Really looked good and confident on several of his post up moves to the hoop. If he can hit that little 4 foot turnaround like he did today, I'm not sure there's anyone on our schedule that can stop it. Should be an interesting season. We've already had several very nice wins.

We need him to play about 10 to 15 productive minutes a game. Today, he look like we could get that from him. the Tech bigs did not suck and he hit the turn around on the with ease.

Derrick had a nice game. But we were laughing, because he absolutely never passes the ball once he gets it. There used to be a golfer in Little Rock named Martin "No Turf" Teeney because he didn't take a divot when he hit his fairway shots. Derrick is now dubbed Derrick "No Pass" Bails. Never saw a pass he liked.

If he make that turnaround shot consistently, I don't care if he never passes it out. Although, I actually saw him pass it out at least once today.

I must have turned my head for a moment.

In all honesty, the kid is no good to you unless he is shooting the ball and scoring. He is out of position on defense and for rebounding more than he should be. Just like Mouzy, both of them have to be knocking down shots to make up for what they give up in other areas.

I agree.

I agree.

Steve has certainly shown a willingness to try and let Mouzy break out of his slump. His 3 point shots weren't close, but he left him in there. But, Mouzy did some good things and, in the end, contributed to our win.

True, but we know that won't happen. He's got to learn that the pass can go back out too.
