I don’t think I’ll ever have a tougher decision than Boozer vs AJ for my number 1 spot last year All time great feel prospect in Boozer vs an all time great scoring prospect in AJ Ended up goin with AJ at 1 but man those guys were both so good and I’m just glad we got 1 of them
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.

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!

Honestly this applies to Wagler as well

Keaton’s handle has always been super underrated for a guy his size and his funky pacing and foul drawing has instantly translated to the league He has to make shots inside the arc at some point and I think that will come as he gets stronger, but he’s getting to his spots.
Evaluating Keaton Wagler last night, it was all about his play inside the arc. 1-7 on 2P, but got to the line 12 TIMES! More importantly, he's finding ways to get downhill and he's playing aggressively. Young guys struggle with physicality, but Wagler is still playing TOUGH.

Really confused by our usage of AD this year. He’s always been better as a 5 yet we’re committed to playing him as a 4 on both ends. The isos are frustrating for sure but why are we switching him so much on the perimeter on defense? Keep him by the rim on both ends.

Zipper action into the guard to guard screen is a nice set. Trae ghosts out of the screen to create the angle/confusion and you can just see how effortlessly AJ can touch the paint. This is the type of dynamism our offense needed in the half court.
AJ Dybantsa gets to the line 16 seconds into his NBA career (and sinks both FTs)

I’m actually open to the idea of 40-minute games now There are definitely some things I don’t like about it (makes the bench less valuable, records and per game averages will be messed up), but given that owners will never agree to shorten the season it might be the best option
Gonna talk about injury stuff on the show, but I think it's more simple than the convoluted overuse stuff people bring up. Basically, we're asking NBA players to weigh more, be bigger, stronger and faster than ever, and then we're asking them to play at breakneck pace. (1/2)

His athletic and physical development has been crazy
What more can be said about the Kyshawn evolution, this was supposed to be a cool shooter who became an elite defender and now he's an auto paint touch throwing down lobs with his head at the rim What a fucking ball player

Would like to see them incorporate some more guard to guard screens in the future with Trae/Tre/Kyshawn. Thought they got good looks tonight when they got into those sets.
