I only had the opportunity to watch the first half before heading off to work, but Malcom Miller is looking good so far. He’s athletic, long, fluid, knows the system and plays within it. He deserves back up minutes.
Miller, Davis, Thomas are the standouts for me so far.

I have only watched highlights of both the first 2 games but it seems like Johnson and RHJ are not getting very much playing time. Is this Nurse just giving a shot to the deeper bench guys to prove themselves as Johnson and RHJ are know commodities? or is he just not very high on them? Anyone who watched the games have any insight?To be the champs you got to beat the champs

And Norm has always done better beside Lowry and a dominant scorer (Siakam, nowadays) so he can slide into that secondary scorer, tertiary playmaker role. Same sort of spot FVV excels in, off ball shooter, slasher against moving defences, playmaker off those slashes more than off primary action. Plus with Gasol and Lowry rebounding and outlet passing, should be a field day for Norm and Pascal in transition.

Except, Powell has struggled to seize opportunities before and he can be wildly inconsistent game-to-game. Nurse is likely going to play mad scientist with rotations all year, so Powell may not have the luxury have simply slotting into a spot and playing the same way every game and he'll have to figure out how to contribute in different configurations not just when circumstances are ideal for him.To be the champs you got to beat the champs

Time to face the truth, OG is not that dude. There's a reason why he got drafted late in the 1st.Mamba Mentality

OG is NOWHERE near as good a defender or as tough physical of a defender as PJ. He can't shoot the ball as good as PJ either. And his IQ isn't there either.

I thought Miller should have got more burn last year. Really hope they give him a fair opportunity to win a rotation spot instead of just running him out there with scrubs in garbage time. Heck, he's right there with OG for the starting SF spot and ahead of Stanley and RHJ. Smoothest shooting stroke on the team.

OG may be better as an old school PF, he has the build to play down low and grab boards and he also can float out and shoot some threes.
I dont think he is a creator at this point In his career. Cutting, put backs, and corner threes should be his focus. Horace Grant with a corner three should be his model.
Any player that does that dirty work is valuable to a team.

Yeah I like Miller a lot. Still remember him tying up Oladipo against Indiana a couple of years back. He's a solid 2-way payer.. just needs the opportunity.
