Robert’s with a nice 3 early. Efe and Gueye playing together looks legit.

 

[kougkurt]

Let try to establish something inside.

 

[kougkurt]

JK showing a lot of offensive variety and skill. Inside and out.

 

[COUGinNCW]

JK looks like he’s going to be a player!

Koulibaly plays with a ton of energy. After being out a year I'm sure he's excited to get out there. Really like his quicks.

Roberts is doing some nice things.

 

[SaveFerris]

Jakimovski for 3. If he finds his rhythm he could be a nice threat.

 

[kougkurt]

They are confirming what we have all been saying. Depth is extremely impressive.
minute distribution will be interesting

 

[SaveFerris]

Lots of depth and we seem pretty unselfish.

Really like Roberts start. Although Flowers went 0-2 on 3s he had 4 assists, 8 boards, and 0 TOs.

I like the makings of the backcourt as we get more chemistry between Roberts, Flowers, Noah, Koulibaly with Rapp and Rice deep contributors.

These things usually sort themselves out, but it could be an interesting challenge for Smith to decide who should be on the court together at a given time....and who/when to replace them during the game. With so much more depth, establishing and maintaining rhythm & momentum can sometimes be tough when there are more players who can contribute and fewer minutes to go around.

Smith said he wants to get to 7 or 8. That's what you want but it's going to be tough to get it down that far. Starters today plus Efe. Then 1 or 2 from Rodman, Bamba, Koulibaly, Jakimovski. All 4 have had their moments game 1.

As I type Koulibaly with a nice no look to Efe. Good problem to have!
