Was hoping for more ball handling and play making from Dotson but I guess he wasn't able to bring that over from the combine.

Dotson looked much better as the game progressed so that's encouraging. Labeyrie is good!

Rathan-Mayes: Was very impressed with him. Was more under control and comfortable running the point than Randle. Has good size 6'4, 200lbs...Was aggressive going to the basket. Made some buckets (including a 4 pt play) and was pretty good defensively. Want to see more of him...

Randle: Obviously, dude can score the ball. He led the team in scoring but he struggling immensely trying to play point. At times, he couldn't get the ball over half-court when under pressure and he's too small to play the 2. Knicks didn't help him out much as they didn't run much high PNR to bail him out.

Kornet: Lights out shooter from the perimeter and makes for a perfect pick and pop big. A Channing Frye type player. Didn't see much from him on the defensive end.

Dotson: Dude has a nice stroke. Made a couple of 3's but he seemed to be rushing a bit. He would benefit from a drive and kick point guard.

Louis labeyrie: Way more confident and comfortable than in previous years. Looks like he belongs. He showed range out to the 3 point line as well as some mid range...Got overpowered a few times on the defensive end by Wood though.

Plumlee: Well schooled on the fundamentals. Ran the floor well (nice chase down block) ,boxed out, , rebounded well, and finished around the basket. Shows some explosiveness. Played well. Can stick as an end of the bench player on the cheap.

Barry: Made a few jumpers, hustled as well. Need to see more to see if he's an actual NBA player.

Hayes: Struggled to finish around the rim. He's a below the rim player and at 6'8 can get swallowed up in the paint by better athletes...

Artist: Didn't show much....

If he continues to work on his body, he has a place in the NBA.

I was watching him move without the ball on the perimeter and was impressed, and he has a quick release.
Remember the guy had a late growth spurt...I expect his game and his mental process as a player are still evolving.

Wonder which of our BB people fell in love with him?

Team looks horrible so far.

agreed...Plumlee, Barry, Louis, Kornell have taken a stop back today...Kornel finding it difficult to shake free for open looks. Barry looks like a G leauger thus far and Plumlee getting overwhelmed in the paint. Louis needs to get stronger as he's getting pushed around in the paint...Still got another half to play...
