I'm more disappointed in the coaching.  The players have talent, but aren't coached up well.

Freeman should have been fast tracking to the pros, and might have on another team, that made him play harder defensively and structure his shot selection more inside-out.

JJ is also a McD's all american who never came close to living up to that billing.  He's okay, and not a crushing disappointment, he's just the same player he was three years ago.  And he's a guy who doesn't seem to want the ball in his hands when the game is on the line.

George has been more or less what I expected.  I thought at the beginning of the year that the expectations for him, with limited athleticism, were far overblown.

Kiyan had the ups and downs I expected when I watched him play in HS.  Very typical frosh season, IMO, with some good things flashed and some games he struggled / didn't do much.

But really, the focus should be on the subpar coaching staff, which did the players no favors.  Talent, depth, and size were there.  This should have been an NCAA team, and would have been with a more competent staff.

Oh well -- 3 more games and it is over.
