I'm a big Anya fan.  He just looks better every time I see him both physically and skills.  They are the same height but Coleman looks a lot bigger than Anya (at least in my eyes).  This isn't to say that Anya is small.  He is still a big guy but has made huge strides in modifying his body the last 4 years since I first saw him on the JV team.  He actually looked lean to me whereas Coleman is just thick.  Anya had a couple nice post moves using a baby hook and can get up off the ground a lot quicker and higher than Coleman can, but they really didn't go one one one too much in the post.

This was the first time I've seen DeMatha this year but if it's anything like last year, I am consistently amazed that DeMatha doesn't look for Anya (and last year Hopkins also) more often in the post.  Granted they have really good guards but they actually struggled to score in several games last year.  They are very guard oriented and the big guys clean up the boards.

Grant is definitely the prototypical Syracuse forward.  I'm hoping as the season progresses he takes more opportunities to drive to the bucket they way some of DeMatha's swingman in the past have done (his brother, Jerian,  Oladipo (no on IU), and Hibbert (think he went to T A&M).

I hope to get to the Friday game when DeMatha goes to Arch Bishop Carroll.  KJo's old stomping grounds!
