Ball movement is better. Grant needs to work on his lateral movement on D. He does a great job of keeping his dribble and finds teammates almost effortlessly. Its only preseason but the sooner Grant gets to run the first team the better.

I agree that Williams looks better than expected. Melo's stroke looks really good. Porzingis isn't forcing the issue, hasnt had too many good looks or plays run for him. Looks more comfortable out there though.

Not feelin' Lance Thomas. O'Quinn looks better suited coming off the bench.

Agree with all points. Also, Porzingis looks a lot bigger then he did in the summer league.

Actually thought the second unit was not moving enough at times. A lot of standing around on the perimeter, at times.

Limited use of the Triangle, from what I can see.

Calderon has also looked better...at least his shot.

This is pretty much what I was expecting to see start to develop. Theirs a long way to go but you can see the signs of a very competitive team brewing. If this team can develop defensive chemistry they can be better than many pundits expected.

He's doing what he's always done with the exception of last year. Just gotta keep him healthy and not overuse him.

I saw Grant driving and kicking the ball out to guys on the perimeter but they weren't connecting. Overall I thought the ball moved better with less ISOs.

He definitely looks better tonight and hs shooting could really help the team. Casey raved about him as a leader. Hopefully being healthy he can be an asset as a leader also.

Much more active around the basket. Did a lot of good boxing out. Actually saw him shove Gortat in the back.

Should have dunked on the short shot he missed. Still needs to work on his footwork around the basket.

We are really playing the zone, and he has to have a better idea of how much distance he can leave his opponent when he is protecting down low.

Yeah but he is so long. When he stepped out for the turnover it didn't look like he was even close to the line.

Very few classic ISOs...this was definitely true.

I can only imagine how good KP will be when he learns more about playing as a true big man. You can tell it's not something he's had to do a lot up to this point. He can pick up a lot playing with RoLo and KOQ.

I'll channel my inner Briggs and say that we might not want to have him operating out there too often.

This is closer to how we should've been running the offense. Just constant motion n passing.

So far he appears more effective from outside in my opinion.

He just made a shot to shut me up...shot fake, drive, short J...slick for a guy his size.
