He definitely looks bigger. And If I’m Brown, I couldn’t have dreamed for a better front court to practice against every day than this one. If he gets minutes this year I’m gonna be giddy about his future.

Can this be revised to “If he gets minutes without other guys being injured”?

Good health will be the key to how far this group goes IMHO.

Weird...he now shows as #4 again.

Haters gonna hate! Meaningless. It'll all play out on the court.

GBO!

I have never seen Barnes talk about a group preseason like this one

I think we have a chance to be special

I wholeheartedly agree…says he really enjoys being around this team.
As in final four special if we can stay healthy imho.

I really did almost, but then thought mentioning that might be like going to the doctor without anything wrong. Showing my age… lol

"Just when I thought I was out.... they pull me back in"

That's me every year when we lose our awesome seniors. I'm so hype for this season!

I saw him at the GA game - if he’s 25 lbs heavier then he was an absolute stick before!

Was about to say the same damn thing.

Us bringing in Carey I think was a brilliant move to help Brown as well as JP, Cade, and even Felix.

Everyone wants to see if Nate Ament is the real deal.

Looks like Charlie Kirk managed to make an appearance. Tinfoil hats, unite.

If he can knock down 3's like that at a 35-40% clip, look out.

I won’t be shocked if he’s our leading 3pt shooter in both attempts and makes, I think him and Kobi will be very close.

Are we more bullish now on the roster as a whole? Any word on how Burg is doing?

Definitely think he’s going to play and be a part of the rotation, has a lot to adapt to and catch up on, but should progress throughout the year.

If Abram can hit at least 34% with those two in the upper 30's to almost 40, that would be awesome with our low post game.

Last year, Chaz hit 40% and the next person was Mashak at 35% with very few attempts. ZZ and Gainey were low 30's.

Yup, I’ve said multiple times I think we’re a much better 3pt shooting team.

This + frontcourt + Gillespie and Ament being elite generally makes me think legit FF caliber team with fewer weaknesses than last year.
