Though it was disappointing that we kept jumping out to 15 point leads & couldn't put them away, I loved the fact that somebody different stepped up at various times to put a stop to their runs whenever they got to within five.
Dirty - He had a great game. His shot is on fire this season. He looks a lot like Steve Novak. Lot's of mention by the announcers about how Ark. did not get out on him, but several of his shots were from a couple of feet beyond the arc & were at or near NBA trey range, so maybe that is easier said than done. All that being said, his game is still one dimensional & teams that pay attention to him will be able to limit his production, though that should open up the floor for others.
MCW - Wow, he gets to the hoop at will. His little teardrop shot is unstoppable. He sees the floor with incredible vision. He boards & he defends. He is only 5 games into his starting role. If he can cut his TOs & show a J (as the announcer said) he might go high lotto. let's enjoy him now - he will be gonzo.
CJ - totally typical game for him. Nuttin else to say.
Brandon - He personally stopped one of their runs by getting 8 straight points. Very solid 17-3-3-4 game, but somehow, I think he can still be better than he has shown.
BMK - At this point - our best center. Nobody has mentioned, but I thought his jump shot off the glass was the single most important play of the game. It stopped one of their runs & the nature of the shot said - "this is our night - not yours."
X & DC2 - Bye, bye Dakari - these two aren't going anywhere at the end of this season. Both are works in progress that need college seasoning & should not be drafted at this point in time. X has limited skills and DC2 has limited athleticism. I wish we could merge the two into one body.
Cooney - Wow, so much criticism of this kid. He played a solid floor game. He only took one bad shot. He hustles hard & plays good D. He is pressing to impress. Once he calms down & lets the game come to him his shot will fall. He has the stroke. I think it will happen sooner rather than later, but happen it will.
Jerami - Gone in the blink of an eye....his time will come, but not this season.
The D - Lot's of complaining about the refs, but I see too much reaching & too little moving of the feet to get into position, particularly with our in the paint D. I expect this to improve as the season progresses. It better because we only really have 8 guys who will play & we can't afford this type of foul trouble.
