The rookie trio have good chemistry on the court. No one gets in the other person’s way.
Has Wesley improved his ability to draw fouls? Seems like he’s getting a lot of calls tonight.

It looks like our young guys are better than the Magic’s young players.
He was doing the same, forcing things, at the beginning of the last pre-season and the first few of the season and then settled into what was working for him.
Pre-season is for looking and striving for your limits.
Then settle in to win games as you learn about yourself.
Ref crew maybe also.
Remember that one guy who kicked Timmy out for laughing while on the bench?
ok, game is pretty much done.
Decent bounce back game by Tre.
Center play between Poeltl and Collins was subpar.
All three rookies shined tonight. Wesley looked super competent as a PG, Sochan had great defensive possessions, and Malaki can be relied on for a bucket.
KBD has pretty much secured a spot on the roster. People don’t like to give him credit, but if he’s become a reliable shooter then he’s a rotation player for sure.
Roby sucks at transition passes. Surprising that he’s getting minutes at the 3.
Overreaction too early hot takes:
Wesley might have the worst touch for a spur in over a decade. No vertical explosion plus no touch, not very enjoyable to watch
And unpopular opinion, but I'm contextually unimpressed by Sochan. Should be a good glue guy and that's more or less it. Unremarkable size, unremarkable length, unremarkable vertical pop, doesn't project as a scorer. Not a tremendous standout in advanced stats with blocks or steals. I'm not down on him like I was with Luka, think he'll have a solid career, I just don't share the excitement over him or see anything special. Don't see what the big deal is.
If he starts and if Keldon is the SF then maybe he looks better and I'll be able to see what everyone else sees.
Yeah sochan definitely is no savior, we are developing him for a championship contender down the line.
The biggest takeaway from tonight is that our 3 rookies have upside.
The remainder of this team are basically deep bench guys. Jak and JRich combined might only be worth 1 FRP.
Gotta remember how young some of these dudes are. I like what I see from Sochan and can see him turning into a really good pro down the line. Not superstar potential but not sure anyone ever said that.
Kori is 1/2 re gambling advice.
He'll be the first cut. I expect Langford to be gone soon also.
Really unfortunate Keldon and Primo out. Need to figure out the starting chemistry into the bench guys, spacing, all that. Interesting to see Roby and Sochan out there together. Feel some of this is necessary if Poeltl won't be around much longer and Zollins is always a question mark. I have a lot of doubts about Vassell. The young guys to me clearly need to be on the main team and getting playing time.
Someone needs to tell them that going 3-79 won't get them zeroth pick.
Yeah, he has this thing called talent, a foreign concept around here.
Lol that’s what it seems like
Seriously Poeltl looked like he gained weight. I’ve mentioned that I’m leaning on keeping him if Sochan/Poeltl click. But looks like Poeltl lookimh bad coming from off-season… again
Seems both of them are playing in the last two preseason games as per Pop
I don‘t say that you‘re right, but why should he even care to be in top shape now? To loose 60+ games?
Let Wesley develop in austin, Sochan will be a solid pro, and Malachi will need some split duty between austin / San Antonio. Our defense will be better than expected….. oh yeah, Roby looks good minus the bonehead passes!!!!!
atleast theres that
Alpha Doug doing alpha things as I've always said and leading the team
And thanks sochan n tre for proving me right when everyone said yall couldn't play together cause weren't shooters n I said only poetl nonshooter
