Awesome Rutgers Assistant Brandin Knight Interview
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Two main takeaways:
1) The team appears to fit together nicely, gets along with each other, potentially excellent complimentary pieces to the 2 star freshmen.
2) Sommerville is going to have foul troubles because of his physicality on defense. The attitude to HAVE physicality is great (it really fits Pikiell's philosophy), but learning to rein that in often takes time - sometimes more than 1 season.
Also, Derkack is very physical on defense (too physical maybe) - which means his time may be limited due to fouling as well. That fits with the minutes available to him, Acuff, Davis, etc., off the bench.
