This was my first look at the team, and I only got to see half the game due to the ESPN2 telecast.

Got to see very little of Donnie and no Choppa, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

Lampkin - agree with all the Kudos. Kid is a hustling warrior who sees the Court and plays unselfishly. It is such a pleasure to see some bullyball instead of tinker toys in our frontcourt.

JJ - Looked solid - did what he was supposed to do. I thought the ticky tack foul called on him with a minute or two left really broke our momentum and got their guy Johnson going from the FT line, after which Johnson kinda took over the game in the last few minutes.

Davis - Some muscle from the four at last. Solid player.

Donnie - Red sat him for most of the second half, liked the potential from the glimpses I saw.

Taylor and Carlos - Cant have two guys getting that much PT who cant score.

Bell - shot was off, but loved the way he ran down the court to get those two blocks out of nowhere.

Choppa - need to see him before I can have an opinion.

Unlike all the criticism I read about D in games I did not get to see, I liked the D energy.

The way I see things, I think our big hole is PG and I dont think Carlos will be the solution.

I think our best lineup might be to go big - Eddie, Donnie, Davis, Bell, and JJ.  Can JJ be an adequate PG ??? Dont know, but if he could adapt to the role we might have something.
