Wemby just schooled Flagg and Davis with a hard dribble and then a tomahawk flush.  He's gotten a little stronger.

Strong debut for Edegecombe.

Bucks might not be a ton better this year, but they'll be more fun to watch.  The ball will actually move and they won't dribble the ball for 20 of 24 seconds on the shot clock.  I'd imagine the locker room will be better with Turner in and Dame, who never wanted to be in Milwaukee and always seemed like he was pouting, out.  And Doc even has a starting lineup that makes sense!

In other Eastern Conference news, I need Embiid to stay healthy.  I said a couple years ago when it was clear Maxey was a stud that the 76ers should trade Embiid and build around Maxey.  They should be getting out and flying as a team, but I need Embiid to stay healthy and slow them down.  A backcourt of Maxey, McCain, and Edgecomb would be awesome in a year or two.

Anybody else remember when the dentists proclaimed that Jalen Johnson had ruined his own life because he quit on Duke?

Uhhhhh.....Wemby is making an early statement.

Wemby is literally making Anthony Davis look like me guarding Davante in the post.  The only thing stopping the young man is cheap fouls.  I'm also wondering why guys would bite on his shot fake?  There is a 0.0% chance you're blocking his shot unless it's from behind before he gets to his release point.

Really good night for the MU guys tonight. Oso looks like he's going to be a major contributor this year.

Nice.

He got the start though he played less minutes than Mark Williams. Way more minutes than Richards. Was surprised that Malauch didn't get off the bench.

Also didn't realize that former Badger Nigel Hayes is finally breaking into the NBA this season. I think he may have had a few 10 day contracts in the past but this is his first "real" NBA contract. Not something that happens to many 30 year olds.
