Everyone else: Mike Conley and Marc Gasol both look very good, and Marc hit his first 3-point shot of the preseason tonight. A teaser for what is to come? Wayne Selden played decently tonight as the MEmphis Grizzlies’ starting small forward, but not well enough to really be noticed. Vince Carter turned back the clock for a couple slam dunks. Chris Crawford somehow managed to be the only guy with a negative +/- in a 30 point blowout. Vince Hunter played good garbage time minutes, but it’s too early to make conclusions yet. Essentially, he got a few good looks at the rim before Philadelphia began wrapping him up whenever he went up, and he shot 50 percent at the line. Andrew Harrison may have lost his roster spot. Delegated to garbage time, Harrison dished out three nice assists, but blended in with the crowd of “people who aren’t going to make it.”

MIA: This is a new section dedicated to D.J. Stephens. After a monster night vs Atlanta, our new favorite dunker failed to see a single minute in a blowout win. I yelled at the coach to put him in, but I don’t think he heard me. Also resting tonight were Brandan Wright, Jarell Martin and Tony Allen, in addition to the injured folks. Aleen has yet to play preseason minutes, which is strange considering the veterans Zach Randolph and Vince Carter have both seen playing time. Hopefully we’ll get a look at him once the roster solidifies.
