Hard to glean much from one preseason game. But two of our biggest swing factors for the season looked really good. Poole, of course. And OPJ looks like he really fits in. Both may have issues on defense, but OPJ at least may have been conserving energy a little.

Unfortunately, Kuminga and Moody don't look NBA ready. G-League Warriors will be lit though.

HIGHLIGHTS: OPJ and JP looked great tonight. If they keep looking this good, the season is gonna be fun. Bjelly also looked good.

LOWLIGHTS: AB and Galloway both looked very meh. No clarity on the fight for the 15th. Rooks were rooks and looked overmatched and lost most of the time.

Kinda slaps you in the face how much more natural OPJ is with the Warriors offense compared to Oubre last year.

I think everyone is ready except the rookies, and it’s ok, i like the team

The Warriors took 69 threes tonight. On the one hand, that's how the game is played now so that's good.

On the other hand, the league-wide trend toward this much three point shooting is sucking the soul out of the game imo. Feel like a big rule change will be needed in the near future to prevent games from becoming three point contests.

Chiozza and Mulder both look like good 2-way contract pick-ups. Not 15th man quality though.

Galloway and Bradley have looked pretty uninspiring tonight. Any chance Marc Gasol wants to come back?

Does Wiseman have that post move Kuminga just showed in his toolbag?

Sweet duck and spin for a layup.

OPJ's free throws are a thing of beauty.

Chiozza's are not.

In this game, I loved the performance of passing/shooting with my one concern being defense.

Foul calls are out of control
