How many teams can put on the floor two forwards who can take you off the dribble? This is an exicting team to watch. The freshman recruiting class looks vastly underrated now.

Brissett is amazing. He's like a taller Battle but just as fast to the basket.
Brisset looks like a 5 star player.
...because he is. Ridiculous that he wasn't. Outside of Bagley, I'm not seeing too many freshman more impressive than him.Brisset looks like a 5 star player.
Hes a bad mf’er

I actually think he is smoother going to the basket than Battle and it gives me the chills to think how good he'll be when he gets stronger. He'll be a one man wrecking crew.
Worst case is Battle and Brissett leaving.
they bring tremendous energy & activity to the team on both ends of the court
but, boy, their 3pt shooting
when they launch from the arc, i think of the song from hamilton:
they're just like their country
young,scrappy & hungry
but they're not going to make that
shot
First game this season I've been able to see and WOW! This is not the Cuse of the last 8 years, full of players who couldn't convert a 6-inch rebound if their mother's lives depended on it -- it was so frustrating to watch all those missed bunnies. But this team is the everlovin' opposite. A bunch of scrappers with high efficiency under the boards and multiple hands waiting for anything that doesn't go in. These guys can FINISH! We're seeing REBOUNDS . . . I can't believe it . . . I'd forgotten what an Orange rebound looked like! All we need is for some consistent shooters to evolve out of this group by tournament time, but I'm looking forward to watching this Dive-and-Drive team battle. They'll give opponents fits and win some games they weren't expected to, assuming refs don't foul them out. Good reffing job in the MD game, by the way . . . refs let them play most of the game. Can't wait for the next game.-VBOF
Kudos to you for anticipating that this team would be good.
Oshae's ability to rebound has been a nice surprise so far. Both he and Marek have a real nose for the ball. Can't remember the last time we had freshman at both forward spots AND at center playing big minutes.Brissett really looks amazing. Few dumb freshman moments, but for the most part poised and obviously insanely talented. Kinda reminds me of Melo the way he rebounds so well.
