Deep is right .... I doubt there will be a 2nd unit in the country that will be able to match up with whomever makes up our 2nd unit ... In fact, our 3rd string would be stronger than most 2nd units in our conference !!!

Should be fun to see how this team shakes out. Right now all we have is what they look like physically and we really won't know a thing until we get into some of those tough non-conference games. I remember when we had Pro Day and went to the Bahamas with the Wiseman team and everyone on the team was going to be one and done and Baugh was the biggest surprise for the NBA scouts. Think I am most excited about the staff now, having Larry Brown speak daily is invaluable.

dm reported that bonzi wells was also at the event

Good grief. He signed a magazine for me. I’ve met him numerous times. He’s a good dude. Nicer than most in the NBA.

Hurry up and get that mag out!

… it’s the place to be.

apparently so

just not on the Dockery Forum

Landers looked solid, you can tell he is not as athletic as the many of then new comers, but he has basketball skills.

Chandler - played within himself and held his own. Not as tall as I thought he was.

Lester - being Lester, shooting the open three, playing hard nose defense and looked like a leader. Ran the offense a little bit - taking pressure off of Bates.

Deandre - still a very calming force on the floor. Ran the offence a little bit - taking the pressure off of Bates.

Tyler Harris - good to see him back. Dude can still stroke the three ball. Did a decent job of running the team and could see more time than we thought. He is probably still the quickest man on the team.

Malcolm - banged with the other bigs, matched up against Jalen a lot. He is not as quick as Jalen, but is as strong. Rebounded well. Looked a little gassed out there and has to get his stamina up.

Jayden - almost didn't recognize him, his hair was really short. He looked stronger and quicker than last year and less hesitant. Being more assertive makes you a better player.

I'd love to see Jayden have a good year.

I think he is close on offense...He gets himself in good situations to score baskets...He just misses them

Defensively I am not sure how much he can improve

We saw some of that last year.
