This team has been built with an inferior PG, who can't make plays, is limited offensively, and doesn't play even mediocre defense.  We traded in a PG (Mintz) who had issues, but at least he was high caliber.  Carlos will never have even one game that Mintz had.  Glad to be gone with Judah, but this is so disappointing.

Then we have a center position being filled by a dude I really like but hobbles around.  He's a good player to have maybe 20 min and as someone you don't need to rely on but when he acts like your best player, you're in trouble.  No way he can reliably make plays.  I really like Dry Rub but it can't be the main show.

Moore.  More please!

Taylor.  Not a good game tonight but really like this young man's play.  Love his passion and energy.

Bell.  No reason to repeat what we've all been saying about him for months/years.  He is what he is.  Like Dry Rub, if he's the guy you're counting on each game, you're not going to win consistently.  He's way too inconsistent.

Donnie.  Love his upside.  Disappointed that he's not more dominant and refined (that's not on him - just my own expectations and what this team needs).  I really like Donnie though.  I think he will be really good, but afraid this talent will be wasted before he is on a team that can play in the ncaa tourney.

JJ.  Feel bad for the kid.  He was emerging into something special and what he worked hard to become.  Big setback for him and the team.  Crushing loss.  Just what we couldn't afford.

Jayre.  Probably my favorite player going a few games into this season.  Just a solid player who just seems to know how to make winning plays.  Seemed tonight that he did what makes him ineffective or average, which is hanging out around the perimeter.  When he doesn't play to his strengths, he becomes average at best.
