I went to the Blue and Gold scrimmage yesterday... few notes...

Danny Pippen didn't play, but he also didn't have any hardware on his knee. I also didn't ever see Akiean Frederick on the floor for the game, but he participated in the 3-point contest. Troy Simons also didn't play

The Gold team won, but had more of the experienced players - Jalen & Jaylin, Philip Whittington, DeAndre Gholston, Mitch Peterson

The Blue team had Anthony, Antonio & Antonio (Roberts, Williams, and Givens), CJ & BJ (Williamson and Duling), and Kain Harris

Jaylin Walker and Jalen Avery looked to be in good form, DeAndre Gholston looked like a freshman, Philip Whittington seemed a bit rough - forcing (and missing) shots.

Going off memory, Anthony Roberts played point guard for the first part for Blue, then it seemed like Antonio Williams was bringing the ball up the court for Blue. Kain Harris had good 3-point shots. Duling played a lot like he did last year, with some skill going to the basket, but if he got the ball, it didn't matter how crowded he was, he was going to shoot. I don't have a box score, but CJ Williamson handled the ball well and was able to find some shots for himself.

With just the 2 forwards (Whittington and Duling) on the floor for most of the time - Givens didn't play muchn- it was hard to see how well we'd match up with other teams. We do have some taller guards - Gohlston at 6'5", Roberts at 6'4", Peterson at 6'5", Harris at 6'4", Williamson at 6'6" - so it might not be as much of a problem. We'll see which of these turn out to be good defenders.
