my two cents

[kcsu]

Solid performance by the guys. Not a ton to take from these scrimmages but here are my thoughts.

Davis is going to see minutes. He is a big strong kid with skills. He can shoot it, rebound, pass and put it on the floor. He is an adult player who is going to get better as the year goes on.

Choppa is going to play as well. Nice stroke and he looks very smooth for a frosh. I see him as the third G.

JJ is our key. He looks to be 100 back. No issues with the hitch. He is our leader.

7 4 runs well and looks to be healthy. I believe he will get about 5 minutes per half maybe more.

Everyone else looks fine. Petar seemed a little off from the first outing, but I believe he is going to be solidly in the mix. Carlos is solid really like his game and I thought that Taylor had a nice night. Showed that he too will see some court time.

We have a deep team. We lack athleticism but we do have a group of high IQ players, and we have shooters. Every game is going to be a grind this year. I don't see us getting blown out or blowing out too many teams. Upside is a 6 seed outside is another bubble. Should be a fun ride.

It just seems like we have more kids capable of making shots if they take good ones.

I have evolved into a McLeod fanboy over the off season.

I really hope he gets to average 16-18 minutes. The contrast in playing styles and endurance of both centers leads me to want to sub them in and out every 4 minutes or so.

McLeod has been really effective against good teams at times.

The big X factor is Chance. Imagine if he can contribute. Then we are REALLY deep. I’m not very confident here, but we can dream.

Can't say as I agree on this one.

Red knows what’s up. If this team locks in and gets after it on defense and the boards- offense is easy for this group. Whether running off misses or taking advantage of having 5 capable shooters on the floor most of the time as well as an inside presence. If he can get these kids to realize that - there’s a lot he can do with this group.
