Haliburton on His Return, Preseason Thoughts, and Most Intriguing Players!

DuncanSeeing this with Darren Peterson, where you compare that to summer league where he just had the ball in his hands a lot, to now here's Deontay George initiating. We can let Laurie have the ball a little bit. Use some records before going down. You have some of the high post hub stuff.

DuncanI like the fit and the context for Darren Peterson. And in general, I think this Utah offense is going to be very good. Like they just have so many things to poke at. As an offense, they have so many skilled guys, so many mismatches they can create.

DuncanI'm excited to watch the offense.

DuncanOther end of the floor is going to stress me out.

DuncanAnd I think starting the preseason against the Denver Nuggets of all teams will probably accentuate some of the problems that they're going to have on that front, both in terms of how they can match up physically and from a size perspective, how well they can end possessions. And if you can just out, I have even bigger questions about the rebounding for Utah.

DuncanBut offensively, at the very least, they're going to put points on the board.

LoweYou nailed it with Nurk. Look, if he misses four weeks, which is his reevaluation timetable, tack on another week just because that's how it usually goes. It's like 12 games because we're still well into the preseason.
