Live on WatchESPN

Will probably jump in Swarm Chat.

So no Okogie, Jackson, Alston or 'Ves. Thinking we might get the walk-ons some burn?

Can't wait for next obstacle to occur

Jose playing some nice d early on.

Jackson’s in the game

 

[Jumpman]

Jackson’s in the game

Per the staff they can play in the exhibitions because they don’t count for anything. What are they going to do, make us vacate an exhibition win?

 

[jbix80]

Big Moses looking good so far

 

[LargeFO]

So he's somewhat raw, but uh, yeah, I see why the Wright kid is not redshirting and could eventually be nasty.

 

[SteamWhistle]

Moses is fye, he could start IMO.

 

[nod]

Moses Wright is nice player, wow nice dunk, can run good for big.

 

[Jumpman]

Moses is fye, he could start IMO.

He is the starter at the 4.

 

[jbix80]

I like the tempo Jose is playing with tonight. Looks really comfortable. Hopefully it can translate into the ACC.

 

[dtm1997]

Early vibe I'm getting is that if we need to gel, there's a good chance it'll happen quickly. While there may be unfamiliarity, there does appear to be good chemistry among the team.

 

[jbix80]

I like our tempo much better with Jose that JMo. He looks the same as last year to me.

 

[AUFC]

I'm low-key ready to give up on Justin Moore. He's never going to be a game changer.

 

[GTbball2016]

I will be pleasantly surprised if this team goes .500 with both guys out.

 

[jbix80]

Jose has 9 points, 6 reb, 6 assists, and 3 steals right now...pretty good game. Plus, I like his leadership.

 

[YlJacket]

JO makes a huge difference for this team. Dire need of a playmaker.

 

[AUFC]

Yeah this is like a solidly 12th place ACC team. We'll win the home games we should win against the 8-16 teams, lose the ones against the 1st and 2nd tier, and lose most of our away games. No real playmakers...will be similar to last season minus a lot of the luck factor. Maybe a low NIT seed.

Alvarado will come with his upsides but I won't ever trust the ball in his hands with 25 seconds to go needing to drive the lane and get the go-ahead score.

 

[YlJacket]

Let's not say "won't ever" - there is a little room for growth over the next several years.
