here we go
1.) you can see the potential dripping with Myles Johnson. He has the atributes you need in to be a great big guy. Hands, balance, footwork, coordination. This kid has a great basketball feel....and his explosion timing is much better than you think. Needs one more year of S&C. If he gets quicker with his foot speed ....this guy has big time potential. He will learn to anticipate better to get there faster on help defense as experience comes...but this guy has legit potential to be a double digit scorer at the five as junior and senior
2.) Mathis future lies at the three. This kid is going to be that athletic swingman we have not had in so long. He needs to get MEAN out there. This will be b a game that he scores 20 as a junior, with the game coming to Him, when he attacks every shot stronger and makes his free throws. He has that upper body that can get right into someone else’s chest on the bounce and get that strong shot off. He is going to be our lock down defense in a couple of years...
3.) the ball movement was terrific. No more vacuum cleaner ball.
4.) Eugene is just a basketball player now ...period. He is tough. He is definelry replacing freeman numbers this year...and very much within our offenseZ
5.) people know I have been critical of Issa. Well, he DID improve. He will have a role this year. For him to really make the move up, and I’m not sure this will happen, the key his his fluidity on both offense and defense. He still was a partial step behind the rythem all night..:but used his speed and athleticism to “Catch up”. If he can get his speed, balance and timing to be ON TiME....then he really hits his potential and can be that 10-12 scorer at the SF in an efficient manner on this team. He will have to learn that...otherwise, and this is a good thing, I think he will eventually be passed and be a role player. (and we need those too)
6.) 12/20 from three was done in such a good way. Extra pass, proper spacing, so few pull up chucks
7.) kiss is very fluid and crafty. The type of player we have not had in so long
8.) Harper just screams star. Period. He will need time to develop....but you see the skills.
9.) concern part one...we need to learn to NOT let other teams come into our gym and get comfortable. Period.need the instentity right from the opening tip. Long time criticism of mine. FDU was comfortable early. Something we need to learn to be a winning program someday
10.) concern two. Our rotation defense was very slow for the first 10-12 minutes. Caused not only issues with no help....but got us out position to box out and why the rebounding numbers weren’t acceptable in the first half relative to who we played. Something to expect to be a work in progress
11.) lastly ...the ball moved so much better today. Lot less ball screens and lot more screens away. Different offense for different personnel
