What yall think?
Its a preseason game but still...
Kuzma should be starting if he keeps playing like this.
Randles IQ is low. Took about 15 shots for 15 points. Stopped the flow of the ball, tried to do too much, tried to bullyball with Towns (who is much bigger), tried to play the gotdamn pg again.
Larry had moments but didn't play that well either
Ingram struggled but he's going to bother a lot of SF's not named KD on defense. He might need to become that Defense first instead of forcing him to be a go-to scorer.
Lonzo struggled but mainly because he settled on 3's. Some rattled out, some were definitley lined up and some were awful when he was rushed. Shots he took looked easy, like the shouldve just went in. He needs to be aggressive on offense, a lot of layups/dunks he passed up for the pass. If he was more aggressive that wouldve opened shyt WAY up for them.
I think the starters have zero chemistry with Zo this first game. They also played like they have zero IQ. KCP had some good hustle plays but was kinda bad offensively. A lot of plays were fukked up because players overdribbled, bobbled passes, couldn't hit shots, etc.
Teague is a shifty, quick, smart, slick PG. Zo did well when he focused more on Jeff but Teague was kinda going at him. Thats gonna happen damn near every game but like Lavar said... Thats how he gonna get better. He wasn't bad on defense though. Plays the passing lane well. I felt teague fouled him on the steal too.
IF he can hit his shots, attack the basket more, and get some players around who arent going to just play bullyball and let the ball stick then dude is going to easily average almost a triple double just based off length, insticts, and IQ.
I actually think Zo had more chemistry with Brewer and Kuzma (as usual) and a lot of the bench guys. Just basically anybody with IQ, finesse, and ready to run/move the ball plays well with Zo.
But anyway, Minnesota is a better team but it wasn't a bad first game. Zo started slow in summerleague too. I expect them to get better chemistry and things become smoother. Once Lopez and Bogut get in the rotation I expect them to look a lot better and for Zo to look great. Both Lopez and Bogut have a high IQ.
my man is a fukking STAR
