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

LoweYeah, I mean, if Giannis is healthy, they're going to be a very good team. If he plays 70 games, whatever, 68 games, they're going to be a very good team. He's got to be healthy in the playoffs, which he hasn't been.

LoweI'm still interested in just sort of the what is Bam doing when Giannis has the ball question and how they work that out. But there's a lot to do. There's a lot of places he can be. They can play two -man game together a little bit.

LoweAgree.

LoweFirst sign, encouraging. All right, my turn. uh two minnesota observations okay number one jayden mcdaniels looks ready for a big season he's just playing and has played for a while but these these preseason games he's been playing with just a level of like bravado and confidence on offense that feels even a little bit amped up to me and i just think the cominga fit it's been two preseason games i was kind of pessimistic about the spacing of it on

Loweoffense and sort of like how are they going to work with that i'm intrigued after two games it's going to be messy and clunky on some nights because that's just the nature of the beast but a the ant kaminga mcdaniel's trio is pretty fucking big and physical on the wing on defense and you've just seen enough of like um like lamello kaminga pick and roll on one side of the floor if you switch kaminga's rolling ahead of that switch

Loweand rudy's in the dunker spot looking for an outlet pass and coming is so fast that even if the help is there you can go through it or even more promisingly like aunt coming a empty side pick and roll on the right side of the floor kick to lamello lamello go bear pick and roll on the left side when the defense is already in motion already compromised like they're hitting all and they're running coming clearly as the green light

Loweto like grab and go on train in transition like they're hitting the right buttons for that to be a workable offensive combination i'm still a little skeptical and i you know if if it doesn't work very well io coming in is the obvious solution the bench is like really dependent on terrence shannon jr's looks all right and baron jay who looks all right and you know bones who's bones but i the the first glimpses of the kaminga uh gobert
