Ugly game too be expected with it being the first preseason game but the team shows its great need for Kyrie to settle it down and get it to perform better.
Naji at PG is not something we need to see a lot of hopefully. DP gets way too much time when we have Morez needing development and maybe his position is PF since we have better options at the 5 but his 3 looks good if he can just improve his %.
Early critics of Morez are going to chime in I bet. I think he will be a great option at PF when he gets the 3 to fall more often but we have Cooper and Santi though coach may play Cooper at SF to get more minutes for the others at PF.
Rookies and scrubs versus vets created an expected loss.
Lawal and Sergio looked good on offense but the defense has to improve and interior defense should improve when we play Lively and Gafford more with our starting SF and PF.
Either Cisse needs to get the ball when he is passed to or we need to learn to pass it to him where he can get it, one or the other. He was being fouled a lot so hope his FT shooting has improved or he is a short timer.
Already for the team to limit minutes on the scrubs, especially when the other team has its starters in.
Lawal needs to not foul so much, 4 in 15 minutes is not good. Rookies will do that though his offense was nice and he is showing he is a keeper.
Howard looked ok for a 2 way. John P was less than impressive to me.
2 steals each for Lawal and Howard also Cisse.
Tarik looked like he was starting to get his confidence and hit the 3. That should improve. Should have been credited with another 3 that came off because of Lawal drawing an offensive foul.
We let Houston hit too many open un defended 3 pointers so perimeter defense needs to tighten up.
Max Tarik and Sergio all shot the 3 well enough to warrant using them on the we need a three pointer rotation. I expect to see some Kyrie playing with Sergio at the same time.
Risacher was a plus with him looking good next to Cooper and his 3 looked nice but his rebounding was the big surprise. Led everyone with 8 rebounds.
Scoring leader Cooper led with 19 as Max Naji Sergio and Lawal got into double figures. Risacher and Tarik got 9 each to knock on the door.
