    Ya I would be surprised if they don't go with Precious. Birch is still a really good option though, he's definitely behind the rest of the team due to covid

    When Pascal comes back, I would like to see Scottie run the point and FVV play the 2

    Scottie is starting for Pascal while he's out. When he comes back in a few weeks who knows.

    I still think Precious starts over Birch but that's recency bias where Precious was playing and Birch was not so wouldn't be shocked if I'm wrong.
    I think the organization views Birch ultimately as a backup and Precious eventually as the starter. Precious may have accelerated that timeline.

    I still think they try to work Khem in for the first month. I also think Scottie has taken a starting spot. There is a chance we see GTJ have his minutes seriously cut.

    He has stolen the starting C spot from Birch in my eyes. I thought he was going to take until towards the end of the season but he looks ready.

    Yeah, was going to say that Birch better watch out or Precious will eat all the minutes at the 5-spot.

    I don't think we talk about Precious enough. He's heading into his second year, development and skill wise, he's on par with Siakam and OG in there development.

    It's going to take him a bit longer on D, the 5 is hard position to defend and he's a bit undersized. He'll find ways to defend the bigger dudes in time. Court vision and passing need to develop a bit, I would like to see him push the ball to the outlets on some of those breaks, and pass into the dunker spot on some of his drives. His shooting will come in time, but it's not that far off. Overall he's one of our most intriguing players.
    I think he still reminds me of a slightly more agile Ibaka in terms of overall game and feel. He is aggressive. I think if he can use that aggression this year and grow and then work on his playmaking and 3point shot he will be a beast.

    Does this guy have a nickname? Just catching up and watching the first preseason game now. What fun. Our bench mob is gonna be terrifying for the rest of the league. And Precious kinda looks like Predator with his physique, dreadlocks and bouncy gait. And there is the obvious alliteration.
    "Bob"

    But, being named Precious, he hardly needs a nickname. :-D
    I hadn't thought about that.
