Ennis

I'm sure he's going to be a good one, but not so far. I can live with the missed shots but not with the lazy defense. This needs to be corrected quickly.

The fact he had no points doesn't bother me (considering what else he did), but 0 for 6 from the field does. We will need him to do a little scoring to keep defenses honest.

Having said that, I was pleased with his "field general" role (except the turnovers) which included 7 assists and team leading 8 rebounds. To be honest, he looked a little timid to me for most of the game until about midway through the second half. I think being way behind in the first half intimidated him a bit as a mistake would have been large at that point of the game. I want to see him drive the lane a little more.

There has been some early, very high expectations for him which can be difficult to live up to. I think the kid will be just fine and I look forward to watching him progress.

Agree. That floater will begin to drop; the perimeter defense will sag off when he shows he can make a couple of threes. He'll be ok.

Defensively, we'll see. Could take a little more time on that end.

Also agree, he needs to be given the greenlight all year for that if that floater becomes consistant by midseason, or march it will make us a much better team.

Very Scoop-esque, right down to the jersey number. Except, of course, that it didn't go in.

Tyler's form is good on that shot. I have every confidence that he'll begin to make a few of them. It'll be one more weapon that we didn't have on offense last year. Further reason to be bullish on this team.

When he gets comfortable and those shots start falling look out. Cornell shaded towards cj a lot and ennis didnt take advantage of the open lanes early. Once he does and teams are forced to come off cj look out. I think he will be more dangerous in the lane to score than mcw was.

Hell, the OP went up during the game.

This happens almost every year. High expectations and praise for a new or returning player then a game or 2 of perceived subpar performance and the concerns begin. Let's give Ennis or any other player (e.g., if Grant has a bad 1st game) a chance and look at the big picture over a longer period. These guys will deliver as we know.
