In light of Cayden Daughtry's season opener I wanted to put into perspective just how ridiculous his summer was, and how he compares to a few recent 1-and-done guards. Although its a long ways until the '28 draft, Daughtry is right on pace to be in the league sooner than later

Absolute cinema to watch him when he’s in this mode

Been working on my preseason board the last few weeks, and I currently have Big Pat #4. Really hoping he stays healthy this season
Duke big man Patrick Ngongba was the best player on the floor today against No. 17 Kansas: 28 PTS | 9-12 FG | 1-2 3PT | 10 REB | 4 AST | 2 BLK | 32 MIN

Maybe the most amazing stat if you follow grizzlies: 37 mins in regulation(!?) shows the confidence they have in him

Zach Edey is a cheat code for the Grizzlies. He fundamentally alters both sides of the floor
