A few thoughts
1) Yao is slow, rusty, but he's still making a defensive impact. Offensively, he's got a loonngg ways to go.
2) Brooks and Martin are flat out dynamite. They also compliment Yao very well. He gives them that extra foot they need to get the open looks to hit at the higher percentage rate.
3) The second group of Buddinger, Miller, and Lee are going to be fun to watch. Unselfish, great passers, and can shoot from anywhere. However, the lack of a shotblocker/defensive rebounder is glaring when Yao goes out. Really hoping Jordan Hill can put it together.
4) Hayes is what he is. But, he's a stopper, not a regular rotation guy.
5) Ish Smith really reminds me of a young Aaron Brooks, I am intrigued by him.
6) Athletic 4's and 5's are going to give this team fits all year
