    I really regret that Claver & Freeland are off due to international duties because It would be nice to see how the Freeland cooperates with Leonard in terms of creating a court vision plan in new season.Productivity of Claver may be a factor in any Batum deal if we see the Spaniard doing well. But they out so it's just pure speculation.

    I'd rather focus on the backcourt then. First impressions of player tendencies, skills etc...

    that was a good game by our newcomers + Luke Babbitt. I'm really huge admirer of Lillard offensive & mental attributes, the way he plays, the way he controls , the way he handles the things and when it came to prove himself he did in the great manner (apart from last FT's ;) )  Leonard was a beast , his energy is not running out, he really runs & jumps a lot , forcing people to make a bad decisions or altered shots. He's nice in pick n roll situations, set some screens (on and off ball) I'd love to see him in low post manoeuvring & pick n pop in next games.

    It was only one game, but at risk of jumping to conclusions i think that Leonard will be more of a factor this year than many have given him credit for. Kid has energy for days and isnt dumb about how he expends it.

    Unfortunately Meyers had been outplayed by D-Mo in low post D as well in boxing out against group of aggressive Rockets players. That concludes a question: Is he going to be ready against skillful players and can he avoid committing easy fouls ?

    Thank you, Knorton. Now more rebuilding or anything. No rookie nonsense. Get a solid Defensive big. Trade every single pick to get it.

    I don''t trust big men with a history of injury. Ibaka also weighs more than Noel, but you''re right, early days yet, he could bulk up. I am sure, that he will lose some of his speed and athleticism when he does though. Wasn''t that one of his bes...
