Jrich smell blood he want that job

Justise with a nice DWade impression right there...

I still don't trust him in those situations with the handles and shot but hopefully he proves me wrong throughout the season

 

[Sauce Dab]

You need a lil irrational confidence to be a star. Winslow's too "flow of the game" at the moment.

He still looked his best when Wade was mentoring him.

Looks like the post game has been abandoned also.

Gotta take shots man, shoot yourself in to rhythm if necessary. Get to the line to see the ball go in etc.

It's not like he's the best at the FT line either tho

so what happened in the 4th quarter I couldnt catch it

Winslow was clutch as fukk and our prospects showed some balls too.

J-Rich is looking amazing. He was hitting spot up 3s from like 28 feet out on some limitless range-ish.

Olynyk and Whiteside are great together. Olynyk compliments him well and Kelly already knows how to take advantage of the attention Whiteside receives when shots go up. Was great at snagging rebounds.

McGruder did what he always does and was consistent. He's not great at anything except hustle but he's solid st everything. Put the ball on the floor and has to be respected from everywhere.

TJ and JJ are great together. JJ is better off the bench than he is starting. TJ is what he is. He gets buckets and he gets buckets.

Waiters did a good job of trying to get others involved. He was the playmaker today.

Winslow...Winslow is still young but I'm not sure about how untouchable he is. I'm hoping he's just way out of sync with everyone but it kinda seems that he doesn't really have a place with our starters. Like @Primetime21 said, he's obviously more talented than McGruder or Okaro in a vacuum, but you can tell that his offensive troubles are getting to him.

I dunno if the Spurs would give us anything good for Winslow but I'd take Murray. I also kinda wished we had made a run at Jonathan Simmons. I think he'd be a great starting SF for us.

I dunno...Richardson is looking better than Winslow but this just the pre-season. I think we just gotta give Winslow a full season with us before we go gloom and doom.

Edit: Whiteside is looking like an offensive monster. His jumper is becoming automatic and I wouldn't be surprised if he cashed a couple of threes during this season. It's insane how much he adds to his game every year.

 

[Primetime21]

Okaro white should not be playing at all

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Okaro white should not be playing at all

Shouldn't be on the roster at all

 

[Primetime21]

I've had enough of seeing Winslow on the floor with TJ and JJ. 4 possessions and he hasnt touched the ball once, johnson brothers just taking turns passing to each other and jacking up shyt. Tonight was the perfect night to let Winslow go with the starters bu but Okaro White.

 

[Primetime21]

Some bad habesha hoes at the game

 

[Primetime21]

I think part of Winslow's offensive struggles is still knocking off rust after not playing for a year. He just picked up 5 assists the last few minutes of the half playing with rooks and g-leaguers, he doesn't get those kinds of touches playing with the Johnson boys off the bench.

Winslow - See the end of that 2nd quarter is exactly what I've been saying. Winslow can't score to save his life (yet) but he's a crafty playmaker with a great first step. He needs the ball in his hands to be productive and I can't see how he starts with Dion and Dragiç both needing to have the ball too. If we trade Dion I could see us sliding Winslow to SG


Adebayo - the more I see him play the more I see what Riley saw in him. I don't know who we passed up on to take him that had the fans all upset but let's give it 2 years and see

Micky - don't think he makes the roster but not a bad kid to have on your dleague in case of injury

 

[CouldBeWorse]

Winslow looks so much better when he's a primary ball handler

Provided we start Olynyk, Winslow could start at 3 because Dragic and KO are willing to share the ball. Problem is that then puts Rich on the bench with the tunnel vision brothers.

Apparently some cat named Isiah Hartenstein

The team has been looking better as the preseason has gone on...

also, the Wiz don't have a sponsor yet for their jersey
