I like how Bud is letting the youngsters run. Need to see what they do with the game on the line. This is what preseason is for.

The issue with Bol, offense and especially defense, he only plays the ball. He needs to learn to play more structured. He's all playground.

I don’t think so. With this group Bud should make Gillespie or Bol the go to guys. Should have let them cook.

This whole group didn’t play as a team towards the end.

I liked much of what happened for most of the game. I don’t really care about how the very end of the bench played.

Our downfall was Dunn fouling out and no Okogie. Just didn’t have the right defenders out there. End of the bench just isn’t that good, no surprise there.

That's fine offensively in this circumstance but that late and 1 was a prime example of him flying for a ball he couldn't get so his man had a free lane. It reminds of Oubre on D, he doesn't play his man. He'll never be the primary offensive guy out there in the regular season. He needs to play in the system.
