Overall impression.  Carey probably played his best in the first game.  Couldn't make out the players in the second video, but his stat line was not impressive - 6 points, I think, and only 1 assist in game two.

The final game, he handled the ball well, got the team into its offense, made some good passes, and shooters just missed.  He made a nice mid-range shot, did not look to shoot much from outside.  Tried to drive a few times, but not a lot of success getting to the rim.

So far, if this were the start of the season, I would trust him on the ball, and would say that he has improved in that respect.  His shooting is still not that great, and he really needs to concentrate better on his free throws and his defensive awareness.  Guys get away from him and he doesn't keep close enough sometimes.

If he's on the weak side, he is prone to getting sucked in too much to the middle, leaving the far corner or far wing shooter too much space to close out on them.

This was about a "B" start.  His first game was the best of the three.  He got some good experience against quality players.  These guys were pretty good.

There is going to be film study now when he gets back.  Let's see how much he improves when he's playing with all his own teammates when they take the trip to Italy.
