This was my first look at our team. Hard to draw conclusions from one game against an over-matched foe, but here are a few thoughts:

1. Dion is hugely improved and much more fit. He has a chance to be our most improved and perhaps even our go to guy before all is said & done.

2. Scoop - he showed nothing tonight, but don't write him off. He will step it up when he has to.

3. Kris & Brandon - both looked like solid upperclassmen. Kris has a chance to be our go to guy. Brandon - maybe some games he will be the man, but I just don't see it happening consistantly.

4. CJ - I just love this kids game. He looks more confident in his stroke. Excuse me, but why is he not starting ???

5. The bigs - much talk about Melo & I am on board with all of it. I liked what I saw from Keita. He deserves some more minutes. XMas - sorry, but this kid is should not be starting on this team  He will be a player.....in a year or two. For now, he is too raw. I think Keita, at this stage of the game is XMas's equal or better on O & I think Keita is also a  better rebounder & defender.

6. James - very impressed tonight. Last season he allowed himself to be intimidated when playing aginst physically stronger opponents. Time will tell as to whether that is now a thing of the past.

7. MCW - I liked his instincts. Tons of potential & he will be part of the rotation. Good chance he might really break out as a soph.

8. TC - appears he will be shirting. That is a good thing - too many guys who deserve 20+ minutes ahead of him.
