I attended the game.  Coleman and Cavanagh were sitting for large chunks of the second quarter for some reason, and that's when Dematha opened up a monster lead.  Strange coaching.  There was a huge difference between Dematha's role players and JD's.  Not even on the same level.

Cavanagh is a player.  Good shooter, good poise - JD was lost without him on the floor.  He's a little like Abromitis but a better athlete and not as much of an outside threat at this point.  Grant's length bothered him in one-on-one situations though.

Grant was quiet for large stretches and then would make a "wow" move.  He had a baseline dunk that brought the house down, and some incredibly athletic rebounds.  Lots of upside but not really a "go to" player at this point.  All the tools are there though.  Great frame, great form on his jumper.  Great hops and good quickness.

Coleman is thick but I was expecting him to be taller.  He's 6'8".  Grant looked taller than him.  Anya was around 6'8' as well.  The big fellas matched up pretty evenly against each other.  Coleman bullied him on a few plays (looks like he has 30-40 lbs on Anya), but Anya scored on a few hooks in the 2nd half in one-on-one situations with Coleman.  Neither is a great defender at this point.  Both displayed good hands and good positioning.
