It’s hard to gauge off one exhibition where it was our first game and we were subbing like crazy where there was no continuity with a lineup. But there were a few notable things.
Very sloppy and lots of turnovers on offense. That’s on coaching. Autry has to clean that up
Athleticism was superior to last years team. This team just looks physically and athletically superior to the last few years
JJ was not great. I’m sure he’ll be fine but he’s not our alpha dog. I don’t want that ball in his hands to end the game
George is our best all around player. Offensively, defensively, he’s steady with the ball. Stat sheet stuffed with points, rebounds and assists. He’s really damn good and of he’s in the game, we have a shot. If you want a winning team, that’s the PG you need at the helm.
Betsy was a surprise. He’ll get minutes. He was steady, great shooting, very good on defense too. He’s got the body to be physical too and doesn’t seem like he’s timid to knock around with the big guys unlike Bell
Kingz is what we need. Good compliment to George, JJ and Freeman. Just need Kingz to be steady, knock down some shots. And he wasn’t afraid to mix it up with the bigs either. He was also good on D
Freeman. Was okay. Not good, not bad. He was big down the stretch when he needed to be. Knocked down his free throws. He’ll be a 13-15 ppg and 9 rpg guy for us
Kyle was very physical. Little chaotic at times. Terrible free throw shooter which concerns me. Played well defensively and a very good rebounder. He had a quietly good statistical game which is what I expect from him. 8ppg, 8rpg kinda guy is what we need and protect the rim.
Thought we did well pushing the ball. Damn was it nice to see some fast breaks again, and even a few alley oops on fast breaks like the good ole days.
I think our rotation will end up being
PG: George
SG: Starling
SF: Kingz
PF: Freeman
C: Kyle
Betsy:might be the first off the bench he was impressive
Souare: back up center
Kiyan or Fennell as the first guard off the bench
Unknown about Sadiq yet as he didn’t play.
Bryce will be spot minutes and DNP a lot
Womack should redshirt
Tiefing redshirt or spot minutes
It’s clear though that George needs to play a lot of minutes. Donnie will get a lot of minutes.
We realllllly gotta clean up the turnovers and sloppiness. If we cleaned that up we probably win this game by 20+. Free throw shooting was alright but can be worked on. Rebounding and defense was soooooo much better. We’ll see what Pace brings as our final tune up

Im a Autry hater, but I did like the tenacity. Again it's a exhibition, we tried 10k different line ups, we were gonna have shaky moments.
I was happy that JJ showed some effort on D, which he didnt do at all last year. Donnie again just stands like a light pole on D, he needs to move his feet and use his athleticism to block more shots. Betsey physically reminds me of Jaren Jackson, Kingz meh wasn't really featured enough to make a judgement. Kiyan is a true HOF players son, knows how to find pockets and is always in the right position offensively. WILL Kyle plays alot like Kenneth Faried if he rebounds like that all season that will help alot! Fennell a classic off the bench PG, we'll need his passing and vision but man like alot of Aussies mens and women's hes gonna have to get used to the Athletesism. Zephir wasnt as bad as i thought, reminds me of Cuffe just physically bigger.
Im probably missing more, but I only caught a couple 5 min spirts of the game.

I didn’t watch the game but checking box score I’m underwhelmed

Looking at the stats, we were the much better team shooting, rebounding, personal fouls, free throws and with assists. There were 2 worrisome stats though - steals and turnovers, both pointing to an issue with ball security. Buffalo had 7 more steals (12 vs 5 ) and 6 less turnovers (17 vs 11). That’s a total of 13 possessions that we just gave away to Buffalo which is bad and made the game this close (we were lucky we excelled in the other areas or it would have been even closer (or worse yet a loss). It resulted in Buffalo even attempting more shots than we did in the game.
We are playing uptempo with a variety of mixed lineups. I imagine it contributes some to the sloppiness we saw but Buffalo also freely substituted throughout the game too. We had the superior athletes but we lost focus especially in that second half. You just can’t allow giving away that many extra possessions to your opponent. We have to value the ball more.

First of all this thread is something else… how can you be underwhelmed if you didn’t watch the game but looked at the box score?
My take:
- high floor team, but I don’t know if they have any high end offensive talent… if they can find some offense this should be a tourney team
- tons of good depth… not much drop off in players 5-10, but that’s also because we don’t have elite talent
- team defense was much improved… I saw some defensive rotations and secondary help for the first time under Autry. Saw very few jail break lay ups compared to last few years
- not sure what the plan is on offense. Saw some 4-out and 5-out sets. Saw a lot of pick and roll potential with George. Saw some kick and drive and some dribble hand offs. What I don’t see is a consistent plan. I really hope the plan isn’t “jack up 3s”
- I hope this is Freeman knocking off the rust
That’s all I got from this one

Donnie is a gifted player. He had 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists in a game where he played pretty poorly. If he was on his game, he easily could have had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
We've got some good players. I was impressed by Kiyan at times. Betsey will play more minutes than expected. Kyle was active - I like what he gives us defensively and on the boards.
I'd like to see a bit more of this lineup (simply based on who played well in game 1)
1: George
2: Kingz
3: Betsey
4. Freeman
5: Kyle
