  1. It took 5 minutes of action today to make me realize that Yves Missi is a generational talent.

  2. Dejaunte Murray looked really good as the on ball creator.
    Whats going to be weird is when BI is in the rotation, especially if hes going to start. Like is CJ coming off the bench and they're going to play BI in that 2 spot?
    Or will they really run Zion as the 5 while keeping CJ with starters…

  3. Missi didn’t look good had 4 fouls in 6 minutes and looked clumsy a whole year of developing gleague will help him improve
