Saw a condensed version.   Jesse dominated as he was 4 to 5 inches taller than his opponents,   We saw AAU ball in the 2nd half.   Based on JB's comments he has an idea who will be playing a lot and those individuals received plenty of commentary in his post game presser.   Re: Mintz,  JB's comment is that in practice he is able to easily (sort of) dribble past his man with his quick step.  He was also doing that in exhibition games.  Against better defenders that we will face he will need to do a better job of distributing the ball.  That last point will depend on how successful SU is in the half court game this year.  Ability to adjust to defences is what made our former point guards great.  Lets hope Judah Mintz has that ability to adjust.

Commentary on Benny Williams from JB in the presser was that he needs to get more aggressive going to the basket.  BW shot 1-7 however he was 4-4 from the FT.  JB wants him attacking the rim. He lit into Jesse quite a bit and Joe as well for his 2nd half performance.  His most telling  comment is that "There is a lot to work on when looking at the 2nd half".  (or something like that).   Would be nice to be the fly on the wall in that film session.  LOL

Again, JB loves to generate mismatched due to opponents foul trouble.  When SU is able to do that (get opponents into fould trouble), it makes us incredibly effective in what we want to do on the offensive end.   I think this team can do that.  Attack the rim, draw fouls and change the game plan for the other team.
