I watched the game at the same time as watching the Cowboys. I don't know if there are any firm opinions you can form from one internal scrimmage. But here are my thoughts...even if they are wrong.
I was thrilled how KP looked. Right now, I am not worried about made/missed shots or defensive possessions, but I thought he got way more touches in the scrimmage in different parts of the court. Maybe because of this, but he looked like he was really having fun out there and playing really free. For me that was the biggest thing about the scrimmage.
I thought all the players looked to be in good shape. I don't know if it is the different hairstyle or the headband, but Brunson to me looks like he is in great shape.
I will be disappointed if Moses does not make the roster. He is a factor on the offensive boards and at the rim. He also runs really well. If he makes the team, I doubt he gets a lot of run. But at his low salary, isn't he worth keeping around to see if with more experience his defensive IQ gets better and finds ways to help teams while on the court? He has really interesting raw natural athletic traits.
I don't agree with Burke's stance, and was ready to let him go (may still feel that way). Basketball wise, I thought he looked good. Looks to be in great shape and really quick. If it is just a basketball decision, I am not sure how Terry is better than him. Terry may have the edge if the Mavs think he is worth developing, but Terry isn't ready to play NBA minutes now. Each day he misses, for whatever reason, is not a good sign for him.
No one really stuck out as awful in the scrimmage. Luka was going 75% and had some turnovers, but he looks to be a good shape too. Fun to see everyone back.
