Hughes is better than I expected offensively, even with JB's praise. Where's the "rust" we usually see after a year not playing games? This is the kind of (strong/beefy) player that gives us fits defensively - a volume scorer that has to be played to shoot but then is too powerful to keep out of the lane. Will be fun to watch him this year and that block was evidence that he can contribute (at least against smaller teams) on the defensive glass.

Buddy is going to be a really good player for us and add lots of depth at SG. Not only can he stroke it, I thought he moved well laterally and looked aggressive in the press. Defenders counting on him to spot up for 3's will be disappointed that he can bounce it for a MR pull-up.

Totally agree on Sid being behind, and Chukwu looking stronger and more confident around the rim.

Our scoring diffusion impressed me. Yes it was a D-II team, but they're pesky defensively. We still showed good balance and racked up almost 90 points with our starting PG and his (talented) backup on the bench. Fasten your seatbealts ... this will be a fun year once we get healed up.
